By Mark Bryant ,
StaffWriter
When Fresno State football
came out with the "Four-
Quarter Football" slogan for the
1992 season, they weren't
kidding.
It wasn't until Anthony
Daigle pounded bome a three-
yard touchdown run with 2:39
to go that the Bulldogs' 42-31
barnburner win over Wyoming
was sealed, and the Red Wave's
31,088 patrons could rjreathea
long sigh of relief.
The Bulldogs were looking
to post their second straight win
for tbe first time this season,
and it looked early on that they
were going to do it in pinball-
machine sty le— with a28-point
gorge in tbe first IS minutes.
Qiiarterback Trent Dilfer
and company drew blood on
the first two possessions, mixing it
i up well. After Ron Rivers sliced
for 22 yards-on his first three
carries, wideout Michael Ross had
time to get behind the Cowboys'
secondary for a 52-yard strike.
Boom—the 'Dogs were up 7-0.
On the next drive, the Bulldogs
drove 73 yards in six plays to
another score. Dilfer hit Malcolm
Seabron on a 27-yard TD pass to
rise up 14-0.
They would get another on
Anthony Daigle's one-yard TD
blast It was 21-0. On the ensuing
kickoff, Wyoming's Ryan
Christophierson couldn't hang on
totheSahortkkkandthcBuUdogs'
Gabe Romero recovered.
"That was an area which gave
us trouble all night long,"
Wyoming head Coach Joe Tiller
sail
The turnover led to a six-yard
scamper by Rivers to put the
Bulldogs ahead 28-0 and
Wyoming in a gaping hole that
looted to'be growing wider by
each Bulldog possession. Dilfer
was perfect in his first seven
attempts for 139 yards.
"Our offensive line has to get
the credit," FSU head Coach Jim
Sweeney said. "They make the
good backs we ha ve look great
We also caught the ball
extremely well."
In the second quarter, the
Cowboys began to chip away

. The running game is back.
Fresno State, which averaged
160 yards rushing in its last mree
mines against Washington State,
Louisiana Tech and BYU, has

and running backs Ron Rivers and
a\nthony Daigle combined for 250
yards .Saturday night against
Wyoming.
Neal continued to run up the
career rushing bidder running
for 98 yards on 14 carries.

career list with 2,127 yards and

could do this but wasn't sure

SDSU

Sometimes it takes a really bad
loss to fire up a team.
Witness the 24th ranked Fresno
State women's volleyball team.
The Bulldogs lost a match they
should have won Tuesday night to
Cal Poly-SLO and they were mad.
Friday night at the North Gym,
the spikers took their anger out on
San Diego State, 15-4,15-13,10-
15 and 16-14.
The victory kept the BuUojpgs
(7-1, 13-8) a match behind BYU
for the WAC title. The Cougars
are at the North Gym Nov. 13. But
before that the Bulldogs hit the
road for two must-win matches .
'vith Colorado State and Wyoming.
The .Aztecs, who were swept in
the season series, fell to 3-5 in the
conference and 18-7 overall.
According to JenniferCraw and
Andrea Radmilovich, the spikers
made sure they were ready for
SDSU. *
"We were fired up," Craw said.
"I know I didnt want to lose again.
It was nice to beat a team in
conference twice in one year. I'm '
glad we came back. I knew we
could do it
"After Cal Poly we needed to
prove something," Radmilovich
said.
. As a reminder to Tuesday night,
when they were unfocused, the
spikers came- out to warm-ups
thinking one thing—focus.
"We needed to focus," FSU
head Coach Lindy Vivas said.
The Bulldogs came outjnore
than focused The team had fire in
its eyes. They jumped all over die
Aztecs in the first game. Before
the .Aztecs were situated they were
down 7-0.
Five errors by the Aztecs helped
the spikers* cause. There also were
kills by Craw, Radmilovich and
Nicole Chen.
.Aztec head Coach Miles Gabel
called timeout at 7-0. But it didn't
get much better for his team. The
Bulldogs would extend their lead
toll-2andwouWeventuaUycruise
to the 15-4 win. The Aztecs hit
only .028 in the game. The
Bulldogs hit .429.
