After Fresno State's 26-10 win at San Jose State, Matt Entz said offensive-line injuries did not substantially change the plan because the replacements had practiced it: Marquise Thorpe-Taylor works at tackle, Ben Baker can enter at center, and Oscar Weigel can shift to guard. This describes the prepared reshuffle, not an injury timetable or permanent lineup.

Entz said Fresno State used Jayden Mandal on late draws and some zone reads against San Jose State's eight-man box and man coverage, with the deep middle defender 15-20 yards away. Vertical routes created space for the quarterback as the tailback run game lacked consistency; this was that game's adjustment, not a promised future rushing workload.

Reviewing Ethan Tierney's interception against San Jose State, Entz said Fresno State executed man-free coverage and induced a deep perimeter isolation throw. He also credited changing the quarterback's pictures and sustained pressure that moved him off his spot. These are the coach's explanations of the defensive execution, not a newly announced coverage system.
