FRESNO, Calif. - Ryan Colburn matched his career high with four touchdown passes and Fresno State overcame a slow start in the season opener before snapping Cincinnati's 18-game regular-season winning streak with a 28-14 victory Saturday night. Colburn connected with Robbie Rouse, Jamel Hamler, Devon Wylie and Rashad Evans to help the Bulldogs overcome an early 14-0 deficit and hand Butch Jones a loss in his first game as Cincinnati's coach. Jones took over the two-time defending Big East champions after Brian Kelly left for Notre Dame. He kept the spread offense that was so successful under Kelly and revamped a defense that struggled late last season. For one quarter it looked as if the results would be the same as they usually were during Kelly's reign. But the Bearcats eventually wilted in the 94-degree heat against an inspired opponent. The Bulldogs recorded their 16th win since the start of the 2000 season against teams from conferences that automatically qualify for the . Fresno State coach Pat Hill felt as if his team should have beaten the Bearcats on the road last year when star running back Ryan Mathews helped them keep the ball for nearly 44 minutes of a 28-20 loss. This time, the Bulldogs attacked through the air and it paid off. Colburn completed 18 of 24 passes for 247 yards and one interception. He matched the four TD passes he threw in a loss at Wisconsin last season. Held to one first down on their first seven drives, the Bulldogs scored touchdowns on their next three, taking a 21-14 lead early in the third quarter on Colburn's 28-yard pass to Wylie. The touchdown came one play after they converted a fourth-and-2 with a short pass to Tapa Taumoepeau. The turnaround was just as stark on the other side of the ball as the Bearcats were held to minus- 6 yards in a span of more than 22 minutes after taking a 14-0 lead on ' touchdown run early in the second quarter. Cincinnati's Jacob Rogers missed wide right on a 48-yard field-goal attempt late in the third quarter. Colburn then hit Rashad Evans on a 59-yard pass on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 28-14. The Bulldogs sacked Collaros on three successive plays on the following drive as the Bearcats offense struggled to find a rhythm. Collaros completed 24 of 41 passes for 219 yards, throwing for one touchdown and running for another, but he was sacked eight times. The Bearcats were held to 15 yards rushing in their first regular-season loss since a 40-16 defeat at Connecticut on Oct. 25, 2008. The Bearcats got off to the early lead, getting a 23-yard TD pass from Collaros to D.J. Woods following an interception by Pat Lambert. Collaros' 5-yard run early in the second quarter made it 14-0. At that point, Cincinnati had outgained Fresno State 195-8 and had two more touchdowns than the Bulldogs had first downs.

LOGAN, Utah - A.J. Ellis ran for 165 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead Fresno State past Utah State 41-24 Saturday night. The Dogs improved to 2-0 on the season, 1-0 in the WAC.

Quarterback Ryan Colburn also ran for 44 yards and threw for 149 yards and a touchdown for the Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 Western Athletic), who scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Utah State (1-2, 0-1) led in total offensive yards at the end of three closely played quarters (274- 269) and had the score tied at 24, but the Aggies gained only 37 yards in the final quarter. The Bulldog defense held the Aggies to just one first down in the fourth quarter. USU was led by quarterback Diondre Borel, who threw for 106 yards and ran for 89 more. But Fresno State's defense held Borel to 4-of-13 passing in the second half. Fresno State's special teams were a big part of the game, as the Dogs blocked a field goal attempt and a punt. Since 2002, Fresno State leads the NCAA in blocks with 51.

Game #3 Mississippi 55, Fresno State 38 September 26, 2010

OXFORD, Miss. -Pat Hill was proud of his team for fighting back. In the end the Bulldogs, once down 41- 10, dropped a 55-38 loss to Ole Miss Saturday night. The Rebels (2-2), who wilted in the second half of home losses to Jacksonville State and Vanderbilt, built an insurmountable 41-10 lead early in the third quarter. Ole Miss scored on six of seven offensive series that carried into the second half, erasing an early 7-0 deficit. Ole Miss rolled up 578 yards of total offense, including 425 on the ground against a Fresno State unit that ranked among the nation's leaders entering the game. The Bulldogs had given up only 272 yards per game and allowed only one touchdown in the second half. "I was proud of our team for not quiting," said Hill. "Down 41-10, a lot of team would have folded it up. We showed a lot of heart We have some great leadership on this team. We didn't have all of our weapons tonight and I was worried Mississippi would come out and play with their backs against the ball and they did. They are a talented an prideful team. We have three home games in a row and are looking forward to getting home and getting back on track. Fresno State (2-1) rallied with Ryan Colburn, who finished 32-for-42 for 390 yards and four touchdowns. The Bulldogs finished with 420 yards in total offense, but were hampered by five sacks, a lost fumble and a blocked field goal attempt. Jalen Saunders, Jamel Hamler, Austin Raphael and Tapa Taumoepeau had touchdown catches of 16, 9, 3 and 2 yards, respectively, for the Bulldogs. Michael Harris added a 2-yard touchdown run, but Fresno State never got closer than 10 points in the final period. Ole Miss quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was an efficient 8-for-12 passing for 153 yards with touchdown passes to Melvin Harris for 30 yards and Bolden for four yards. Masoli added 59 rushing yards, including an early 56-yard run that set up the opening touchdown.

Game #6 Fresno State 33, New Mexico State 10 October 16, 2010

FRESNO, Calif. - Sophomore running back Robbie Rouse rushed for a season-high 150 yards and two touchdowns Saturday night as Fresno State rolled over New Mexico State 33-10 in Fresno State's Centennial game. It was Fresno State's 17th straight win over the Aggies. Rouse ran for scores of 57 and 38 yards in the first half and Ryan Colburn completed 12 of 20 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown for Fresno State (4-2, 2-1 WAC). The Bulldogs scored all but three of their points in the first half. Chris Carter led the Bulldogs' defense with nine tackles and three sacks, including two forced fumbles. Carter, a first-team All-WAC player in 2009, has seven sacks on the season. He led a Bulldog defense that held the Aggies to three points and just 34 net rushing yards through the first three quarters. NMSU added a late touchdown against the Bulldog reserves. Fresno State's defense also forced a safety and harrassed the Aggie's quartebacks all night long. Colburn threw one touchdown pass to sophomore Tapa Taumoepeau, and freshman Isaiah Burse scored on a reverse as Fresno State jumped to a 30-3 lead by halftime, Fresno State's only points in the second half came off the foot of kicker Kevin Goessling, an All-America and Lou Groza Award candidate. Goessling kicked a 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Bulldog football team continued their dominance over longtime rival San Jose State with a solid 33-18 Western Athletic Conference road victory to mark the 16th win in the past 17 meetings on a rainy Saturday night in the Bay Area.

Game #9 Nevada 35, Fresno State 34 November 13, 2010

FRESNO, Calif. - In one of the most entertaining games in recent memory at Bulldog Stadium, No. 21 Nevada earned a come from behind 35-34 win over Fresno State on Saturday night. Fresno State's defense played well for the majority of the game, holding the nation's No.2 offensive unit to 140 yards under its season average and nine points under its scoring average, but the Dogs came up 1 point short on the scoreboard. Fresno State jumped to an early 14-7 lead in the first quarter on a pair of Robbie Rouse touchdowns. Rouse, who finished with three scores on the night rushed for 217 yards, the 12th-best game in school history. It was the second straight game of more than 200 rushing yards, becoming the first Bulldog to ever accomplish that feat. Rouse scored on runs of 2 and 44 yards and had a 12-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Ryan Colburn. Nevada scored a late second quarter touchdown to take a 21-17 lead at halftime. Frsno State opened the scoring in the second half on an Isaiah Burse touchdown catch from Colbrun and extended the lead to 34-28 on a Kevin Goessling 34-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Vai Taua's 24-yard scamper up the middle with 4:51 remaining gave the Wolf Pack (9-1, 4-1 WAC) its first lead since midway through the third quarter. Robbie Rouse rushed for 217 yards and scored three touchdowns for Fresno State (6-3, 4-2) in a game with six lead changes. The Bulldogs drove to midfield before turning the ball over on downs with 1:26 left. Fresno State scored 10 straight points to go ahead 34-28. The touchdown came on a spectacular 44-yard touchdown run by Rouse. The Bulldogs got excellent field position on their opening drive of the second half when Nevada punter Brad Langley booted the ball off the back of a teammate's helmet. Fresno State took over at midfield and found the end zone four plays later when the left-handed Colburn scrambled to his right and found Isaiah Burse down the middle for a 26-yard touchdown. Kaepernick answered with a 19-yard touchdown run, faking the handoff before taking off up the middle, as the Wolf Pack regained a 28-24 lead with 9:28 left in the third quarter. Trailing 34-28 following Fresno State's 10-point surge, Nevada marched downfield for the potential go-ahead touchdown. But on 4th-and-1 from the Bulldogs 8, Kyle Knox and Desia Dunn smothered Taua for no gain. Fresno State failed to move the ball, and the Wolf Pack took over on its 46 to set up Taua's go- ahead score. Rouse was coming off a career-high 286-yard effort in Fresno State's 40-34 victory over Louisiana Tech. Nevada scored two touchdowns in a 27-second span late in the second quarter to take a 21-17 halftime lead. The Wolf Pack trailed by 10 before two TDs by Taua swung the momentum. One was set up by Colburn fumbling. Kaepernick shook off a sluggish start by leading Nevada on a 10-play, 73-yard drive, capped by a 4-yard Taua touchdown run with 1:01 left before halftime. The senior converted two third downs on pass completions during the march to trim Fresno State's lead to 17-14. On the ensuing possession, Colburn dropped back and the ball slipped from his hand without being touched. Ryan Coulson made the recovery for Nevada on the Bulldogs 20. Following a 19-yard pass to Brandon Wimberly, the Wolf Pack was in the end zone again when Taua plunged in from 1 yard with 34 seconds left. Nevada even got the ball back on a squib kick but could not move the football in the final 27 seconds. Fresno State led 17-7 with 4:18 remaining in the second quarter on a 42-yard field goal by Kevin Goessling. Rouse scored the Bulldogs' first two touchdowns on a 12-yard catch and a 2-yard run on Fresno State's opening drive. Kaepernick passed for 114 yards and ran for 95 in the first half. His only mistake was an interception by safety Lorne Bell for a touchback that went right through the hands receiver Malcolm Shepherd. After Fresno State scored on its opening drive, Kaepernick pulled the Wolf Pack even by faking the handoff and running around the right end 47 yards for a touchdown.

Game #10 Boise State 51, Fresno State 0 November 19, 2010

BOISE, Idaho - With the national stage left to Boise State, a mistake-filled first quarter wasn't the first impression Kellen Moore wanted to give. The rest of the night, he was nearly flawless, perhaps topped only by a dominant performance from the Broncos' defense. Moore shook off an interception and fumble in the first quarter to throw for 333 yards and four touchdowns, two each to Titus Young -- who caught eight passes for a career-high 164 yards -- and Austin Pettis, and the Broncos (No. 3 BCS, No. 4 AP) used a smothering defense to rout Fresno State 51-0 on Friday night. With the rest of the BCS hierarchy -- Oregon, Auburn and TCU -- taking the weekend off, Boise State was the main attraction. And after stumbling early, the Broncos didn't disappoint. Wearing all-orange uniforms for what was believed to be the first time in nearly 20 years, the Broncos (10-0, 6-0 WAC) rolled to their 24th straight win, extending the longest streak in the country. The Broncos handed Fresno State its first shutout loss since a 10-0 loss to San Diego State on Nov. 7, 1998. The Bulldogs entered Friday night averaging nearly 400 yards and 35 points. The Bulldogs (6-4, 4-3) managed just nine first downs and 125 total yards. Ryan Colburn was sacked four times and the Bulldogs gained 42 of their 125 yards on their final drive. Robbie Rouse was the one asked to ground out this one for the Bulldogs, appearing especially dangerous after running for 286 yards against Louisiana Tech and following up with 217 last week against Nevada. Aside from one dash for 23 yards, Rouse was a non-factor, gaining 37 of his 70 yards on the Bulldogs' final drive. Colburn caught the ire of Hill on a few occasions for his decisions and finished 6-of- 23 for 76 yards. Moore, who completed 27-of-38 passes, and Young also added their names to even more pages in the Boise State record books. Moore became the school's career leader in yards passing, jumping past Ryan Dinwiddie. By the end of the regular season, Moore could crack the 10,000-yard mark. Not surprisingly, Young has been on the receiving end of many of those yards and became Boise State's career leader in yards receiving on a 42-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter that made it 17-0. Even kicker Kyle Brotzman got into the record book, becoming the school's career scoring leader, helped by field goals of 20, 20 and 50 yards. Pettis added 10 catches for 93 yards and touchdown catches of 15 and 6 yards in the third quarter. Fresno State's best chance of at least making the chilly night interesting came on the lost fumble by Moore, who let the ball slip from his hands as he started his throwing motion. Defensive tackle Logan Harrell came up with the fumble and started toward the end zone, but the play was called an incompletion on the field. It was overturned on replay, but Harrell had nothing but blue turf between himself and the end zone. Colburn was sacked on the ensuing possession, ending the Bulldogs' best chance at a score.

Game #12 Fresno State 25, Illinois 23 December 3, 2010

FRESNO, Calif. - Ryan Colburn threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns to help Fresno State beat Illinois 25-23 on Friday night to end the regular season the way it started, with a home victory over a team from a major conference. The Bulldogs (8-4, 4-3 WAC) earned their 17th win since 2000 against a team from a BCS conference to tie Utah for the most by any school from a non-automatic qualifying conference. Fresno State also beat Cincinnati of the Big East in the season opener. The Bulldogs improved to 3-6 against Big Ten teams, including last year's 53-52 win at Illinois. This game wasn't nearly as dramatic as that contest, which ended when 350-pound offensive lineman Devan Cunningham caught a deflected pass and made his way into the end zone for the winning 2-point conversion with 2 seconds left. The Bulldogs got off to a fast start with Colburn throwing a 27-yard TD screen pass to A.J. Ellis on the first drive and then exploiting a blown coverage for a 78-yarder to Jalen Saunders on the first play of the second possession to make it 13-0. Junior kicker Kevin Goessling increased the Dogs lead with 45-yard field goal putting Fresno State up 16-0. Goessline also nailed a field goal from 52-yards. The Bulldog defense limited the Illini to 10 points in the first half. Senior Chris Carter tacked on another sack against Illinois bringing his season total to 11. He finished the night with three sacks. Safety Lorne Bell led the team in tackles with 10 in his last game at Bulldog Stadium. Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaasse was sacked four times by the Dogs defense. The Fighting Illini came within two points after A.J. Jenkins scored on an 18-yard pass from Scheelhaasse The Bulldogs responded with a touchdown drive of their own, with Colburn throwing a 21-yarder Rashad Evans and Fresno State led 25-17. Illinois would score again, but the Dogs ran the clock down and earned their eighth win of the season on senior night.

Pat Hill Head Coach 14th Season With great vision, an unparalleled work ethic, and passion for the Valley, Pat Hill’s stamp on the Fresno State football program is undeniable. After 14 years, the Bulldog program is nationally recognized for its success in all areas: wins and bowl games appearances, academic achievement, and character of the young men who’ve come through the program. Under Hill, the program has received national attention and is recognized as a premier program. He is recognized as an elite coach, having been selected to coach in college all-star games twice in the last six seasons. The success stories are many, but what’s most impressive is the consistent and unwavering commitment to the principles he established over a decade ago. The Dogs continue to play a rigorous non-conference schedule, play a tough “hard nosed” brand of football on the field, recruit Valley high school players, and set an “Academic Gameplan” that sees student- athletes through to graduation. Hill's program has grown accustomed of being in the national spotlight. Never was it brighter than in 2001, when Hill guided the program to unprecedented heights - 11 wins, a bowl invitation, a top 10 ranking, wins over Wisconsin, Colorado and Oregon State, another record-setting attendance mark and a Sports Illustrated cover story. With over 70 national television appearances since 2000, fans from around the country know about the Bulldog program. Despite these lofty achievements, Hill is still adamant this is just an indication of greater things to come. His motto of "Building a New Tradition on a National Level" is stronger now than ever, especially after winning 17 games against BCS teams since 2000 – among the highest of any non-BCS teams in the country. Among those victories are four recent bowl wins against Georgia Tech (twice), UCLA and No. 18 Virginia. Hill has also taken the Bulldogs to new heights in the Western Athletic Conference. His overall league record of 78-33 is one of the best in the WAC as he is the dean of WAC football coaches. The 59-year-old Hill was the Bulldogs' recruiting coordinator from 1984-89, a six-year period in which Fresno State was 53-16-1, averaged nearly nine wins per season, captured three league titles and won three bowl games. During that six-year stint as the recruiting coordinator and line coach under former head coach Jim Sweeney, Hill contributed at a championship level. In addition to the conference crowns and bowl victories, the Bulldogs saw 14 players drafted by NFL teams, including the likes of J.D. Williams, Ron Cox, Michael Stewart and Aaron Craver. Fresno State's 1985 team was the only unbeaten Division I-A squad in the country, finishing the season 16th in the polls. Hill's offensive line also provided the pass protection and run blocking for an offensive unit that averaged 32 points per game over those six seasons, including a nation-leading 41 points per game in '85. Success continued for Hill when he moved on to the as Dick Tomey's offensive coordinator and offensive line coach in 1990 and '91. In just his first season, the Wildcats went 7-5 and played in the Aloha Bowl. Both seasons, the 'Cats finished in the top five of the Pac-10 in rushing offense, averaging nearly 200 yards per game on the ground. Four players earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors in his two seasons, and offensive lineman John Fina was a first round NFL draft choice. When he left Arizona, he did so to realize another career goal -- coaching in the . Hill joined the Cleveland Browns in 1992 and spent five seasons in the organization, coaching tight ends and offensive line in addition to working in the personnel department evaluating players. While there, he formed a life-lasting friendship with , whom Hill credits for teaching him with a structure that has proven successful. Hill would have been happy to remain in the NFL had the Fresno State job not opened a possibility for him. Hill began his coaching career as offensive line coach at Los Angeles Valley College from 1974-76, helping the Monarchs to a state junior college championship in 1975. He then served as offensive line coach at Utah from 1977-80 under Wayne Howard; was offensive line coach and offensive coordinator at UNLV from 1981-82 under Tony Knapp; and was offensive coordinator with the of the CFL in 1983 under Jack Gotta. The list of players recruited and signed by Hill at the collegiate level is impressive. Under his leadership, such greats as David Carr, Ryan Mathews, Richard Marshall, Logan Mankins, James Sanders, Alan Harper, Rodney Wright, Randall Cunningham, Tracy Rogers, Ron Cox, Aaron Craver, Marquez Pope, Lorenzo Neal, Jethro Franklin, Tony Brown, J.D. Williams, Mike Withycombe, Michael Stewart, John Fina and all were inked to letters of intent. A 1973 graduate of UC Riverside, Hill was a three-time all-conference center, earning All-America honors as a senior. He was inducted into the UC Riverside Hall of Fame in 1989. It was at UC Riverside where he crossed paths with Ron McBride, then a UCR assistant and formerly the Utah head coach, who helped steer Hill into a football coaching career. In August, Hill and Fresno State agreed to a new contract to keep him on the sidelines through the 2013 season. Hill and his wife, Cathy, have three children. Their eldest, Michael, is a recent graduate of Fresno State. Zak is a sophomore safety on the Bulldog squad and Matt, who played at Cal Poly until a career-ending injury, is a college student in southern California. Hill was born Dec. 17, 1951, in Los Angeles.

Academic Success Hill kept his promise when he was hired to shore up the team's academic woes. One of the first projects he brought to the table is well underway with positive results coming in droves. Academic Gameplan, the brainchild of John Baxter, Hill's associate head coach, was touted early in the building stages in the program, not as a quick fix-all to placate university professors, but instead to make sure academics are first priority. He has accomplished much in a short time. The team GPA has risen from a 2.21 to a 2.87. He produced the first Academic All-American in the program's history in 1999, senior cornerback Payton Williams. In 13 years, the program has produced 141 Academic All-WAC selections, most in the conference during that time. Prior to Hill's arrival, Fresno State had produced a total of nine Academic All-WAC selections. In four of the last five years, Fresno State has led the WAC in Academic All-WAC selections, producing an all-time high of 18 in 2009.

Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere Hill's accomplishments are remarkable, considering the rigorous non-conference schedule Fresno State has played since his arrival. In the last nine years, Fresno State has played 42 bowl opponents, including 22 the past four seasons. Of the team's 32 losses since 2002, 27 were to teams which played in a bowl game or were nationally ranked. But more important are the victories. Since 2000, the Bulldogs have defeated 17 BCS Conference opponents - California in 2000 and Colorado, Wisconsin and Oregon State (2001 and 2003), Georgia Tech (2002 and 2007), UCLA (2003 and 2008), Washington, Kansas State and Virginia in 2004, Kansas State and Rutgers in 2008, Illinois in 2009 and defending Big East champion Cincinnati and Illinois this season. The majority of those games were on the road. As for the victories over the Yellow Jackets, Bruins and Cavaliers, those wins came in bowl games. Fresno State's 17 wins over BCS schools in the last eight years ranks among the best of any non-BCS school. The Bulldogs are also the only non-BCS school to own three consecutive bowl victories over BCS schools. "We could win a lot of games if we schedule ourselves that way," Hill says. "Our program has to play the best and beat the best to be considered the best. That's how we are building our entire program, to reach that level of respect and success."

Building and Growing Hill talks of adding seats to Bulldog Stadium and continuing to take on the toughest non-conference teams in the nation. By looking at what he has accomplished in this decade, one has to believe he can achieve anything. Under Hill's guidance, the Duncan Building training room has been tripled in size with additional taping stations, rehabilitation pools and a private doctor's office. Also constructed were two lighted practice fields and an adjacent weight room, which provides the Bulldogs with a facility that rivals any NFL training facility. A tireless worker, Hill has been a productive fundraiser. He has spearheaded capital projects on campus, including the new Ricchiutti Academic Center, which benefits all student-athletes at Fresno State, and the Duncan Building expansion, which includes a new football locker room, coaching offices, team meeting rooms and an auditorium style theater. Hill has championed the Green V Society, a new fundraising level in the Bulldog Foundation designed to generate funds for the athletics department.

Taking it to Another Level When Hill was hired, he promised to win games and championships. He has done that. After taking over a program that hadn't won more than five games the three previous seasons, Hill won six games his first season and won a share of the WAC Championship and received a berth in the EA Sports Las Vegas Bowl in year three. He has done this while playing some of the top programs in the nation. With perennial bowl teams UCLA, Colorado, Wisconsin, No. 1 Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ohio State, No. 1 USC, No. 3 LSU, Kansas State, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Colorado State, the Bulldogs have played as tough a schedule as anyone. Fresno State has played the most BCS opponents of any non- BCS school since the 2001.
