How is it possible that Bequette is a 7th year senior?

2 injuries + 1 pandemic?
That has to be entirely unprecedented, because they only recently began to give a 2nd injury season back (for 6), right?


Everybody got an extra year so yeah a 6th year guy could then get 7.
Does this mean that EVERY single Cal Bear gets an extra season from last season (only 4 games) if they and the coaching staff want it?
Yes. Last year was a freebie for every player in CFB.

As expected Musgrave is trash

Halftime is for adjustments. Let's see how they handle this before we decide to go out back and vomit.

The difference between a right wing conspiracy and the truth is about 20 months.

Two good drives, three bad drives (though on the last one it's more on Garbers for skipping that horrible pass on 3rd and short, not the playcalling).

Nevada has a much smaller DL than we will see throughout most of the year. Our OL is looking weak!

UCLA tops LSU. When will the SEC learn never to travel for out of conference games.

Wow. Even for those teams who played a ton of games? That's kinda ridiculous.
I thought the purpose of going to college was to get an academic education and that sports were extracurricular.

Yes this ain't working for him. Beau as bad as he was finally starting clicking with Chase the last three games of 2019 (Big Game, UCLA and Illinois). Smh.

You want Garbers to be what, exactly? He's not Goff, and he's not Rodgers.

If the O-line doesn't play better, the options are very limited.

I don't think this is a Garbers issue so much as a play calling issue. We kept running the same thing and they stopped it. We just didn't respond to make them pay for it. They've been talking about the pep talk from the Nevada coaches. Who on our side line is gonna give a pep talk?

I have a feeling that good half time corrections will be paramount this season. This next half will be a good test of their ability to make them. Go Bears!

Honestly, I'd like to see us play more like the 1st quarter, less like the 2nd quarter.

Against a good front 7, Bears show mediocre Pass Blocking for almost the entire 1st half, and mediocre Run Blocking (after the first 2 drives).
Against an average O line, Bears show nonexistent Pass Rush (except for the last defensive series), making it hard for our secondary.

Cal will face several teams this year with better front 7s and better O lines. This is not promising for the rest of the season.

Garbers is a senior QB not some freshman with no experience. He doesn't have to be Goff or AR. Let him make some plays. No pass that I recall over 5 yards. Geez.

Absolutely agree. Garbers looks like a fish outta water. I suspect a lot of that is on Musgrave. Not impressed with his offense so far. First two drives were great, but 1 quarter does not a game make.

My entirely layman's view of the offense:

Seems like Nevada's D doesn't fear a pass on the early downs. Might be time to mix it up.

He threw the back shoulder one to Hunter with the PI call. There was a mid-range one to Clark as well. Other than that it's been pretty much all short stuff, and nothing with the receivers in stride.

He made plays when he had halfway decent protection, then didn't when the protection was indecent.

Each of the first two drives included one complete pass that traveled over 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. The run game was also working much better on the first two drives.
