OL beyond bad

Mendoza isn't the answer.

Nando had receivers. He should have thrown it earlier

Receivers not getting separation.

Offensive line is offensive. Not even JV level of play

Run up the middle on 1&10. Run to the outside on 3&1?

He'd be fine with a better line/running game

Still waiting for the day we incorporate toss left/right to the RB …. Blows my mind. You literally have the two fastest back in the conference and we still go up the middle ..

They have got to stop them on this 4th down.
Nofado

This makes no sense. Why would you try for fourth and three here with only two minutes left in the offense is not doing much.

Teams should always go for it on fourth against us

4th down defense again.

Because we have no defense.

I would punt against anyone but Cal - we give up about 90% of fourth downs.


Ok - looked it up. Slightly more than 60%, but still putrid.

We suck and swallow on 4th down

They can't be bowl eligible so why not pull out all the stops against us? No downside for them

No containment

Furd is 3-7. They are playing to win. We play conservative and scared …

40% conversion rate

No team should ever punt against Cal.

No contain on the edges.

It is unfathomable how many 4th and 3+ this defense gives up. The success rate should be like 20% not over 50%.

Not running a QB sneak TWICE (if needed) is beyond stupid. No idea why Wilcox has such an aversion to just running that
Nofado

If we lose Wilcox, we'll probably lose half the team to the transfer portal. Unless we have a star coach, it's just not gonna be pretty.

Rodney Dangerfield defense - gets no respect.

Still no one thinks to spy their QB. Just asinine coaching.
AEM80
How long do you want to ignore this user?
That's the thing. The defense just isn't nearly as good as it was early in the season.

And God forbid we're getting tired in the 2nd quarter?
LarsBear74

We continue to suck on 4th and short. When is the last time we stopped one? If I were coaching vs Cal, i would NEVER punt 4th and short.

Anything to get rid of Wilcox.

I'm in.

That's a horrible timeout

Teams have figured out our offense and defense.

Attack the soft zone D with short throws.

Man up on our receivers and don't allow the short stuff

Basically take advantage of our inherent conservatism knowing full well we won't ever be aggressive

Because Wilcox is a coaching savant? What success has he had as a HC?

I'm pretty sure he's already lost much of the team. Retaining Wilcox will likely mean losing Cal's best players, anyway.

Why keep Wilcox if the end result will be the same?

At this point it might just be giving Stanford more time to score.
