Not as old as the San Jose State vs. Nevada rivalry, but a good rivalry and still plenty old and storied, with the first game dating back to October 9, 1926, a 26-7 Wolf Pack victory. They have also met much more consistantly, playing thirty-nine times overall, with the longest break coming between 1955 and 1982 (27 years).
Fresno State has the advantage with a commanding 24-14-1 overall record. Chris Ault is 4-4 against the Bulldogs for his career, and 2-3 since his return in 2004.
