Watch Justin fold like a cheap lawn chair in the 2nd half. I've seen this movie too many times

Well if the Cardinals play their A game in the 2nd Half, Cal won't win just because of the talent discrepancy.

Cal just needs to keep this game as ugly as possible and hope Moss loses the game for the Cards.

a little too early for turtle mode, but yeah…

One more Cal score and turtle mode time. Once Cal gets to 20, Wilsux gets conservative.

Haven't read whole thread... how many receptions does De Jesus have at the half? (+ his two passes)

I'm not sure I agree because I really don't think we've seen our A game yet. Id like to see us bring that in the second half.

If Cal keeps our foot on the gas we can trick Louisville into trying to keep up by passing. If we get conservative and/or they figure out that we can't stop the run we will lose.

Pleasantly surprised so far. Where has this team been?

Hoping it holds thru the 2nd half as Louisville is a 2nd half team, especially in the 4th Q.

Wilsux probably realizes his job is on the line and decided to loosen the reins and allow his OC to open the books a bit more.

Thanks.

Just for everybody to note: The Growls game thread usually has about 50% more posts than the premium board game thread. But who cares? Let's go for 1,000+ on both threads combined!

You almost know that when JKS gets time in the pocket it's going to be completed.

On target, yes. Completed, maybe. His receivers still need to complete the catch, which isn't guaranteed.

Discipline (or lack thereof) is a coaching issue.

idk if your player hits a QB late isn't the coach telling him to do that. You can blame the player for making dumb mental mistakes

It's a coaching issue, period. A well-coached team plays disciplined and under control.

Not dead yet. The pick and field goal helped negate the "defer" advantage. But the D got very sloppy on that drive. Best cure is the Bears scoring again.

And just like that, Justin Wilcox's team gets undisciplined and gives up a free touchdown just like that. It took him only 6 minutes to fold ?

So teams with high penalties per game are undisciplined and badly coach? Because I remember checking a while ago and a lot of good teams commit penalties,

Sometimes a kid will make a bonehead decision, espicially since Cal isn't roughing the passer every drive
