Wow. The Syracuse coach chose to pin Cal deep in its own territory on 4th down rather than going for it. Now, if we'd done that against UCLA in the 4th quarter, I wonder how things might have worked out.

They are so hard to watch.
No energy, no creativity, terrible execution.

So far offense, defense, and special teams suck. Otherwise, great game.

I don't know if this receiving core is better than last year.

Where is Quaron Adams? He was like Jacob De Jesus

1 and a 1/4 game through and by far we are worst. Wilcox at home drinking Mai Thais and laughing saying "y'all blaming me?".

In all seriousness, Tosh talks the talk but I have yet to see a defeated team. On all three levels we are poor and same if not little worst than last year. Plenty of season left. This game we are going to lose for sure. And likely record of 4-8 maybe 5-7. Consider it a good season and party hard if we got 6-6. But this team is just lacking vision, training and skill. Teams are building there resume and speeches to pitch to JKS to why he should jump before season ends

Execution looks like the big issue to me. Like that 2nd down screen to Mohammed was a good idea, but not quite executed well and only got a few yards rather than a first down.

Hopefully things get tightened up soon.

TBF that was a much easier decision for Cuse because they were faced with 4th and 8, not 4th and short.

Exactly, if it's 4th and 3 you go for it.

when the head coach makes a theatrical "we're kicking it" motion at midfield and short maybe look for the fake?

Gotta be kidding me.

On the flip side, if that is what it takes for them to keep a drive going...

Agreed. Now we need to see if Tosh has the balls to fire him sooner than later.

So that's pass interference, but on the last Cal series when the DB hogtied our receiver, it wasn't.

I guess coaching matters.

Too funny.

Holding and DPI on the same play. This is pure defensive clownery.

Talent matters too, which is why it's odd that Cal supposedly has more NIL to spend than Syracuse, yet their o-line is ten times better. Is that a talent evaluation problem?

Call the CEO to see what his DB coach hasn't been doing.

I was being sarcastic. It's everything. Not one thing.

OL is about more than just talent. Coaching and play calling matter a huge amount...especially in college.

I don't see our ol being put in a position to succeed. Constantly out numbered and we don't have a ton of quick plays that punish the blitz.

I expect us to get blitzed a lot this year...no one is going to give JKS a lot of time to throw. He has proven if you do he will kill you.

He hasn't proven he can beat a blitz or perform the quick reads.

Well, our defense looks OK once they're in the red zone. Could be worse.
