E.J. WARNER NEWS

Efficient in finale Warner was 15-for-20 passing for 138 yards, a touchdown and an interception during Saturday's 41-14 win versus San Jose State. He also had six rushes for 21 yards.

Impact While Warner did turn the ball over twice Saturday, the Bulldogs would ride a strong defensive effort to a convincing victory. It's been an up-and-down season overall for the senior, who's started back-to-back games after he was benched in Fresno State's previous three contests in favor of Carson Conklin. Overall, Warner's completed 69.4 percent of his passes for 1,811 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He'll likely be under center again in the Bulldogs' upcoming bowl matchup.

Starting regular-season finale Warner will start Saturday's game against San Jose State, Al Scott of Fresno State Magazine reports.

May not start Saturday Warner may not start in the regular season finale against Utah State, per Phil Benotti of ESPN Fresno.

Impact Warner got his first start in three games last week against Utah State, and it was yet another rough outing for the senior gunslinger. He tossed for 187 yards on 5.7 yards per attempt with a touchdown and an interception as well. Warner's touchdown-to-interception ratio this season sits at 11:10 -- he's been far too streaky. Warner was reportedly determined as the starter last week due to how he practiced leading up to the game, but he hasn't locked down the gig for Week 14 and it's very possible Carson Conklin could draw the start in his stead.

Iffy in return to action Warner was 23-for-33 passing for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 28-17 loss versus Utah State. He also had seven rushes for 13 yards.

Impact Warner got the start for the first time since Week 7 after three straight absences, and it was more of the same from the inconsistent quarterback. He again matched his touchdowns and interceptions, and he now has a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 11:10 this season. Warner hasn't been able to create enough production or take care of the football this season, but his backup Carson Conklin hasn't been much better.
