Since GSU is almost exclusively a running team, I think this is a relevant stat.
Fresno’s QB, Jorge Reyna, likes to run the ball a lot. Here are his rushing numbers for the first two games.
USC: 20 carries, 88 yards.
Minnesota: 11 carries,-19 yards.
Fresno’s team rushing yards...
USC: 206
Minnesota: 57
I don’t think Tomlin is much of a passing threat, so as long as the Gopher defense stays disciplined, and stays in their lanes (unlike Maine, they sucked), it might look a lot like the Georgia Tech game.
Also...Tomlin was a fumbling machine in the Maine game, so that could be a factor too. To be fair, the Gophers didn’t hang on to the ball very well in the Fresno game, but that’s not the norm. Fumbles and untimely penalties (3 of them when we stopped them on 3rd down!) are the reasons the game was close.
