Tosh has assemble the worst team since pre-Tedford

you're forgetting how bad last year was. 34-0 at sdsu and stanford were unforgivable.

i'm not saying this year is good, but we have recently been really, really, really bad.

i do not miss wilcox. i do not like our team so far this year either.

both can be true.


This. Being on campus was nice today the best part of home games.

Wilcox sucked and was never going to work out but Tosh's hires on offense are worse than anything Wilcox assembled

If we're gonna run an option at least use the Cowboy triple option where Emory is the dive, and Sams in the slot comes around pre-snap as the pitch man. SO you have speed on the edge.

Oh and these flag happy refs are total a**

This is literally the worst 3rd down play calling I've ever seen at Cal, I'd rather see direct dives into the Nose Tackle than whatever this is.

Somerville was better. Maybe everyone will get their wish with Rolovich in the second half?

What Chip Kelly has going on at Northwestern is amazing and shows what a skilled coach does, maximize scheme for personnel

I agree the offense is horrifically bad. I'm trying to stop from throwing up all game long whenever our O is on.

At least the defensive front seems much better, no big runs anyway

Even when we were playing a MWC team. We dhould have filed a protest that what they did to JKS went unflagged, it was like the Skov hit on Goff, but that was Pac-12 helping a BCS Stanfird team, not ACC refs helping UNLV. I guess South Carolina guys like teams called the Rebels?

We shouldn't have problems with MWC teams even with the worst refs in existence

I'd disagree with that.

McCann trying some new things but not very successfully. But it seems like the calls are ok, but lack of practice/execution.

Why would a team playing Cal ever punt???

Cal can't score TD's or make field goal's.

He is trying some things obviously but with no downfield designs we are stuck in neutral

you spoke too soon. I'm not saying we've proven anything yet, but I like the philosophy/approach.

i'm most worried about practice/execution.

Not as much as I hate the ACC, its executives, office workers, member schools, fans, refs, coaches, players, traditions, network, and analysts.

We lucked out with that dummy Tech player, but good blocked up TD run.

Hopefully next time we get near the goal, we have a good playaction, Tech will be looking to overplay the run now.
