Fresno State produced only 116 yards in a 39-0 loss at USC, and quarterback Jayden Mandal went 7-of-15 for 77 yards with an interception while taking five sacks.

Matt Entz said Mandal sometimes dropped his eyes to the rush and stopped trusting the protection, although the quarterback also made useful checks and several good throws.

Entz is willing to shrink the offensive playbook to improve Mandal's comfort, signaling a potentially more conservative approach when Fresno State hosts Sacramento State next.

Fresno State's defense struggled with eye discipline and communication against USC's RPO passing game, and the staff was reluctant to rely on either zone coverage or isolated matchups against the Trojans' receivers.
