Fresno State kicker Kevin Goessling hit a 35-yard FG to give the Bulldogs the win.

It was his 14th make in 15 tries this season and he "doesn't give a crap" about the mistakes he made last year.

Make sure you pick up The Bee on Sunday to see the rest of the story.

Fresno State and Louisiana Tech have played to a 21-21 tie here inside Bulldog Stadium.

The Bulldogs have forced two fumbles, and ran one back for a touchdown.

LB Shawn Plummer hit Tech RB Daniel Porter in the backfield and LB Ben Jacobs stripped the ball and ran it back for a 21-yard touchdown.

Tech TE Dennis Morris has led the way for the "other" Bulldogs. He has six catches for a career-high 127 yards and three touchdowns. He's the first Tech WR to catch three touchdown passes since James Jordan did it against USC in Nov. 1999.

FS QB Ryan Colburn is 9 of 20 with a 23-yard TD to Seyi Ajirotutu. RB Lonyae Miller has led the Bulldogs in rushing. With Ryan Mathews out with a concussion, he has 45 yards and one score on seven carries. Robbie Rouse has added 33 yards on seven carries.

Senior running back Anthony Harding left the field on a cart with 2 minutes left in the second quarter after appearing to injure his right leg. That's not the way to spend senior day.

This has to have been a tough year for Harding. He led the team in rushing last season with more than 800 yards. But he's been limited in playing time this season because of running back Ryan Mathews' success. Harding has only 30 yards rushing this season.

Mathews -- who is out with a concussion for this game -- appeared to leave on the cart with him. Nice sign of support.

Ryan Mathews may be out for today's game, but 16 players in Tech's 2-deep roster have been out for at least a half because of injury this season.

The injuries have restricted Tech's playbook and formations and caused the Bulldogs to burn redshirts in the second half of the season. One of the key losses has been that of All-WAC safety Antonio Baker, but a number of other key players have been slowed as well.

Daniel Porter and Phil Livas -- two of Tech's best playmakers -- are expected to play today, but the number of snaps they'll receive is still up in the air.

Fresno State is 6-4 heading into today's game, the home finale against Louisiana Tech, and a contract extension still has not been announced for coach Pat Hill.

Hill's current contract ends in Dec. 2010 and rumors have risen that the Bulldogs' 13-year coach might be up for the UNLV job.

Hill deflected questions about the UNLV job earlier this week, saying he wanted to talk about things that were "relevant to Fresno State," like today's senior day.

If the Bulldogs can rally around their coach for a win today and Dec. 5 at Illinois, does he get an extension? Does he need a bowl win as well to go 9-4? What do you think?

This is easy to say after the fact, but Redwood, at No. 10, was underseeded in Division II. The Rangers hammered No. 7 Hoover 28-0 in Fresno. The seeding was a slap to the West Yosemite League, where Redwood placed second at 5-1. Hoover tied for fourth in the County/Metro Athletic Conference at 2-3. But here's the key: Redwood's five losses this season have come to teams with a combined 43-9 record -- Buchanan (10-0), Tulare (10-0), El Diamante (9-1), Centennial (7-4) and Atascadero (7-4). The Rangers will play at No. 2 El Diamante Friday.

** No. 8 Sanger rolls up No. 9 West 20-3, setting up a D-II challenge at No. 1 Tulare. The burning question: Are there two outs in the ninth for Apaches coach Chuck Shidan? He's in his 20th year, and he could go another 20. He's untouchable. This is his call, and I suspect he's going to call it quits -- a huge loss for Sanger, the community and all of us in the Valley associated with high school football.

** No. 4 Memorial was overpowering against No. 13 Mt. Whitney in the 47-7 D-II scrimmage. What a quarterfinal final beauty at home against No. 5 Edison.

Well, an impressive display of offensive prowess that was not.

No. 10 seed Redwood leads No. 7 Hoover 7-0 at halftime of this Central Section Division 2 football playoff game at McLane Stadium, but it wasn't because of the Rangers' offense.

Redwood defensive back Matt Ramos stepped in front of a Shane Martinez pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown with 8:41 remaining in the second quarter for the game's only score.

When the dog runs off beforehand, you know it's probably a bad idea.

I do not follow many rules in life -- don't make the last out at third base, don't sit in the shade at Wrigley in April, don't date redheads on the rebound -- but I'm adding one to the list. If a dog doesn't want to be involved in something, it's probably not something you should be doing.

Sophomore Chris Brown rushed for 178 yards and Christian Garcia added 132 as Memorial totaled 422 yards on the ground and pummeled Mt. Whitney 47-7.

9:17 p.m: Let's play the comparitive score game in D-II. Memorial, which has rushed for nearly 400 yards, is leading Mt. Whitney 40-7. The Pioneers lost 69-33 to D-II top seed Tulare two months ago.

7:50 p.m: Key numbers in a 28-0 Memorial laugher -- The Panthers have two 99-yard touchdown drives and Mt. Whitey quarterback Tanner Mendonca, the section's leading passer with 3,016 yards, is 12 of 24 for 106 yards and two interceptions. And Jordan Stallworth returned one of them 39 yards for a score.

7:40 p.m: The rain has stopped, but Memorial has just started. The Panthers lead 21-0 early in the second quarter as sophomore sensation Chris Brown has carried seven times for 108 yards and a touchdown.

A big reason Central Section commissioner Jim Crichlow's reserve fund in Porterville is fat is because of dry weather in the football playoffs for the past three years.

Two of the Central Section's most veteran football coaches -- John Yavasile and Pat Plummer -- are set to match wits tonight as 10th-seeded Redwood faces No. 7 Hoover at McLane High in a Division II playoff game.

And both are closing in on the end of their careers at this point.

Yavasile told The Bee in September that he plans to coach at least through next season, and then reevaluate his plans. Yavasile said he would retire from teaching after the 2010-11 school year.

And word here in the press box says Plummer wil go two more seasons.
