play. But, unlike Fresno State,
they are coming off a win and
carrying some momentum into
the game.
The Cowboys turned a lot of
heads two weeks ago when they
nearly knocked off then-No.l
Nebraska. They led in that game
21-7 before falling 42-32. Those
32 points were the most against
the Huskers in three years and
Fresno State head coach Jim
Sweeney said th a t game was no
fluke.
Sweeney is well aware that
Wyoming could cause his team
some problems. "Wyoming is
very good. They do a lot of
tilings well as would attest for
their performance against Ne¬
braska," said Sweeney.
This past Saturday the Cow¬
boys beat Northeast Louisiana
28-14 in a ho-hum non-confer¬
ence game.
The momentum is different
but trie pressure is the same; the
loser will most likely be dropped
from bowl contention.
Wyoming head coach Joe
Tiller, who played for Sweeney
at Montana State and later
served as an assistant to him, is
bringing in a team that shared
the WAC title with the Bulldogs
and BYU last season.
The Cowboys are led by run¬
ning back Ryan Christopherson.
The 240-pound senior is the
WAC's leading rusher with 133
yards per game. He needs only
27 yards more to break the
school's career rushing record.
He should go over that mark on
Saturday.
Christopherson's mate in the
backfield is Tetry Hendricks
who has 301 yards on just 58
carries. Together they make up
a potent one-two punch.'
Wyoming has suffered from
inconsistent play at the quarter¬
back position. They began the
season with senior John Gustin
as their starter. But Gustin,
prone to interceptions, was r**-
placed by redshirt freshman Jer¬
emy Dombeck during their 41-7
loss to Utah three weeks ago.
In his first start, Dombeck lit
Nebraska's defense up for 344
yards as the Cowboys' nearly
pulled off the shocker. How¬
ever, la%t week against North¬
east Louisiana, he was ineffec¬
tive and benched. He is still
slated to start tomorrow night
This instability at QB is re¬
flective.of their up and down
season. One week they get
blown out by Utah but the next
they nearly knock off Nebraska.
The Cowboys are fifth in the
WAC in total offense.
Wyoming is facing a much
improved Bulldog defense com¬
pared to last season. Fresno State
is giving up 50 yards in total
offense and a touchdown less
per game than a year ago. They
are also yielding only 165 rush¬
ing yards per game compared
to 217 a game last season.
The Bulldogs stand-out on
defense has been senior strong
safety Lance Thomas. Thomas
leads the team in tackles (57) ■
and interceptions (3).
Linebacker Gene Smith is
coming off one of the finest
games of his career against BYU.
Smith, a junior, hounded the
Cougars' talented QB John
Walsh all night Smith came up
with two sacks, three QB hur¬
ries, one pass deflection, and six
unassisted tackles. \v
Fresno State's oSensfewill be
challenged by the WAC's No.2
defense (3>6 ypg).

get in WR Charlie Jones. The
two hooked up six times and
109 of Donati's 255 passing
yards went to Jones.
Donati is second in the WAC
in passing efficiency (147J rat¬
ing) and has yet to throw an
interception. Jones, who contin¬
ues to move up the school's
record charts, has 25 catches for
487 vards and three touch¬
downs.-'
The'Bulldog running game
cart be summed up in two
words-Jerome Oliver. Oliver is '
coming off a 96-yard perfor¬
mance against BYU and is aver¬
aging around 154 yards and 33
carries in his three starts.
If the Bulldog offense is to
have any success at all they can't
turn tne ball over like they did
against BYU. In that game they
lost three rumbles and another
fumble that led to a safety.
"I think we have a real good
chance to beat them if we just
execute, not. beat ourselves-
don't turn the ball over," said
Sweeney.
Fresno State could be look¬
ing for some revenge. Last year
the Cowboys cost them an out¬
right WAC title in a come-from-
behind 32-28 win. The Bulldogs
were up 28-10 with 18 minutes
left to play. But Wyoming ran
off 22 points to capture the last
minute win. A 56-yard
Christopherson touchdown run
helped key that comeback.
Last season's game was only
the second ever meeting be¬
tween the two schools. They first
played in 1992, a 42-31 Bulldog
win.
Swimmers open
season tomorrow
By George Smith
Seven long weeks of prac¬
tice, or training camp if you willf
hope to pay off for the Lady
Bulldogs swim team Saturday,
as they invade, Cal State
Northridge to begin whatcould
be a very promising season.
"Northridge has a good pro¬
gram, and is a good school to
open the season with," said head
coach Daniella Irle. "It gives us
the chance to showcase our new
talent, and the opportunity to
be challenged at the same time.".
FSU's schedule, according to
coach Irle, was designed to be¬
gin with a mild challenge such
as the Matadors, then move up
in the ranks, with Pepperdine
here at home Oct. 30. The Bull¬
dogs host all of trjelr meets at
the Clovis West pool.
"This is an exciting first meet,"
said co-captafin Janelle Weber-
Plank. "Northridge is a good
start for us, but we should ap¬
proach this like any other meet"
Although this may be "any
other meet," the first one is al¬
ways one of the biggest of the
season. aAnd with Fresno State's
solid nucleus of returning vet¬
erans and an exciting group of
recruits, Northridge had better
be ready.-
