Matt Entz prepares Fresno State football for road game against USC

Fresno State head coach Matt Entz brings his team to the Los Angeles Coliseum this Friday for a non-conference matchup against USC. Ahead of the game, Entz outlined a recruitment strategy focused on player development and the five-year NCAA eligibility model. By positioning Fresno State as a platform for three-year growth, the program aims to attract talent that could later move to major programs in the Big Ten or SEC. The approach follows a season that included 15 freshmen early enrollees, marking a shift in how the Bulldogs manage roster construction. Lincoln Riley leads the Trojans into the Friday contest, which marks the first major test for the Bulldogs under Entz's leadership this season.
