For the disenchanted
- Injury: If only FS was playing their #6 RG, instead of their #4, and if their starting RT injury forced him out the whole game, like their LT.

Everything Fresno State coach Matt Entz said after 26-10 win at San Jose State
- 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.
