Sac State Offensive Coordinator Bobby Fresques is one of 10 children

Following the first regular season loss for Sacramento State football since Oct. 2021, offensive coordinator Bobby Fresques reflects on the turnaround for the program and the aspirations to get to the next level–in the mix for a national championship.

Fresques and Dave discuss the impact Hornets legend Greg Knapp left on him as a coach and a man. Knapp was tragically killed after being hit by a car while riding his bicycle and Sacramento State continues to keep his memory alive. Knapp was a star quarterback at Sacramento State before a long and respected career in the NFL, making two trips to the Super Bowl with Denver.

The theme family is important to the football team and Fresques can relate to his own experience as one of 10 children–growing up in a three-bedroom home in Southern California.

Sacramento State football Offensive Coordinator Bobby Fresques

"One good thing with all those siblings is that you always had someone to play with. You didn't have to go down the street and look for friends because there were always people in the house to play with. But with me being the youngest out of this family and six brothers being in the fold--they were helped me and mentored me along the way. My brother Paul was huge in my development as far as making me workout, set goals, teaching me about the game. My brothers Pat, Ron and Don are huge supporters and there to talk to and express my feelings about the game.

Sac State’s Andy Thompson after upset of Stanford in college football

"I have a lot to learn. Everyday, I learn something new...There weren't nearly as many interviews or a lot more cameras but behind the scenes everyday, I try to stay in a routine because you are responsible for more things. That's been the biggest challenge--making sure I'm the head coach and that I'm here for everybody in the program and not just one side of the ball as I was before. It's been very rewarding to be around so many great people that are trying to help you. Our staff has been awesome. We've hired some new guys that are great. The guys that were here--we've formed a bond we share that is very strong. And just working for a guy like Mark Orr, who's been there to help me through everything as the Athletic Director. I don't feel like I'm doing this alone.

The Sac Bee’s Joe Davidson talks record heat impact on sports and Sacramento State’s rising star running back

"Work within reason and sanity. And don't do practices when it's 105, 110 or 115. It sounds like we're exaggerating but no, that's how hot it's been. And high school coaches, college coaches be flexible. Nighttime practices or early morning because you can't do it when it's 115 despite tradition, schedules and normalcy...because you could have a disaster."
