In honor of the Mountain West Conference beginning play this weekend, RFC will have a "double feature" of "RFC Throwback Thursday" this week. In Part 2 of this installment, we turn the clock back to November 20, 1982. That was when the Fresno State University Bulldogs traveled to just outside of Las Vegas to face UNLV. The Bulldogs won a 30-28 thriller to claim the outright Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA)-(later the now-defunct Big West Conference) championship. Fresno State then rallied in the fourth quarter to edge Bowling Green 29-28 to win the California Bowl in their first-ever postseason appearance at the NCAA Division I-A (now FBS) level on December 18. The Bulldogs finished the 1982 season at 11-1 overall, with their only loss coming to then NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) Nevada on October 16.
