Illegal formation as they go to break?
Why would JKS come back?
Whata brutal sequence, false start and then 2 drops. Should be 17-10.
Cal's version of Stickum is Crisco.

Not this way.
These drops are beyond ridiculous. I have never seen anything like it.
Who's the receivers coach? The drops have not been corrected after seven games. How is that acceptable? That just cost Cal 4 points!
Wow Wilcox is pissed.

Twice!
I have no frame of reference for all these drops. Watching Cal games since the early 60s and don't recall an epidemic of receiver drops like this. ***?

Similar to last week's profound question, what is a Hokie?

From VT's website:
The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body.
Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his "Hokie" yell (Old Hokie Cheer below) which is still used today. Later, when asked if "Hokie" had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics.
The official university school colors - Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange - also were introduced in 1896. The colors were chosen by a committee because they made a 'unique combination' not worn elsewhere at the time. The official definition of "Hokie" is "a loyal Virginia Tech Fan".
The HokieBird
The bird is a "HokieBird" which has evolved from a turkey. Virginia Tech teams were once called the "Gobblers"!
So a Hokie is an imaginary turkey?

Exactly; his stats are getting absolutely gutted by his receivers

He will have all new receivers.
We never met a pass we couldn't drop…

He should be pissed---at himself.
I am not even joking but Hamper must have close to as many drops as catches. That's mental. Pull your head out and fight for the ball.

Yeah, on a different team.

It makes me wonder who is on the depth chart behind him and why that guy is not playing.
Wow almost a safety damn.
We need a TO to TD!

Should have been.

Never like trying to run out of your own end zone. Throw a quick pass
Horrible defense! No tackling!
Really? 12 yard run?
I can't believe we gave up that 1st down.

I was told by many on this board that blocking is the most important job for a WR?
Anyone miss Toler and having 4 star players at WR instead of guys from FCS Idaho? De Jesus is good, but at 5'5" is not a Red Zone guy…
If only we could tackle.
All these missed tackles cannot just be a coincidence. It's the result of poor coaching.
Big third down
There are a lot of horrid QBs in this conference
