WSU daring us to pass

Hilarious since SC shredded them 2 weeks ago and we can't throw a *******.

---

SC shredded Wazzu's D in the 2nd half, not the 1st. Halftime score in that game was Wazzu 14, USC 7.

---

how TF did USC get 7.

A touchdown is only 6, a FG is 3. Is there a way one point, or did they get two safeties?

Same page - have to call a timeout with 51s left on that sack

---

Not a good sign that coaches and team repeat mistakes.

---

I have never played football and even i know that! This is a game of inches and one or two plays. We have them pinned deep. What if they get nervous. What if they have a bad snap? What if we block a punt (lol jk). Many of u will argue it doesnt matter. And it prob doesnt.

But not putting pressure on them , not maximizing your chances of something breaking your way every single play. We went out there and conceded. Sign of a losing coach who has lost his way.

Well, the good news is that Cal can only play one good half of football on any given day. I'm assuming that we are saving the good play for second half.

Didn't even need a blocked punt or mistake. Had all three timeouts. Had enough time to get a FG at least!

Wilcox must have learned from Tedford that you can carry over timeouts to the second half.......

Missed extra point? Again? (not to mention all of the other ST snafus) For the life of me, I cannot FATHOM why this is continuing to happen. If my Cal coach were coaching football right now, the kickers and those that snap and hold the balls for them would be spending the entire practice - all week - kicking extra points and field goals. THE ENTIRE PRACTICE. Send a coach over with those players to whichever field you want, and that's what they'll be doing throughout the entire practice, all week.

Now, I know some people are going to say that those players need to be at practice for whatever drills involve them. My response is…NO. The most important thing they can do for the rest of the season is MAKE their extra points and field goals. And, if they can't reliably do that right now, their presence in the drills with the rest of the team is NOT as important. Especially when we have a bye next weekend. However, for those that insist that the snappers, holders and kickers be present for the entire practice with the rest of the team, then…they can do what my college coach (and I'm sure countless other college and high school/club coaches) made us do regularly - have them do it on their own time.

This needs to be a priority.

It's crazy.

Ok so this is relevant. Thibedeaux just targeted the QB. Might miss the first half of his next game ... Cal.

Just curious: Anybody else getting sick of this s***?

Tanner is back - switch to Stanford game for a good gmending.

Yes

I get enough from these games to stay entertained, usually.

It's kind of like watching Charlie Brown charging at Lucy's football over and over and over.

I am sick and tired of every single punt feeling like it will be blocked. I have rooted for Cal the last 20 years. When is the last time we blocked a kick or punt ourselves. We dont even try. Watch our fourth down formation. We play our regular defense and fair catch anything. Why dont we actually try to block a kick?


The last 2 weeks i see opponents start at 25 , they go three and out and punt. We get the ball around our 25, we go three and out and punt (no surprise here) then some how the opponent has the ball at their 40. Happened at Washington. Happened again today. They gain 15 yards because their special team is better. INFURIATING.

We blocked a punt in this game!!! But ... Cal

Holy cow!? Sta ford tied it!!!

Stanfurd. FML

Off of a roughing, targeting, and untimed down after a PI. LMFAO.

We get the ball to start the second half… gotta make it count

Pac-12 officials are the worst P.O.S. in the sport.

Any other conference, the officials don't call PI on Oregon there.

But best news for Cal today is that Oregon's Thibodeaux was called for targeting late in the game and will miss the first half of their game against Cal

That PI call was such a crock... both of them were handfighting and you choose that play to call it a penalty when it had been going on for the last few in the exact same manner?

Hey - don't hate. Competent coaching can close the talent gap and prevent stupid errors like the ones we have been seeing all year.

The talent gap that allows a 10 yard sack on the first play of the 2nd half as if there was no O-line at all.

Our o-line was our good unit too, I jinxed us by commenting on it at the start.

We're looking at 1-4 and no ****ing urgency.

TBH, screwing either of these teams makes the refs heros in my book.

I hope the game ends with both teams disqualified.

We have three and out down pat... What a thing to be good at

I don't want to disparage our players who are presumably doing their best, but it's hard to believe we don't have any one else who can play right tackle.

Hate it. Stanford had the "brand" off of barbaugh's and shaw's early success. No way we get that call there

Except to get Stanford in, or do you not remember some of the most ridiculous Big Games ever.

We have to let Wilcox go after this year. Simple as that. We are awful this year and next year is more of the same with a new QB. He's at least 2-3 years from having a team that might finish 4-5 in conference. Sorry, it has to be done.

Defense starting to give in a bit, can't blame them.

In a morbid sort of way, I'm curious what Wilcox's halftime speech was.

No way Wilcox lasts the year with this crap record, performance, lousy recruiting, etc
