Mountain West Conference Championship Game
#23 #3
Game Story
--- After three previous failed tries, Coach Ramius and Utah State had finally reached the promised land, the Mountain West Conference championship game. Their reward, a trip to Fresno, California to take on the 12-0 and #3 ranked Fresno State Bulldogs. The good news, Ramius holds a 2-1 record against the Bulldogs, defeating Fresno State 35-25 in 2022, losing to the Bulldogs 62-38 in 2021 and beating Fresno State 27-24 in overtime in 2016 while head coach at Tulsa. Not very much of a history to aid predictions, other than try your damnedest to hold Fresno State to 25 points or less for a chance to win.
Unlike our previous two opponents, this one had an offense and had one hell of a defense. Fresno State would come roaring into the game with the #3 rushing offense. The good news for us is that would be their only offense, as they also sported the #124 passing offense. On the flip side, we would have to find a way to overcome the best defense we had ever faced. Fresno State not only held the #1 defense in the nation, they held the #4 rushing defense and the #1 passing defense in the entire country. This was a team that not only put up nearly 300 yards a game rushing, but would then turn around to hold opponents to only 240 yards a game of total offense. We would have to find some way, any way, to overcome the single best defense in the entire country if we were to hope to win today. Fresno State won the coin toss and elected to kick.
A 29 yard kickoff return by David Douglas would get us off and running from our 29 yard line. Brian Paris would get things started with a four yard dash outside toward the right sideline, followed by a four yard plunge up the middle to leave third and two. Thanks to some great blocking, Paris would be able to find a hole and sprint through it for an 8 yard carry, giving us a first down at the 46 yard line. After a first down rush by Paris that resulted in no gain on the play, he would manage to do some spinning and juking in the heart of the defense and fight his way down to a 6 yard carry, somehow, to leave us facing third and four. Dropping back to pass on third down, Jason Barnes was able to just avoid the blitz and get a pass off to Aaron Allen, good for a gain of 14 yard and a new set of downs at the Fresno State 34 yard line. Thankfully Fresno State hadn’t found a way to block us yet, as Paris continued to rumble along on first down for an 8 yard gain, followed up with a four yard carry to move the chains to the 23. Bringing a first down blitz that was loaded to the left side would be a fatal mistake for the Bulldogs, as Paris got the ball and found a plethora of green field in front of him with a designed run to the right, following blockers and a giant hole all the way for an 11 yard rush and a first down at the 12 yard line. Paris would keep us moving with a three yard carry on first down, before being lit up in the backfield for a one yard loss, leaving us facing third and 8. Dropping back into the shotgun on third down, Paris would rifle a perfectly timed pass through the defense and into the hands of Adam Washington for a 10 yard touchdown, giving us a 7-0 lead with 5:20 left in the first quarter.
A wind aided kickoff would sail out of the end zone for a touchback, Fresno State lining up from their 25 yard line for their first drive of the game. A first down option keeper by Justin Corbett would result in a one yard loss and a rough start for the Bulldogs offense. That would ALLLL change on second down as another option keeper, this time to the left side, would see Corbett break into the open and race 40 yards down the left sideline before being shoved out of bounds at our 36 yard line. A designed run by Corbett would again see the Bulldogs move backwards thanks to a two yard loss on the play. Another blown up option play would result in a one yard loss to leave Fresno State with third and 13. Justin Greer would take a standard handoff straight up the middle, but would only gain two yards on the play to bring up fourth and 11. The 36 yard punt would sail into the end zone for a touchback.
Taking over at our 20 yard line following the touchback, we would again turn to Paris to get us off and running. It would be a good choice as he would find a huge hole straight through the middle for an 8 yard gain, followed by a 7 yard rush for a first down at the 34. A 5 yard first down rush would be followed up with a big 10 yard sprint, moving the chains once more to the 49 yard line. From there we would start to find trouble running, as Paris could only pick up three yards on a first down carry, before being absolutely flattened by the Fresno State defense for a three yard loss, leaving us facing third and 10. Dropping back in the shotgun on third down, Barnes would be forced to take off scrambling to avoid a sack. While he would nearly get the first down himself with a 9 yard scramble, he would be forced out of bounds before he could cross the line, leaving us punting on fourth and one. The 41 yard wind aided punt would sail into the end zone for a touchback.
Starting their next drive at their own 20 yard line, Corbett would get started with a big 16 yard option keeper for a first down at the 36 yard line. A perfectly tossed option pitch would see Chris Vincent race up field for a 10 yard carry and a new first down. Another pitch to Vincent would this time be defended properly, as Vincent would end up tackled for a two yard loss on the play. That would be the last play as the clock ran out, bringing the first quarter to an end with our lead at 7-0.
Opening up the second quarter, Fresno State lined up facing second and 12, an option keeper by Corbett picking up three yards to set up third and 9. Going into the air on third down, Corbett would try to connect with Marvin Williams in the flats, but the underthrown pass would sail right into the back of the head of our cornerback for an incomplete pass, forcing Fresno State to punt on fourth down. Sweet mother of god, Fresno State would run a fake punt run, and it would decimate our defense, as Greer would break out of three tackles and sprint down the field for a 48 yard rush before being ankle tackled from behind, giving Fresno State first and goal from our 6 yard line. Vincent would get the ball on first down, but would be quickly tackled for no gain on the play. The Bulldogs would finish it off on the next play as Corbett would run the option keeper to perfection and drive into the end zone for a 6 yard touchdown, tying the game at 7-7 with 8:48 left in the second quarter.
A 30 yard kickoff return by Douglas would start our next drive from our 24 yard line. Paris would get the call on first down, racing through the defense for a 9 yard gain, before being lit up by the blitzing defense for no gain on the play, leaving third and one. Paris would just extend our drive with a three yard rush, moving the chains to the 36 yard line. Paris would find better success on first down with a 7 yard carry around the right side, followed by a gain of 9 yards and a first down at the Fresno State 49 yard line. The first down carry by Paris would see a gain of just two yards on the play, followed by a three yard carry by Benjamin Silva to leave us with third and 5. Taking a shot with a play action pass on third down, the Fresno State defense would bite completely, leaving tight end Gerald Woods completely uncovered in the flats, the pass from Barnes good for a 21 yard gain and a first down at the 23 yard line. Paris would get the call again on first down, only to be immediately met and driven backwards for a two yard loss on the play. Going into the air on second and 12, the pass intended for Douglas would be nearly intercepted by the middle linebacker, leaving us facing third and long. Taking a shot into the end zone, the pass intended for Jon Morris would likewise be nearly intercepted, bringing our drive to an end on fourth and 12. Settling for a 41 yard field goal, the kick by Doug Marcus would sail through the uprights to give us a 10-7 lead with 5:01 left in the second quarter.
Fresno State would field the kickoff in the end zone and drop to a knee to take the touchback. Lining up from their 25 yard line, Fresno State would predictably come out running the ball, as an option keeper by Corbett would go for gain of 14 yards and an immediate first down at the 39 yard line. A first down carry by Vincent would gain just one yard on the play, followed with a 5 yard keeper by Corbett to bring up third and four. Dropping back to pass on third down, Corbett would be indecisive in the pocket, not choosing whether to throw it or scramble, and that would lead to him being sacked for a three yard loss on the play, forcing another Fresno State punt on fourth and 7. A solid 20 yard return by Jesse Breedlove on the 42 yard punt would start our drive from the 36 yard line.
Lining up at the 36, Paris would again be called on for first down, only to be blown up in the backfield for a three yard loss on the play, leaving second and 13. Abandoning the run this drive, we would turn to the shotgun on second down, but the pass intended for Washington would be broken up to leave third down. Another shotgun pass would see Barnes overthrow Allen in a rushed pass, forcing us to punt on fourth and long. A mediocre 36 yard punt would sail out of bound at the Fresno State 30 yard line.
Taking over on first down from their 30 yard line, the Bulldogs would come out running with an 8 yard keeper by Corbett on first down. Another keeper would see Corbett gain two yards, just enough for the first down at the 41 yard line. Corbett would leave the game with an injury after that play, suffering a dislocated thumb that would leave him sidelined for the rest of the game. With their starting quarterback lost for the rest of the game, it would be understandable if the Fresno State offense starting missing a beat, but instead, backup quarterback Cedric Clark would come in on first down and immediately torch our defense with his own running skills, breaking free on an option keeper for a 31 yard gain and a first down at our 28 yard line. Clark would drop back to pass on first down, but with a heavy blitz coming to try and contain the option, Clark would be left nothing but a sitting duck, ultimately sacked on the play for a 6 yard loss to leave second and 16. Clark would launch up a pass toward the left corner of the end zone, only to have the pass intercepted by cornerback Breedlove, giving us the ball at our 6 yard line.
Taking over in the shadows of our own goalposts after the interception, we would come out passing on first down with just a minute and a half left on the clock. Barnes would drop back on first down and connect with Washington for a quick 8 yard completion, followed by a 23 yard strike to a wide open Morris, giving us a first down at the 36 yard line. A quick pass to an uncovered tight end Jack Long would go for a 15 yard gain. That would be followed up by a 14 yard completion to Allen, giving us a first down at the Fresno State 34 yard line, our first timeout called with 37 seconds left until halftime. A perfectly played coverage by the outside linebacker would see a completion to Douglas instead nearly turn into a gift wrapped interception, the incomplete pass leaving second down. We would keep the drive moving on second down as Barnes was able to connect with Douglas this time around for an 11 yard gain to the 23 yard line. That would be followed up with a perfectly thrown pass over the middle through the heart of the defense and into the hands of Washington for a 20 yard completion, giving us first and goal at the three yard line, our second timeout called with 19 seconds remaining. With only one chance at the end zone, we would try out luck on the ground, but Paris would only be able to fight his way for a two yard gain, leaving us with second and goal from the one yard line, our third and final timeout called with three seconds left. Marcus would easily make the 18 yard field goal with no time left, sending us into halftime with a 13-7 lead.
Opening up the second half, a touchback on the kickoff would give Fresno State the ball at their 25 yard line to start the third quarter. Clark would start things off with an option keeper for a gain of 10 yards and a quick first down. Another keeper by Clark would gain 9 yards, followed by a four yard carry by Williams to get the first down at the 48 yard line. Clark would nearly break free for a touchdown on first down, but a belly flopping ankle tackle by a defensive end would trip Clark up for only a 16 yard gain, still picking up a first down however at our 36 yard line. Clark would keep the ball on first down, only gaining three yards on the play, followed by a blown option that would see Clark tackled for a two yard loss, leaving third and 9 for the Bulldogs. Dropping back to pass on third down, Clark would get lit up while throwing for an incomplete pass to leave fourth and 9. Fresno State would take a shot on fourth down, but Clark would also be as indecisive as Corbett in the middle of a collapsing pocket, ultimately sacked for a 7 yard loss to force the turnover on downs.
Taking over at our own 41 yard line following the turnover on downs, Paris would try to get us off and moving on first down, managing only a two yard gain on the play, However, we would end up going backwards as a holding penalty was called on left tackle Derek Smith on the play, leaving us facing first and 20 from the 31 yard line. Paris would try to pick up some quick yard for us, gaining 5 yards on the carry. Lining up under center on second down, Barnes would connect with tight end Sam Livingston for a 9 yard completion, leaving us with third and 6. Dropping back into the shotgun, Barnes would never get the pass off as he would end up sacked for a 6 yard loss, forcing us to punt on fourth and 12. The booming kick would land at the 10 yard line and bounce into the end zone for a touchback.
Fresno State would start their next drive at their 20 yard line following the touchback, where Vincent would get them off and running with a four yard carry on first down. Clark would make a mistake on second down, pitching the ball instead of keeping it, turning what would have been a 5 yard gain into a gain of only three yards, leaving third and three for the Bulldogs. Clark would make up for his mistake on third down, picking up those three yards and then some with a 10 yard rush straight up the middle, giving Fresno State a first down at the 37 yard line. Another first down rush by Vincent would go for a three yard gain around the left side, followed by a failed second down option that would see Clark lose two yards on the play, forcing third and 9. This time around, the Bulldogs would successfully go into the air, as Clark connected with Jeremy Fleming in the middle of traffic over the middle, good for a 27 yard completion and a first down at our 35 yard line. From there it would be right back to the option game as Clark would keep the ball for a four yard gain, followed by another failed play that would see Clark tackled for a two yard loss, leaving third and 8. The third down pass toward the left corner of the end zone, intended for Terrance Green would be nearly intercepted by the cornerback, forcing Fresno State to again gamble and go for it on fourth down. Our defense would catch a HUGE break on fourth down, as Clark launched a pass into the end zone to a wide open Green, only to see Green fail to catch the ball and instead bobble and drop it, the dropped pass forcing a turnover on downs.
Retaking possession at our 34 yard line following the turnover on downs, Paris would only manage a single yard on first down. Running a play action pass on second down, the defense would fail to pick up the fake, resulting in Long being left wide open near the sideline for a 25 yard completion, giving us a first down at the Fresno State 40 yard line. Paris would finally find more success on the ground with a 7 yard carry on first down, before being dropped for a gain of two yards, leaving us facing third and one. Barnes would try and keep the ball on third down, but he would be trapped in the backfield with nowhere to go, tackled for a loss of two yards to leave fourth and three. With a 5 MPH wind behind us, we would line up for the field goal, the 50 yard kick by Marcus splitting the uprights to give us a 16-7 lead with 43 seconds left in the third quarter.
Another touchback on the kickoff would give Fresno State the ball at their 25 yard line. A first down keeper by Clark would go for a gain of just two yards. He would more than make up for that on second down as he would run another option keeper to the left, this time finding space and racing up the sideline for a huge 57 yard gain before finally being shoved out of bounds at our 16 yard line. Fresno State would fail to get the snap off before the clock ran out, bringing the third quarter to an end, with us very surprisingly holding a 16-7 lead.
Opening up the fourth quarter, Vincent would keep the Bulldogs moving with an 8 yard option rush on first down, followed by a three yard gain on the option pitch to give Fresno State first and goal at our 6 yard line. The Bulldogs would waste no time in ending the drive as our defense would get destroyed by the option keeper, allowing Clark to slowly trot into the end zone for a 6 yard touchdown, cutting our lead to 16-14 with 9:29 left in the game.
Douglas would come through for us with a huge, badly needed 60 yard kickoff return, giving our offense the ball to start at the Fresno State 45 yard line and a great chance to try and put this game away. Paris would get us off and running with an 8 yard gain on the first down play, before being tackled for no gain on the second down carry, leaving us facing third and two. A two yard rush by Paris would get us very near the first down, but we would still be marked short, left facing fourth and inches at the 36 yard line. Looking for any points we could get, despite kicking into a 5 MPH wind, Marcus would nail the 53 yard field goal, giving us a 19-14 lead with 7:59 left in the game.
A touchback on the kickoff would start Fresno State from their 25 yard line. Clark again would get the Bulldogs quickly moving down the field as he would take off on first down with an option keeper, using the sideline and a wall of blockers to rush for a big 36 yard gain and a first down at our 39 yard line. Keeping the ball on first down, this time Clark would be limited to just a two yard gain, followed by a carry of only one yard, leaving the Bulldogs lining up on third and 7. Even after dropping back to pass on third down, Clark would still torch our defense as he would take off scrambling, easily picking up 18 yards before anyone on our defense could bring him down, giving Fresno State a first down at our 18 yard line. Another option keeper by Clark would go for a gain of a 11 yards, setting up Fresno State with first and goal from our 7 yard line. Shockingly, Fresno State would line up showing option, only for Clark to take two steps back from under center and launch a blazingly quick pass over the middle to Green on a slant route, giving Fresno State a 7 yard touchdown. Fresno State would go for the two point conversion, and would get it as Clark would keep the ball on an option run, trotting into the end zone untouched to give the Bulldogs a 22-19 lead with 6:13 left in the game.
A booming kickoff would sail out of the end zone for a touchback, forcing us to start at our 25 yard line. Paris would get the call to start our drive on the ground, but he would only be able to pick up two yards before a reenergized defense would swarm him. Trying to run a play action pass on second down, disaster would strike as the pass intended for Woods would be intercepted by cornerback Daniel Matthews and returned 7 yards, giving Fresno State the ball at our 32 yard line.
Taking over following the interception, Fresno State would come out running as Clark would pitch the ball to Vincent for a 7 yard gain. A second down option keeper by Clark would leave him running for an easy 11 yard gain and a first down at our 14 yard line. Bringing damn near the entire defense, we would finally manage to contain Clark and tackle him for a two yard loss on first down. Fresno State would try and pass on second down, but with bringing half the house on a blitz, Clark would be forced to throw the ball away, leaving the Bulldogs with third and 12. Clark would again drop back to pass on third down, only to end up sacked for a 7 yard loss. Apparently with no viable field goal kicker, the Bulldogs would entirely skip the 39 yard field goal and instead elect to go for it on fourth and 19. That would be a mistake for Fresno State as the pass from Clark, intended for Green, would be intercepted by cornerback Mike Moses near the end zone and returned 21 yards out to our 25 yard line.
Lining up on offense after the interception, this time we would come out passing on first down, as Barnes would line up in the shotgun and fire a pass off to Douglas for a gain of 12 and a quick first down. Another pass to Douglas would be broken up this time on a comeback route, leaving us with second down. The second down pass intended for Tristan Muhammad would likewise end up broken up and incomplete, bringing up third and 10. Throwing up a quick pass to Paris, who had spread out to join the 5 wide, he would pull in the throw from Barnes for a gain of 19 yards to extend our drive at the Fresno State 44 yard line. Lining up under center on first down, Barnes would drop back and sling a pass to fullback Raymond Watson, good for a gain of 10 yards and another first down at the 34 yard line. Returning to the ground on first down, Paris would fight his way to a four yard gain on the play, followed by a 5 yard rush that would leave us with third and one. Silva would get the call on the third down play, barely getting three yards, but enough for a new set of downs at the 22 yard line. Silva would keep at it on first down with a four yard rush, followed by a three yard carry to leave us with third and three. A two yard rush would be all Silva would manage, bringing up fourth and one from the 13 yard line. Settling for a game tying field goal, we would let the play clock run all the way down, calling our first timeout of the half to stop the game clock with four seconds left in the game. Fresno State would then proceed to burn through all three of their timeouts to try and freeze our kicker. After that process was finally over, we lined up on fourth and one with four seconds left. Marcus would coolly boot the football up and straight through the middle of the uprights for a 30 yard field goal, tying the game at 22-22 with two seconds left in the game.
A 14 yard return by Michael Whitaker on a squibbed kickoff would kill the remaining time on the clock, sending us into overtime tied at 22-22.
At the start of overtime, we would win the coin toss and elected to go on defense first. Starting at their 25 yard line, Fresno State would begin on the ground as a handoff to Greer would go for a gain of 6 yards, followed by a two yard rush that would leave third and two. Lining up in the shotgun on third down, Clark would fake the option keeper to draw in our blitzing linebacker, and then dump it at the last second to Vincent, who would proceed to race across the first down line for a gain of 5 yards and a new set of downs at the 12 yard line. Clark would try to keep the ball on first down, only to be tackled for a three yard loss on the play. Greer would get the ball on second down, fighting his way through four different tackles on his way to a 10 yard rush, leaving third and three at the 5 yard line. Despite blitzing nearly the entire defense, Clark would keep the ball, turn up the field around his left tackle and walk into the end zone untouched for a 5 yard touchdown, giving Fresno State a 29-22 lead.
Coming out for our turn on offense, lining up at the 25 yard line, we too would turn to our running game to start the drive as Silva got the ball on first down, fighting his way to a two yard gain. Attempting a play action pass on second down, the toss to Watson would be complete for a four yard gain, leaving us with third and four. Lining up in the shotgun on third down, Barnes would drop back and fire a pass to Allen, only to have it ripped right out of his hands and intercepted by outside linebacker Mark Grant, killing our hopes right there on the spot as Fresno State would escape with a 29-22 overtime victory.
With the loss, we drop to 9-4, 7-2 in Mountain West action. With the win, #3 Fresno State improves to 13-0, 9-0 in Mountain West play and are your 2023 Mountain West champions. Up next, we wait to see what bowl game we will play in and who our opponent will be.

Stats of the Game:
Utah State Offense - A decent day for Barnes, going 15-24 for 216 yards (his highest yardage in ages) for one touchdown, but also two interceptions. Rushing, Paris was held in check as he would get only 137 yards on 35 carries. Silva would gain only 17 yards on 6 rushes. Receiving, Washington would lead in most catches at three, to go along with 39 yards and one touchdown. Long would claim most yards, with 40 yards on two catches. In all, nine different receivers would catch a pass today, eight of them ending the day with double digit receiving yards as the rock was shared around plenty.
Utah State Defense/Special Teams – Another pretty bad performance by the defense. While they were incredible against the pass, allowing just three completions and only 39 yards through the air, that mattered almost nothing as they turned around and gave up a team history worst 398 yards rushing. Clark, who came in as a bloody backup and only played three quarters would end with 201 yards rushin, Corbett, who only played the first quarter, finished with 87, Greer had 68, Vincent had 38 and Williams had four. Clark would rack up his 201 yards on just 25 carries, good for an 8.0 average. Corbett finished with a 7.2 average as he got his 87 yards on 12 rushes. Greer finished with an absurd 13.6 average as his 68 yards came on only 5 carries.
Special team, Douglas was the lone returner today, ending with 117 yards on three kick returns, including a big 60 yard return that would unfortunately end with only a field goal.
Utah State Kicking – It would be another perfect day for Marcus, who even despite kicking into a 5 MPH wind for two quarters, would go 5-5 with field goals of 18, 30, 41, 50 and 53 yards, to go along with a perfect 1-1 on extra points. Those five field goals would also help Marcus break the NCAA record for most field goals made in a season, his 34 field goals this season breaking the previous record of 31 set by Georgia kicker Billy Bennett back in 2003.
