Better to play an imperfect game and win than to learn lessons in a loss. Go bears.
That was ugly. Glad we pulled off a W though. This team has a lot to work on.

Like many of you, I don't understand taking the delay of game at the end there. You still want those 5 yards. Just call time out, you're not saving it for the 5th quarter.
If you are planning on squibbing it. Worse is the players touching it instead of letting the clock run. But it is a great win. Wish we had a better tune up than Wagner, but Clemson at home will be huge.
That was one of the worst games I've ever seen.
Almost 220 yards of penalties against like 700 yards of offense.

When is the last time a Bear had three interceptions in one game?

We have a winning conference record

We lost everything except for penalties, turnovers, and the game! Works for me…
Need to rush the ball better.
67 yards doesnt cut it.

We'll take it. Can't count on the opponent being called for 15 penalties, missing 2 FG attempts, and throwing 3 INTs every week, but we'll take it.
As mentioned on the telecast: Last four Syracuse possessions ended missed FG, pick six, missed FG, and game-sealing INT.

Yikes!
Yeah, we should have lost. Major turnover advantage and they missed 2 FG and we only won by 3.

Two FGs and essentially two XPs…

They are our new conference's Cougars.
I love when the opposing team goes for two early in what may be a close game…

The squib kick would have gone the same way except 5 yards further down the field. You only take the delay if a touchback is in play on the punt. That's not happening from your own 35.

Cal has had more drops per game over the last three years than any stretch by any team I've ever followed.
Throw more to Mason Mini. He catches everything

First down, playaction to Muhammad, deep throw or up the seam to Mini should be a staple.

We finally played a team more cursed than us!
Not cursed. Bad. They have lost 8 league games in a row.
Cal missed a FG too. All this game needed was overtime.
I think you owe me an apology, just kidding

Face it, we suck! Out coached and out played. Is there something else I'm missing?
Terrible clock management.
Ugly win but we'll take it! Now we can just focus on an ACC title
The win is most important. Just realized cause they mention JKs 200 yard streak, well that stopped today. Stats are cool, W's what matters
It helped that we played Syracuse, "Cal of the East"TM
How many games has Cal played just like Syracuse did today?
Plenty. Congratulations Tosh on your first head coaching win.

Dude was a stud today. Pizza afterwards at Varsity. Successful road trip. My wife may let me drag her to another one if we keep winning like this. Went to BC last year. Big take away was seeing Tosh and how young he looks/is. TV puts about 20 lbs on him.

I mean, let's not discredit our defense for fixing those interceptions with pressure on Angeli when it counted and Lopa stepping up to secure those picks and return one for 7. That's not just random ball bounces our way kind of stuff.
Sorry I missed it folks. I was at a wedding that ended at 6 (not sure why it ended at 6), but I'll take a win even if it was ugly as others have said. I'll be there next week, though. Tailgate! Go Bears!

We had a few dumb penalties of our own.
