I agree with all of this. I will defend the defense somewhat as they are (as usual) on the field far more than half the game. The short series on offense always wear out our defense. We aren't in this game due to a horrible offensive performance, not a horrible defensive performance.

I will repeat what has become a mantra for me: I HATE this offensive scheme. This is unrecognizable from the offense that we succeeded with early in Tedford's tenure. How was this guy an OC? Did he EVER have convictions offensively?


How does defense get a pass? How many yards has SC racked up in rushing? They are running all over us. The inside is soft.

32 rushing yards in first half. Hope we can improve that in the second half...

Ha! Fair enough. I guess that in the big scheme of things, I'm much more distressed by the offense. Given our offensive performance, I'm impressed that we only gave up 17 points, but you aren't wrong.

Nice inside run by Bigelow

Wow. Imagine that. Bigelow actually gains yards when you give him some carries........

Keep running Bigelow!

We have a lot of backs and it's not like we're getting great blocking the run game. We're also facing a lot of long yards for first down.

Putting Biggie in isn't a game plan.


I never said it was. This is a team game. But since we're down, I suppose it makes no sense to give him any carries. I just thought that perhaps he'd get more than one carry.

KA wide open....

Yet another miss to a wide open receiver... Try blaming that on the O-line...

Tedford is terrible. We're rolling with Bigelow and then when you get the ball in the red zone you just abandon giving it to him? Nice!!!

This is why tedford SUCKS!!!!!

We were rolling. ROLLING.

Running the ball down their throat. Yet we pass and pass and pass???
Bad maynard shows up durin that pass

So...we put Bigelow in the game, start using him regularly, start establishing a running game and we march down the field...only to take Bigelow out and start throwing. WTF? If something works stick with it until the other team stops you. Ugh.

A field goal does us absolutely no good. We can't trade field goals for TDs. If Cal is going to come back they need a TD on the next possessoin.

It's only an 11 point game, but I can't see the D stopping USC ever time and us getting 4 more good field goals.

Actually taking Bigelow out is ridculous. He just peels off two 8 yard runs, better pull him.

Yeah. They gave up 2 TDs due to their incompetence, maybe 3. The score could be a lot worse.

I feel like our defense has a better match up on talent. Their DL is just having their way with our OL.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

I understand that he might not be the pass-blocker Isi is, but the threat of him running slows down the pass rush. Seems about a wash to me. Not to mention that you can actually consider running him.

It's like a random number generator is calling our plays. I don't get it.

Tedford has lost all common football sense. He's Dr. Moreau.

Tedford thinks he's so much smarter than he actually is and over thinks the simplest things...namely, failing to play his best players.

I feel pretty strongly that going for the FG was not the right call.
