FRESNO - Gaining bowl eligibility for the first time since 2014, the Fresno State Bulldogs picked up its sixth win of the season, defeating BYU 20-13, on Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium. "It is nice," Fresno State head coach Jeff Tedford said of being bowl eligible. "That was one of our goals we set going into the year, getting into a bowl game. We still have a lot of work to do, but it is nice to get that sixth win. The players deserve it, they work really hard. The staff has done a phenomenal job. It is always gratifying to see hard work pay off, especially in a game like tonight where it could have gone either way. We found a way to get that sixth win and I am very proud of our players and our staff."

Fresno State (6-3), who improved to 4-1 at home this season, totaled 310 yards of offense as junior quarterback Marcus McMaryion went 14-of-20 through the air for 174 yards while spreading it out to five different Bulldog pass catchers.
