The Broncos enter Saturday’s game on a three-game winning streak following a 28-7 loss at No. 12 Notre Dame.

“Our guys are getting better, and that’s the goal for every team,” Danielson said. “I know that’s the goal for Matt Entz and Fresno State — it’s the goal for everyone in the country — to keep getting better.”

The Bulldogs rank second in the MWC in total defense at 314.4 yards allowed per game, good for No. 26 in the country.

“We’re going to have to be … a great tackling team,” Entz said. “The game of college football is a line of scrimmage game and a quarterback-driven game. To be successful, you better be good up front. We’ve got to challenge our defensive line to continue to play well.”
