That said I really like the way we started the game with runs to Bigelow and I would like to see us go back to that and see if we could have some more success with it.

Opportunity for the D to make a statement. 3 and out and get the ball in great Field position.

Yep.
125th least experienced team vs T25 opposition.
This is bound to happen.
Please defense
Horrible
No pass rush
What a shock, a receiver wide open for an easy catch

I didn't expect polished, but I did expect something that looked better than the 2012 team, right now we wouldn't beat Oregon State and they just lost to and FCS team.
And that's our best corner

Unsubstantiated
Barton should have had that
is the stat sheet correct?
we haven't converted even one 3rd down yet??????
god damn.
cats converting every single 3rd down it seems.

Is it against the rules to just quote yourself for ease of posting?
All day
Need a pass rush badly

2-7 on third down per ESPN's box score.
Another cal opponent quarterback ready for his Heisman ceremony.

You rush only 3, you get no pass rush.
Quite frankly this defense might be worse than last seasons. Which scares me.
our line play (both OL & DL) .... absolutely horrible.
3rd downs are killing us.
Well we held them. How about some Bigelow, Coach!
somehow I'm thinking that perhaps kline may be more of a gamer than goff possibly

Well we're supposed to be a 4-3, gotta believe we have some blitz packages as well
Need a score on this drive. Need something positive before the half.
goff's passes remind me of bridgford's.
i thought he would have more zip on his passes.

Period!
Once again line play just isn't there. We have speed at certain positions but you can see where there just HAS to be an emphasis for recruiting.
One thing to keep in mind. The bear raid offense is most effective when it goes into attack mode. We have been making too many mistakes for that to happen.

Bingo. We are getting manhandled in the trenches. Their DL was actually laughing at us as we ended that last drive with 3 penalties in a row. They couldn't help themselves...

Inconsistent more than horrible on DL. Coleman had a nice play snapping a RB in half. OL is a mess, OTOH.

but our DL should be able to show some pass rush on their own.
instead, they are getting owned by the cats OL.
Almost broke that

There was a lot of speculation that Kline was the better gamer, which was one reason a lot of fans supported him in both spring ball and into fall camp. However, Dykes likes Goff, so now he has to win with Goff.
This series will be big. We absolutely need a score.
It would help if we could actually move the ball consistently

We aren't a 4-3 if the des are just undersized backers with their hand on ground getting steamrolled.
Fortt is hurt?
That was a pick six waiting to happen.
