Too much speed at the skill positions for UCLA. And they know it.
On both sides of the ball, they have huge edges in speed, skill, and instinct.

Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.

Well, it's not fair because Cal has to live under the strict rules and guidelines of the University of California while UCLA...

Wait.

Yogi, you don't know Shyte. This is Cal, not Alabama. We'll never be a football factory. For my mind, Wilcox is a good fit. You think the Lou Sabans would coach here?

Dimitrig, you think UCL:A is as competitive in the classroom as Cal?

The problem is that the university doesn't. Care about athletics, they don't understand that fundraising would increase if sports were strong.

We should pull the scholarships of all of our offensive linemen. They totally suck!
When the defense is concentrating on stopping the run, and dares you to beat them by throwing the ball, the OL looks even worse than they are. The times where Garbers isn't pressured is when we need to complete passes, but He's already lost his confidence, can't get through his progressions, and stares down the primary receiver. A better QB would make the OL look better!!

This is embarrassing. The one good thing about this is Cal hopefully comes out pissed and nasty next week.

Yes.

They are now ranked higher than we are.

I am not sure I agree with that ranking, but they are definitely competitive.

When is the last time cal has actually won a game when we really needed a win. Last time I can think of is maybe that win at SC awhile back. We are awful when there are any stakes whatsoever
LMFAO. There are only stakes here for morons who think getting 6 wins and a potential slot in a shytty bowl is an achievement.

The big problem with winning the Oregon State game is that it allowed all of the sunshine pumpers in our fanbase to imagine that the wins against Colorado and Stanford meant this team was making progress and you all managed to memory hole the Arizona game that revealed all of the flaws in our program by blaming it on COVID instead of wondering why a 5th year coach doesn't have a 2nd string QB worth a damn that could put points on an AWFUL Arizona team. It is no shock that when we travel to LA (where Cal nearly always shyts the bed) and had to play a team with a pulse that we couldn't just run at will against that the problems with the offensive line and with Garbers would reveal themselves again.

As is always the case, the #1 problem with the Cal football program is the loser fanbase that sets the bar for success so incredibly low. Fix the problems with yourselves first and start demanding more from your chancellor and your athletic director.


But Justin Wilcox is a really nice guy and is in really good shape. Does he practice intermittent fasting?

I hear Knowlton is a nice guy too. Has a great relationship with Christ. Just got an 8 year extension.

Garbers tendency to make short completions when we need medium completions is maddening.

You can't throw to your safety valve EVERY TIME.

C'mon. The pass protection is so poor that Garbers' only alternatives, on that play and many others tonight, are (a) take the short completion, or (b) take a sack.

You want more alternatives, get a better o-line.
And whose fault is that?


Not Garbers. Pretty sure he didn't recruit or coach the oline.

For those of you who are too young to remember, certain teams always beat us the same way. With UCLA, it is always with a stellar back who comes on strong in the second half. Maurice Drew et al. I wonder if coaches in the Pac12 have this institutional memory?

Saban is at one end of the spectrum. Wilcox is at the extreme of the other end.

Wilcox needs to pull Garbers and get Milner or Johnson some playing time.

Does chip put in Ethan to make for a Hallmark moment where both Garbers boys throw a pick in the same game??

Btw, when the details of that Knowlton contract are made public people will LTAO.

Same. 5 consecutive losing Pac-12 seasons, a feat not achieved in the past 100 years…not By Gilby, Holmoe, Kapp, nada. *Shakes fist* "Damn you Berkeley health dept!"

Yes - let's not keep putting our shoulders over our BS education. One can be successful wherever they go. An institution that is good in both academics and athletics is unique. This is where UCLA beats the pants off of us. Give them their just due of #1 public uni. We can take it back when we deserve it.

Only 10 3 star 2022 recruits, no QB2, issues with depth, team speed, OC and DC ineffective,Cal's inability to pay for a top flight HC….We need to give Wilcox another year to make progress. He needs to stand tough and deliver. There is no other option. He's got the right character. He has made some staff mistakes typical of a first time HC. But he can rectify them.

Should have done it one or two series ago...

We have to see what we've got.

Bullied on both sides of the ball. Offense looked like crap, but what else is new. The defensive ineptitude is surprising, though. If we can't compete on D, what is Wilcox even doing here? If U Dub is seriously considering him, it might be a blessing in disguise for us.

Oddly as much as the defense has wilted in the second half I kind of don't blame them. When the offense puts up 7 legitimate points and only 160 yards in three and a half quarters I imagine it takes the wind out of your sails quite a bit.

I vote to fire Musgrave and give Wilcox one last chance to hire a competent collegiate offensive coordinator. Which I guess requires a one- or two-year extension for Wilcox in order to attract someone, which sounds kind of crummy now that I'm typing it.

UCLA has the #1 offense in the conference

The D did enough to win.

Can't overcome the offense turning the ball over and getting sacked on every possession.

What happened to our defense? They totally suck tonight

Gassed and out-athleted
DTR is elusive, fast, & a good passer;
UCLA has a *very* good rushing attack, with their OL, Charbonnet, Allen, and DTR.
Too many weapons!

Cal defense did well for a while, but they're spent.

UCLA had the winning defensive scheme -- overwhelm Cal's OL with blitzes.

Since the half: Cal's total yds -- 9.
