What a performance by Fresno State QB Jake Haener!! He appeared to be in excruciating pain throughout the fourth quarter, but still led two insanely clutch TD drives!
What haener did tonight was easily the gutsiest and most inspiring display of leadership you're gonna see on a football field all season. Nothing but respect for him. That's one tough SOB
Definitely. But you want to see something crazy watch a video when Byron leftwich literally was carried by his offensive lineman when he was QB at marshall and finished the game on one leg. Or when Donovan McNabb threw 4 touchdowns in a win on a broken foot for 3 quarters of the game.
@@gvw.10 There's many guys you can gather if we want to look at history...but like TD Petersen said, that was as gutsy a performance as you're gonna see from the QB position on any level. The kid was putting balls on the money all night and when they needed it most, injury or not, he made it happen
shcdmit playing with a torn acl for boston redsocks in postseason. kobe playing with a torn acl as well in playoffs. games like that put you in a category that you achieve with heart alone. the body can take pain.
@Crying OfficerTatum pac 12 is trash besides oregon with only 3 weeks played there is only one undefeated team, and thats the other pac 12 losing to smaller schools too
@Crying OfficerTatum I'm in Atlanta so I have a Southeastern bias. But I like watching Pac-12 football. Too bad the conference and DirecTV can't figure it out.
This was one of the best QB performances I've ever seen, Jake Haener is an absolute beast. Not only staying in after taking a horrific hit which obviously injured him, but also delivering accurate down field throws plus two TDs in crunch time. That is an NFL level performance if I've ever seen one, what a fantastic player!
Craziest game I’ve ever been to. Even as a Bruin fan I can’t help but have an appreciation for just being able to experience this game in person. Hats off to Fresno State. They deserved to win this game. Hope Haener’s able to stay healthy, and hope the Bruins can improve throughout this season.
It has such a shock factor too. Fresno State is one of those colleges that has a good run every 5-10 years that gets them back in the mix and Haener has a chance to take them far. Very great game from Fresno State and put them on the radar for me for the rest of the season.
All the Bruins fans we encountered were pure class acts. Great to go to an historic venue as a fan of a double digit underdog and be treated with respect. I hope the Bruins win out. Like the '94 Colorado Buffs. Lost to FSU; won 11 including the Fiesta Bowl.
That kid is legit clutching his side in pain after every throw. They are legit NFL qbs who sat out for ingrown toenail. Kid is Legit bad ass and just made a fan.
Haener really said “I’ll feel the pain tomorrow but tonight I make a name for myself”. Love to see a performance like this. Star making performance imo a
He was a dawg. Just ask UW - they’re trying their hardest to forget Edit: no shade at the current players/personnel, they’ve got their own legacies ahead of them. Shame that a team that returns so many starters didn’t retain the QB that could have optimized that timeline. Cue hindsight quote
Man you really love a good 00s bandwagon, don't you? Lakers, Pats, shit even the Angels won their only WS in the early 00s and I guess UCLA weren't great, but 05 was still a decent year
@@sergeant_salty True! Huskies might be turning things around. But I think they’d really have something special right now if Haener was at the helm. No disrespect to Morris tho
No career if he injured himself while playing in this game Hope it’s nothing serious He needs the rest and get fully healthy before playing again. Head coach needs to save his players career
As a BAMA fan, wow that was a awesome finish, gotta commend Haener, that's a heart of a champion, congrats to Fresno State almost beating Oregon and took down a really good UCLA team
@@pschighlights I just wish some combination of the notre dame and texas A&M last week, cincy and clemson this week, and Oklahoma week one and this week had been upsets. Lots to ask for I know but any combination of those would’ve been sweet
I hope everyone realizes this win was years in the making. Fresno State has never shyed away from playing talented teams. While other schools non-conference games are played against D1 AA and D2 teams Fresno is playing against Power 5 opponents. In recent years they've played Oregon, USC, Minnesota, Washington, Alabama, and now UCLA. The first step for a small school to upset a team like UCLA is to schedule it. And most teams won't because they're scared it'll look bad on their record. I hope someone makes a deep dive into Fresno States 2016-2021 seasons because from an outsiders prespective it's been amazing to watch.
It doesn't sound like your an outsider. Hahahaha it sounds like your part of the bandwagon guy. Also they get killed every game by some of those teams you mentioned so it's probably better off to not mention a guaranteed loss. Also some of the other teams you mentioned aren't even top tier or top ranked schools some of them barely make a ranking at all which would be 25. Also let's not forget why they are scheduling schools like UCLA it had nothing to do with them thinking they can win or even compete.... It is all about the Benjamin's.... Period... They got paid to go play UCLA just like they get paid to go lose to some of the other teams you mentioned. Without them getting paid to lose to teams like that they probably wouldn't even have a football program and if they did what a difference it would be. It would probably look like a highschool team if they didn't get paid to lose to bigger teams. But let's not pretend that Fresno state is courageous for scheduling a game they need to get paid for to keep their program healthy and alive... I honestly thought the refs were going to mess up the ending of this game but I'm glad Fresno shut the door on the refs and didn't give them a chance to give the game to UCLA... Also when players play hurt it's amazing to see people reaction... I mean think back to rg3 everyone was amazed with his running and everyone wanted to see it. He got hurt mid game and stayed in trying to get a win and we'll he wanted it all for his team. But his coach decided he was going to play him no matter what because rg3 said he could. Then we all know what happened. No more rg3 and everyone blamed the coach for playing an injured player...lol then look at this game haener plays hurt and continues to go back out there and can't even get up on his own and had to be helped up and off the field the possession before the last one. Yet he went back out there and everyone is saying omg he won.... Lol He just took the same stupid risk that rg3s coach took and everyone hates him for because he took away the next possible Micheal Vick. I just think it's funny that as long as he is not permanently injured and can come back and be close to the same we will love the decision but if it's like rg3 then we hate it and the coach that made it.... Lol they are both the same decision to decide to play hurt or play your player hurt.....
@@beefcake992 Damn, dude, that is a long-winded wall of text that doesn't even address why Fresno State is 3-1. They are in the Mountain West conference, so I'm doubting they were paid to lose (but if you can provide a link showing that, I'd be happy to read it). Your rant still doesn't explain how they played Oregon 24-31. Just a little research shows they were 12-2 in 2018 and 10-4 in 2019. Since joining the Mountain West in 2012, they're 62-52 (that includes an atrocious 1-11 year). Hardly a pushover school.
I guess beefcake doesn’t realize that this was Fresno State’s 4th win in a row over UCLA. Maybe it’s UCLA that is only playing for a Payday, knowing they cant win
Clemson fan here, and I am so glad that I stayed up late to watch this one! That was one of the gutsiest performances I've seen in a long time. Fresno State looks hot with this kid rolling. I hope he is okay. Clemson doesn't want any part of that team right now I can tell you that and I can think of a lot of other teams that dont either
and everyone beats LSU these days....so, all things in perspective i guess. But certainly don't be ashamed, you haven't beat Fresno St the last 4 contests, so this was no upset, nor is it a bad loss to an inferior team. UCLA will be fine this season
As a Fresno State fan, that game took 3 years off my life. Total game control domination by their off offense first 3 qtrs, then started fumbling and had to answer twice in the 4th. Gutsy.
We deserved that win after all the close but no win games At top 25 teams over the years. Texas Am in 07 Wisconsin in 09 numerous games at Oregon and of course SC in 05.
When the Ducks struggled against Fresno I really thought it was mostly just the Ducks sucking it up and was really disappointed... now I realize that Fresno is THAT GOOD! Wow! That QB is amazing and playing injured like that said so much about him!!
I love the Ducks but Fresno State gave us an even closer game in 2002. Every once in a while Fresno takes it to the big boys. I remember them going toe to toe against the stacked USC team in 2005 and barely losing as well in a shootout.
@@erik1979 I think its more on Fresno being really good. UCLA still looked very good as well. They have a nice team this year. Fresno just wanted so much there at the end. They weren't going to be denied
I mean, UCLA’s probably gonna be the leader of the pac 12 south no doubt about it. Fresno is not a top 20 team at all, though. Put them against a power 5 team, other than the teams in the pac 12, and it’ll be a 20+ point margin
bro we're better now, we never beat any ranked teams that year, and got our ass kicked to #25 ranked usc, this might go down as the best Fresno state team ever
@@TheHaloRed That’s conference play for you🤷🏽♂️ Oregon and Florida are perfect examples of that this week. Plus traveling to Hawaii to play a game is tough. I bet the Dogs win out
@@TheHaloRed They took a BEATING against Hawaii. Haener was under pressure all night; kinda 'splains the two picks and one fumble. That KILLED the 'Dogs, as the Rainbows got 17 points off those turnovers. Nothing but good ol' fashioned "smashmouth" football, wherein Hawaii had it over Fresno State.
Jake Haener is an absolute boss. The pain was clear, but he was playing through it for his team. He turned me into a fan. I hope that he continues to do big things in the future!
Now he's on my Saints and gets to sit behind Derek Carr who also went to Fresno State. Haener also said he grew up a Saints fan and admired Drew Brees. Happy for him. He's living the dream rn
Jake Haener has guts and desire and mental toughness. He fought through injury and pain and made it happen. EPIC performance. Haener has the intangible thing that makes a player a winner. Hope he gets to the NFL.
I came away impressed with the Bulldogs when they almost beat my Minnesota Gophers in 2019. If not for an absolutely amazing game saving interception by the Gophers 1st Team All-American Antoine Winfield they would have. But this Bulldog game over UCLA is even more amazing. Congratulations! You’ve earned it!
Some of those throws were just incredible. Wow! The MWC has done it again. Going to be a very interesting year once conference play starts. Lots of good teams in the MW. SDSU Boise tough loss tonight but they’ll rebound. USU, keep an eye on Wyoming and Air Force is always tough.
Taking the hit the way Fresno State QB took, and staying in the game to help the Bulldogs upset #13 UCLA that took a lot of guts and determination to pull off this feat Great Job!
@@raider1o295 i mean, dont thinks thats really true. Oregon found a few plays they could use on Ohio State and they kept exploiting them that way. The blocking was also really effective in columbus
Suddenly my Ducks’ win against this team looks really good. If Jake Haener gets healthy and plays the rest of the year like he’s played thus far I would argue that he deserves a Heisman nomination. Incredible poise, and the ability to elevate the players around him.
It was on my bucket list to see my Bulldogs play at the Rose Bowl and thank God I did! I'm gonna have chills from this game for a long time! Red Wave FOREVER!!
As I look across the college football landscape the small schools that use to get blown out by bigger schools are closing the gap and more of the small schools are winning
Shout out to that Fresno state qb and to those recievers for playing very smart by making sure they got the first down, getting the most yards they could, then stepping out of bounds. Very smart plays.
anyone else here remember back in the mid 2000's when Fresno beating pac-10 (wasn't 12 at that time) teams was just a normal thing? and a lot of people felt they deserved to be in the conference. they were one of the original giant killers. the rise of boise kinda stole their thunder and they faded for a while, but i hope they're back to being really good every season. i've always liked them.
Well yes but then again people don’t really appreciate that there were good teams in the WAC and MWC, and then you had just god tier teams winning their conference. To date Utah nor TCU has played tougher schedules at any point than when they played in the MWC..... 2008 BYU played 4 Top 10 teams in a G5 conference..... no wonder they wanted to gtfo out of there.
@@progshark he's 6'1.. Kyler Murray is 5'10, Baker Mayfield is 6'1 and were 1st picks.. Height doesn't even matter anymore for QBs as long as they can ball out.
@@progshark his arm talent will not limit him to anything. The ball placement and his guts are crazy. If your a head coach in the NFL, you want someone like that leading your team.
So satisfying to see Fresno State beat UCLA. I knew this would happen especially seeing the Bruin players riding their Lyft electric scooters to football practice everyday, you know who you are. Go DOGS!!!
Can we acknowledge now that Fresno St is legit AF? Gave a national championship contender a run for their money and almost just beat the same team that beat LSU…
The fact that he fought through what looked to be tremendous pain and still helped lead his team to a W speaks to how tough he is and how much character he has. Mad respect from Clemson fan
I agree. Tbh though I can't blame them. Last year was such a mess, it really wasn't clear coming into this season where alot of teams stand. (besides the top 5)
The Carr bros would be proud of that gutsy performance! They had a legit shot of beating Oregon as well, but if Cincinnati and Coastal both lose a game...Fresno St could make a NY6 bowl for G5
Wow what a game Fresno state this year is lookin good. Put up a tough game against Oregon then beating #13 ucla. Fresno st pass offense is like watching 7 on 7 tag football. Great job by the quarterback and even to play after being in pain.
@@natecruz7114 On the Facebook Washington Husky fan page, no one was sad when he transferred to Fresno. Most was happy he left and said he was complete trash. After last night's game, I wonder what people in that group going to say. BTW Jake Haener's mom is,was very, very hot. I remember her as a reporter and anchor at a local eastern Washington TV station 31-32 years ago.
So proud of THE FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS. Central valley stand the fuck up!!! FRESNO STATE been slept on for years. Much love from the 209! BETTER RECOGNIZE
Fresno State has talent but at times the talent is not recognized. Derek Carr got his recognition and is playing for the Raiders. We'll see how Jake Haener does later on.
@@pvtmikeyjr1963 wrong. Listen again at 3:35 “Haener… going to the end zone.” He def was saying it like he was throwing for a TD on that play, but good attempt at being a stickler.
These highlights were so strange to watch!! The tackles (when they occurred) were very strange hits, receivers were wide open left and right, and then you have the quarterback whose going down after every perfect throw.. wth this game was weird. Congrats to Fresno state!
It was a blatant PI though so should have been UCLA ball at the 2. Really the refs screwed up by not calling that in the first place, but yeah it was incomplete
@@phillipadler4313 That's only in the pros. College is a 15 yard penalty unless line of scrimmage inside the 17. Then it goes to the 2. End zone PI does not get the automatic 2 yard line spot like pro.
Philip Adler, No it’s a 15 yard penalty in college. Big difference between 15 yards and 7 points. Pac12, the only conference guaranteed to only use PAC12 Alumni.
I wouldn't feel too bad lol! Fresno state would beat a ton of teams right now the way they play. I don't think any team in College Football would simply roll over these guys
Now that’s a QB with some heart and drive! Didn’t care that he was hurting, he only cared about delivering a W for his team! Awesome job! Reminds me of back in 2013 WVU vs #11 Ok State. Clint Trickett had to come out of the game because he couldn’t even throw and then stepped right back in to make a couple of really big throws to secure the win for WVU.
There really isn't a team that just stands out this year, even Alabama looks vulnerable. Both Clemson and Ohio State already have losses, it could be an interesting season. This weekend had some great close games all over the nation.
What a performance by Fresno State QB Jake Haener!! He appeared to be in excruciating pain throughout the fourth quarter, but still led two insanely clutch TD drives!
And yet NFL General Managers will draft Spencer Ratshit and other overrated scrubs over Jake Haener. He will be a 4-7 round gem
@@BibicialCN Fax I have never seen a more overrated qb than rattler in my entire life
Can’t stand Rattler. Carson Strong and Jake Haener are way more talented in my opinion. But Rattler will still probably go top ten.
Another loss snatched from the jaws of victory for UCLA. Their defensive backs got torched in those last 2 drives by Fresno State.
@@BibicialCN As long as you get drafted you make more money in that one year than most of the nondrafted players make in 10 years.

@@erik1979 I think its more on Fresno being really good. UCLA still looked very good as well. They have a nice team this year. Fresno just wanted so much there at the end. They weren't going to be denied
I mean, UCLA’s probably gonna be the leader of the pac 12 south no doubt about it. Fresno is not a top 20 team at all, though. Put them against a power 5 team, other than the teams in the pac 12, and it’ll be a 20+ point margin
Reminds me of Byron Leftwich playing on one leg as his linemen literally carried him between plays. All guts
Damn hell yeah how I forget about that game lol
He and his teammates got ridiculed for that by other analyst and I understand why. But it was still pretty cool to watch.
Oh yeaaaa...
Haener is an absolute soldier. He's hurting he's tired he's bleeding and goes out there and throws absolute dimes on the money!
Fresno st needs to be ranked at least 20th in the nation and there QB can play in the NFL that kid is a gamer.
Top 15 team imo
There's no respect for MW teams they will be 25 and ucla 23 .. just watch - zero respect
Haener hobbling around like a 100 year old WW2 Vet, and still throwing darts.
So happy last time I was this excited Derek Carr and Davante Adams were still playing for us
Thinking back, it’s crazy that a Group of 5 team was able to land that QB/WR duo.
@@pschighlights For real
2018 ring a bell? That win over Boise in the snow
@@bulldogsbob You're right! Revenge for the game earlier that same year, honestly most of my memories from that game was Boise rushing the damn ball.
bro we're better now, we never beat any ranked teams that year, and got our ass kicked to #25 ranked usc, this might go down as the best Fresno state team ever
Everyone thought Oregon played bad against Fresno State in game one. Fresno State is probably a lot better than we all thought.
From someone that was at that Fresno Oregon game, Fresno looked like the better football team Oregon just executed on Fresno’s mistakes
Fresno State has regularly scheduled games against PAC-12 opponents and is WINNING them more often!
Fresno State barely beat UNLV and lost to Hawaii, lol.
@@TheHaloRed That’s conference play for you🤷🏽♂️ Oregon and Florida are perfect examples of that this week. Plus traveling to Hawaii to play a game is tough. I bet the Dogs win out
@@TheHaloRed They took a BEATING against Hawaii. Haener was under pressure all night; kinda 'splains the two picks and one fumble. That KILLED the 'Dogs, as the Rainbows got 17 points off those turnovers. Nothing but good ol' fashioned "smashmouth" football, wherein Hawaii had it over Fresno State.
I cried when he fell on the field you really can feel his passion and pain.They beat UCLA
Haener had a a spectacular game, but Cropper is a stud too. UCLA had absolutely no answer for #5 all night long, and especially on that last drive.
Best game I've seen in a long time! Almost had me in tears! Go Dogs!!
Jake Haener is an absolute boss. The pain was clear, but he was playing through it for his team. He turned me into a fan. I hope that he continues to do big things in the future!
WHAT an American hero JAKE HAENER! Uplifting story during troubling times.
The Big 12 should add Fresno State. They deserve to be in a Power 5 conference.
Jake Haener is an absolute warrior. I could see him having a future in the NFL.
He def has the arm strength
Now he's on my Saints and gets to sit behind Derek Carr who also went to Fresno State. Haener also said he grew up a Saints fan and admired Drew Brees. Happy for him. He's living the dream rn
Jake Haener has guts and desire and mental toughness. He fought through injury and pain and made it happen. EPIC performance. Haener has the intangible thing that makes a player a winner. Hope he gets to the NFL.
Jake Haener is a 🐐 led his team to a game winning TD drive while injured.
In 40 seconds and less than a minute to play.
And we literally let the guy walk. Bruh.
As a bruins fan This was a very hard video to watch but I have a lot of respect for Fresno state
I came away impressed with the Bulldogs when they almost beat my Minnesota Gophers in 2019. If not for an absolutely amazing game saving interception by the Gophers 1st Team All-American Antoine Winfield they would have.
But this Bulldog game over UCLA is even more amazing. Congratulations! You’ve earned it!
That Minnesota game was epic. I was there & we couldn’t believe it the crowd was in shock ! & now Winfield Jr has a super bowl ring
WOW - does Haener have HEART or what ?!?!?! He was DEFINITELY in serious pain and yet fought on to win...cool to watch !!
Haener showed the between contender and pretender.
The team really showed honor and hearts as their quarterback lead the way.
This should be required viewing. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this.
Some of those throws were just incredible. Wow! The MWC has done it again. Going to be a very interesting year once conference play starts. Lots of good teams in the MW. SDSU Boise tough loss tonight but they’ll rebound. USU, keep an eye on Wyoming and Air Force is always tough.
Taking the hit the way Fresno State QB took, and staying in the game to help the Bulldogs upset #13 UCLA that took a lot of guts and determination to pull off this feat Great Job!
A gutty performance by Fresno State’s quarterback. UCLA’s defense on the short side of field was horrific.
Coaching. Jumping offsides twice on 4th down, got some home town calls too.
Definition of heart right there. He will be in the league with a showing like that.
Jake fought through that. What a game!
Love these times when Fresno St is great. Hopefully we run the table, win the MW and are in a big bowl game.
I don’t feel so bad for how close they kept up against Oregon. Fresno is for real. Hope that qb gets better! Go ducks
Yup, I’m a huge Oregon fan and this made us look a lot better. So much respect for the bulldogs
You duckies are lucky! They would beat u if they played u again.
We used the handicap playbook against FRESNO ST.
WE opened it up against Ohio. Ducks would decimate
@@raider1o295 Oh shut it... No one wants to hear that...
@@raider1o295 i mean, dont thinks thats really true. Oregon found a few plays they could use on Ohio State and they kept exploiting them that way. The blocking was also really effective in columbus
Suddenly my Ducks’ win against this team looks really good. If Jake Haener gets healthy and plays the rest of the year like he’s played thus far I would argue that he deserves a Heisman nomination. Incredible poise, and the ability to elevate the players around him.
This is what makes college football great!!! Not the conference but the fight inside the dawg!!!
It was on my bucket list to see my Bulldogs play at the Rose Bowl and thank God I did! I'm gonna have chills from this game for a long time!
Red Wave FOREVER!!
Haener here reminds me of Fields against Clemson last year. Playing through the pain just for their team
Had the exact same thought. Both are tremendously tough football players
Isn’t this why we LOVE college football? What a gutsy comeback by Fresno’s injured QB! Man!
I agree, this is why watch college kids ball out Saturdays.
As I look across the college football landscape the small schools that use to get blown out by bigger schools are closing the gap and more of the small schools are winning
Shout out to that Fresno state qb and to those recievers for playing very smart by making sure they got the first down, getting the most yards they could, then stepping out of bounds. Very smart plays.
Congrats to Fresno State! Good to see QB Haener give a little "old school" touch playing through the pain! Hope he heals quick!
My gawd those boys were ballin! Big props to the Coaching Staff, Haener and Fresno State players
anyone else here remember back in the mid 2000's when Fresno beating pac-10 (wasn't 12 at that time) teams was just a normal thing? and a lot of people felt they deserved to be in the conference. they were one of the original giant killers. the rise of boise kinda stole their thunder and they faded for a while, but i hope they're back to being really good every season. i've always liked them.
Well yes but then again people don’t really appreciate that there were good teams in the WAC and MWC, and then you had just god tier teams winning their conference.
To date Utah nor TCU has played tougher schedules at any point than when they played in the MWC.....
2008 BYU played 4 Top 10 teams in a G5 conference..... no wonder they wanted to gtfo out of there.
That is pure guts and determination by that Fresno St QB
Heaner will be in the NFL one day. That's first round worthy performance.
His size will probably limit him to 3rd or 4th round. And that's if he continues to show the balls he did tonight.
@@progshark he's 6'1..
Kyler Murray is 5'10, Baker Mayfield is 6'1 and were 1st picks.. Height doesn't even matter anymore for QBs as long as they can ball out.
@@progshark his arm talent will not limit him to anything. The ball placement and his guts are crazy. If your a head coach in the NFL, you want someone like that leading your team.
@@ave0828 kyler Murray also can run with the best of them and Baker was a heisman winner well they both were
@@ave0828 if you got two similar guys playing but ones 6’5 and the other one is 5’8 who you drafting ?
That Fresno qb earned everyone's respect tonight. What a tough kid. Great game!
So satisfying to see Fresno State beat UCLA. I knew this would happen especially seeing the Bruin players riding their Lyft electric scooters to football practice everyday, you know who you are. Go DOGS!!!
We have now beaten UCLA 4 stright times.
So this isnt new
@@bulldogsbob Exactly lol just because they are ranked doesnt mean it isnt UCLA. The dogs have their number.
Early nominee for College Football game of the year......Living on the east coast I'm glad I stayed up to 230AM to watch this
Fresno State is no joke! This team is for real.
I'd love to have a QB like Jake Haener on my team. Showed some real grit. Great win, Fresno.
Can we acknowledge now that Fresno St is legit AF? Gave a national championship contender a run for their money and almost just beat the same team that beat LSU…
Wow ! What a game for Bulldogs n Mountain West !
One classic game. That qb was on fire even while hurt
The fact that he fought through what looked to be tremendous pain and still helped lead his team to a W speaks to how tough he is and how much character he has. Mad respect from Clemson fan
If the 2021 season has taught us anything so far it's this: whoever puts these preseason rankings together doesn't know what they are doing.
I agree. Tbh though I can't blame them. Last year was such a mess, it really wasn't clear coming into this season where alot of teams stand.
(besides the top 5)
Yoooooo!!! Haener you just gained a new fan 💪🏾💯 That was incredible.
Amazing ending. That qb is legit
The Carr bros would be proud of that gutsy performance! They had a legit shot of beating Oregon as well, but if Cincinnati and Coastal both lose a game...Fresno St could make a NY6 bowl for G5
Haener and Cropper were incredible in this contest.
..yeah,kinda reminds you of Derek Carr and Devante Adams huh?
Wow what a game Fresno state this year is lookin good. Put up a tough game against Oregon then beating #13 ucla. Fresno st pass offense is like watching 7 on 7 tag football. Great job by the quarterback and even to play after being in pain.
Jake Haener doing this in a bigger school like Alabama, Clemson or Georgia is the front runner for heisman….
lol!! SocTRUE....COLLEGE FOOTBALLBOS FAKE AS PHUCK!!
He was at the University of Washington. But he was getting passed over so he transferred to Fresno.
@@danw2112 and do you see why Washington is trash?
@@danw2112 Yeah and look at how crap we are.
@@natecruz7114 On the Facebook Washington Husky fan page, no one was sad when he transferred to Fresno. Most was happy he left and said he was complete trash. After last night's game, I wonder what people in that group going to say.
BTW Jake Haener's mom is,was very, very hot. I remember her as a reporter and anchor at a local eastern Washington TV station 31-32 years ago.
They should have added the play that injured Haener… it was brutal
So proud of THE FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS. Central valley stand the fuck up!!! FRESNO STATE been slept on for years. Much love from the 209! BETTER RECOGNIZE
The Central Valley is tough now. So Cal is soft as Charmin now.
Fresno State has talent but at times the talent is not recognized. Derek Carr got his recognition and is playing for the Raiders. We'll see how Jake Haener does later on.
A Game for ALL-TIME for sure...wow ! Wonder what Fresno States QB injury turned out to be?...What a gamer; tuff ombre.
Announcer: “Pass thrown to the end zone!”
*Pass complete at the 15 yard line*
Toward the end zone not to the end zone but the pass was completed in the red zone which is important.
@@pvtmikeyjr1963 wrong. Listen again at 3:35 “Haener… going to the end zone.” He def was saying it like he was throwing for a TD on that play, but good attempt at being a stickler.
@@the_stewbear - I guessed I missed that part or I am deaf.
This game made me go watch Fresno vs Oregon highlights again
UCLA even in this loss is a decent team. But these Bulldogs never gave up. Great win for often overlooked Fresno State
These highlights were so strange to watch!! The tackles (when they occurred) were very strange hits, receivers were wide open left and right, and then you have the quarterback whose going down after every perfect throw.. wth this game was weird. Congrats to Fresno state!
Pac12 officials spotted UCLA 7 points with that TD pass over the top. Ball clearly moved. I thought that was gonna do it for state.
Seen that
It was a blatant PI though so should have been UCLA ball at the 2. Really the refs screwed up by not calling that in the first place, but yeah it was incomplete
@@phillipadler4313 That's only in the pros. College is a 15 yard penalty unless line of scrimmage inside the 17. Then it goes to the 2. End zone PI does not get the automatic 2 yard line spot like pro.
Philip Adler, No it’s a 15 yard penalty in college. Big difference between 15 yards and 7 points. Pac12, the only conference guaranteed to only use PAC12 Alumni.
That's some of the best football I have seen in along time. Mad props to Jake Haener for staying in that game, you could tell he was hurting.
The fact Fresno St beat UCLA with a one legged qb makes my lsu tigers look even worse. Fresno St blocked better than lsu o line
I wouldn't feel too bad lol! Fresno state would beat a ton of teams right now the way they play. I don't think any team in College Football would simply roll over these guys
And Heaner will be an NFL QB as well 👍
It's okay just beat Bama to make Fresno look better
Game of the year honorable mention for sure
Fresno State is for real. What a game and finish in the last seconds 😂
Who let the dogs 🐶 out
Bro Haener is a beast. Dude should be the new Heisman logo.
PAC-12...The Conference of....teams
Now that’s a QB with some heart and drive! Didn’t care that he was hurting, he only cared about delivering a W for his team! Awesome job!
Reminds me of back in 2013 WVU vs #11 Ok State. Clint Trickett had to come out of the game because he couldn’t even throw and then stepped right back in to make a couple of really big throws to secure the win for WVU.
There really isn't a team that just stands out this year, even Alabama looks vulnerable. Both Clemson and Ohio State already have losses, it could be an interesting season. This weekend had some great close games all over the nation.
I'm wondering if Georgia is finally ready?
Still watch this to this day
