Norman, Okla. ? From the mountains of Tennessee to California’s San Joaquin Valley and now to central Oklahoma, Fresno State is racking up plenty of frequent flier miles and nearly as many bruises.

Fresno State coach Pat Hill has put together a brutal non-conference tour this season, starting on the road against No. 12 Tennessee and taking on Oregon State at home last week.

The Bulldogs will face top-ranked Oklahoma today.

The Bulldogs’ 16-14 win over Oregon State was “as violent a game as I’ve been part of,” Hill said.

The Sooners will make sure of another rough one.

In OU’s 20-13 win at Alabama last week, the Sooners sacked quarterback Brodie Croyle five times, intercepted him twice and hammered him throughout the game.

As a defense with four players on a preseason list for defender of the year, Oklahoma has stockpiled a bunch of guys yearning to make the big play or big hit — sometimes both at the same time.

“Those guys, they don’t believe in just tackling you,” Croyle said. “They want to bring some pain when they do it.”

That’s usually not a problem for Hill, who lives up to his “play anyone, anywhere” mantra.

But Fresno State (1-1) already is missing quarterback Paul Pinegar, who tore a pectoral muscle in the preseason, and backup Jeff Grady has been playing with a bruised left shoulder and hip.

Defensive end Garrett McIntyre (sprained right knee) and middle linebacker Marc Dailey (MCL sprain of right knee) were added to Fresno State’s injury list after two games.

Those losses have hurt depth and morale of a team starting nine freshmen or sophomores, not including Grady, who’ll be starting only his fifth game and was booed by the home crowd last week.

“It’ll be very interesting to see if these kids can fight the same way we have the past three weeks,” Hill said. “Because I don’t know anyone who faces this kind of schedule three straight weeks.”
