FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Prior to Saturday night's season opener, Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter tweeted, "Had an earthquake here this am to wake us. Apparently, the ground knows the 'Dogs are here!"
A 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit in North-Central Oklahoma and was felt in parts of Nebraska and North Texas. If the dogs could pull off an upset of Nebraska, that would make waves for a program looking to bounce back from last year's 3-9 season.
