Fresno State's 2018 season was one for the record books with a historic 12-win season, Mountain West Championship and Las Vegas Bowl victory. Now the 2018 season is officially over and BarkBoard.com takes a first look at the Fresno State Bulldogs' 2019 football schedule.

The Bulldogs aim to carryover 2018's momentum with a 2019 season-opener at USC on Aug. 31. In all, next year's schedule features two Power-5 teams and five teams overall that played in bowl games in 2018.

In Fresno State's pursuit of another Mountain West Conference Championship, they will not have to face Boise State in 2019 but will host the Utah State Aggies who finished 11-2 and spent much of the 2018 season in the Top 25.

For Fresno State Head Coach Jeff Tedford to achieve double digits wins for the third time in three seasons, the Bulldogs will need to replace a class of 28 seniors and two juniors leaving to the NFL. On offense, the 'Dogs return only three starters: running back Ronnie Rivers, tight end Jared Rice and tackle Syrus Tuitele.

The 'Dogs return six starters on defense: defensive linemen Mykal Walker, Kwami Jones, Jasad Haynes and Kevin Atkins, along with defensive backs JuJu Hughes and Jaron Bryant. Defensive tackle Keiti Iakopo also returns after starting the final three games.
