FRESNO, Calif. — Josh Hokit accounted for three touchdowns and the Fresno State defence limited Incarnate Word to minus-7 yards rushing on Saturday night to help the Bulldogs beat the Cardinals 66-0 in the season opener for both teams. Hokit, a sophomore running back, had two short rushing touchdowns and hit Jared Rice for a 65-yard score. Emeka Ndoh recovered his own strip-sack of Taylor Laird and, six plays later, a 1-yard touchdown run by Hokit gave Fresno State a 7-0 with 6:51 left in the first quarter. Incarnate Word went three-and-out on each of its next seven possessions and the Bulldogs took a 34-0 lead into halftime. They went three-and-out, had a safety, committed a turnover or had a field-goal blocked on every possession except two — a one-play drive to close the first half and a three-play drive to end the game.
