Fresno Bounced From BCS Needs To Refocus

It is not meant to be easy. When the BCS expanded by a game to, in part, reward schools from less respected conferences for great seasons they did so to honor those who went the distance. So play great all season but miss late FGs and you go from BCS bowl to some game played the day after Christmas. Fresno is the latest team to fall to a rival late in a close, pressure-packed game that wiped out any hopes for a BCS bowl. But while that would have been a first for the program the main goal all year should have been the conference championship and that will be on the line next week. So shake it off Fresno and focus on the real prize. As for San Jose the outcome helps the team forget what has been an under-achieving season. They may now go bowling but yesterday's game proved that they should be better than 6-6.
