It's five games into the season, and the Fresno State football team is undefeated on the road (3-0) and winless at home (0-2).

This unusual situation is rare, but not unique, in Bulldogs history.

The 1967 Bulldogs of second-year coach Darryl Rogers opened the season with three straight home losses: 24-16 to Santa Clara, 30-14 to Idaho and 21-20 to Montana State. They hit the road and won their next two: 31-25 over Cal State-Northridge and 41-14 over Cal Poly.

Fresno State then beat visiting Cal State-Los Angeles 14-3 to snap the trend. The Bulldogs were 3-8 that season.

The 1945 Bulldogs of Alvin "Pix" Pierson also were undefeated on the road and winless at home in their first five games. But this one has an asterisk.

Fresno State won three away games, but the two at home were ties. There was no tiebreaker at the time. The Bulldogs lost on the road in their sixth game, and finished 4-6-2.

When will the 2008 Bulldogs break out of this win-on-the-road, lose-at-home rut? They host Idaho (0-2 Western Athletic Conference, 1-5 overall) on Saturday.
