Marcus McMaryion threw for 284 yards and four touchdowns and Fresno State blew it open before halftime to beat Hawaii 50-20 Saturday night.
Following a power outage that delayed the game roughly 30 minutes not long after the contest started, Fresno State lit it up in the second quarter scoring 23 points en route to a 37-13 halftime lead.
Record-Setting Night for Johnson
Fresno State senior wide receiver KeeSean Johnson matched his season-high with eight receptions and had his fourth 100-yard receiving game of the season, finishing with a team-high 102 yards.
With his final reception of the night, Johnson became the school’s all-time receptions leader with 234. He eclipsed current Green Bay Packer star and former Bulldog Davante Adams (2012-13).

Ronnie Rivers led the Fresno State ground attack with 10 carries for a career-high 125 yards, including a 76-yard romp early in the second quarter.
Just before halftime, Hawaii’s Ryan Meskell attempted a 53-yard yard field goal that fell short as time expired. However, Fresno State’s Jamire Jordan fielded the ball at the goal line and ran it back 100 yards for the 24-point lead.

With the victory, the Bulldogs improved to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the Mountain West Conference. They lead with West Division by one game over San Diego State, which is 3-1 and 6-2 overall.
On Sunday morning, Fresno State vaulted into the No. 20 spot in the Associated Press Poll. In addition, they are ranked No. 23 in the Amway Top 25 Coaches Poll.
