Cal must be the worst team in college football in getting stops on 4th down.
It is odd for as a good a D we have how few 4th down stops they get.

Why?


Have you witnessed the glory of Cal's kicker thus far?


He has been good on extra points.

Not sure what they saw on that extra point, convincing them to go for 2. Pitt seemed to have guys in position, even if a guy came open late.
Why not save that type of play to later in the game if you need it? Just odd timing.

Well I guess the long snapper was eligible the way they lined up and Pitt wouldn't have realized that. Would hav worked if the pass was decent.

That was the punter, Wilson, though right?

I looked it up. Cal is 116th on 4th down conversions given up at 1.5 per game, and 62nd in percentage given up at 54.55%.

To be fair to our "defensive mastermind" and as much as I want him gone.
The 1.5 per game number is a bit skewed given we also have had a 4th quarter lead in every game this season.
In other words the percentage is what matters and that is not good either though.

And now Cal will be trailing because of the failed 2 point conversion.

Really poor series by our defense. Too many penalties.

Ranked and undefeated, mid day game, Memorial would be packed. Success is wasted on the wrong teams.

So we commit 2 nasty penalties against a high-powered offense. Not good.

I don't understand why there are not more passes to Starling. He seems like he has NFL potential. Underutilized.

It's ok. We can even it out with a clever two point conversion play.

Coaching is dragging us down. It has cost us 8 points so far, should be 7-0

These penalty calls need to start evening out.

We better not expect Coe to kick any field goals since we just killed his confidence by attempting the 2pt

In fairness, Pitt plays in an NFL stadium and those are typically bigger.
