Willis got beat badly on the first long TD throw actually. Not sure about Drew or Gibson both have been disappointing before.

Walker is pretty hit and miss at safety but I kinda like him there. He seems to cover a lot of ground but isn't sound tackling. Not sure how he'd do at CB. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing him try. Not sure if it could be worse.


Those players may not be great, but are you saying they are worse than Lee and Lapite? If that is the case, I just plain disagree with you. The combination of Drew/Gibson (S) and Walker (S) is miles better than Walker and Lee/Lapite (CB), even if they are still horrible.

Maybe it's for player morale? It's tough to have a decent drive and come away with nothing. We are going to lose anyway.


Player morale? That makes sense. I'm sure they feel much better now. Good point.

Are they losing money? Cal bettors have been.


I think so. Some of the sites show heavy consensus the past few weeks on teams laying big points against Cal... and we know how thats worked out.

2nd and 12 and you run it twice - that's just awful. I figured that after the run on 2nd down, they were in four down territory. FG means nothing here - at least try to throw it into the end zone. Geez.


Tedford in disguise.

dykes is more worried about keeping the score close.

he has no interest in winning.

I'm not going to say any of our CBs/S are definitively better than any of the other ones.

I think it goes game by game and when Willis gave up that big pass they moved away from him. I wouldn't be surprised to see some more position switching in practice... but that just indicates to me the defensive staff has no idea what to do or how to fix it.

Try as I might I just don't understand.
How is it that just about every other PAC 12 team has upped its game and we have lost ours? We've thrown LOTS of money at the thing. Where are the results?

only thing that would make this evening bearable would be for sonny to slap sarsleazian instead of shaking his hand. just a good old fashioned b-slap for running up the score.

Still pissed at that last offensive series - we get it down into the red zone finally and we run it twice on 2nd and 12. I'd like an explanation of the thinking behind those two calls.

The point is they're not double teaming in the situations I mentioned. I think 2 bad players cover better than 1 (no jokes please, it's a serious question). And maybe they don't look so bad if they are put in situations to succeed.

Wow


Appropo that the last of the Otis boys drops a pass on 4th down for what could be our last drive of the game.
TheBears
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow, after seeing that drop, I really hope he's not point-shaving.

Why do you sub out Harper and Treggs can't be bc they're tired
gooski
How long do you want to ignore this user?
When Goff does make a good pass - our receiver drops it. 4th down too.

It's garbage time so really don't get why Kline isn't playing at all
mechaniCAL
How long do you want to ignore this user?
If Kline doesn't get any PT in garbage time I've lost all faith with the staff
