Wouldn't be a surprise since the coaches left him during garbage time near the end of the last game when he was obviously hurting.egbear82 said:
Plummer is so bad today could he have an injury we don't know about? His passes aren't even close?
I think Plummer's accuracy was a myth we were falsely sold. I've seen all the games this year and he always appeared to miss more than his fair share of throws.egbear82 said:

Actually it should have been thrown to the inside receiver for an easy first down.AEM80 said:
Tommy gets a chance and blows it. Might have been a TD.
The OL is thinking outside the box, which is why they aren't blocking guys in it.GoCal80 said:
The OL seem to lack strength and stamina. Maybe the coaches could try having them do some exercises, you know, like running a bit, lifting some weights once in a while. Just trying to think outside the box.
So when do we start getting desperate, do we start swapping QBs in the 3rd, wait until Colorado scores again, or dither when the game is out of reach?XXXBEAR said:
I would consider benching Plummer at halftime. Something is really off.

Anyone know if Jim Knowlton will be on the halftime show talking about how "explosive" our offense is?
Oh wait.
That was the Wazu game.
They are good young men. They play hard and with discipline. The problem is not the players or the culture.Jeff said:
These are young men we should be proud of with a good team culture, playing for Offense coaches who are ineffective in scheme, play calling and development. Let's hope our players get fired up at half time and come out and play physical football in the second half. Let's see what our team culture really is. The coaches won't change anything. They're beyond redemption.
Where did you get the idea Plummer is accurate? My reading of various preseason QB rankings, e.g., (https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-pac-12-quarterbacks-2022/), had him around 11th in the conference. Those same preseason rankings picked Cal overall in the bottom 3 or 4 in the conference because the poor offensive line and poor offensive coaching. If you look on Cal chat sites like this one for guesses about how the season will play out, you always get a rosy outlook, which experience has taught me to take with a grain of salt.golden sloth said:I think Plummer's accuracy was a myth we were falsely sold.

Last year was excusable as it was the first full season installing the offense and despite the bad start we recovered and had some good wins at the end, right now however against the worst team in Power 5 (with a full squad no less), this is obvious.GMP said:
Musgrave lost me in the Nevada game last year. He just re-lost me.
There is some hope, due to our skill position players all we need is one well-executed play and Ott, Anderson, Sturdivant, etc can take it to the house. I have some confidence that our defense will keep Colorado under 10 for the game, that means we need one or two well-executed plays.Jeff said:

His entire tenure he and his quarterback have not been in sync, only this year he doesn't have Garbers' legs and improvisation to bail him out.Strykur said:Last year was excusable as it was the first full season installing the offense and despite the bad start we recovered and had some good wins at the end, right now however against the worst team in Power 5 (with a full squad no less), this is obvious.GMP said:
