Can bowers recover if he throws another pick?
Let's hope so.

That was a deflection when everyone knew he was going to pass.

Garbers.

We need a stud QB. Bowers could evolve into one, but he needs a lot more maturing.
We need a stud offensive line. And the injuries aren't helping.

Wow... learn to pump fake next week and we don't lose like this again.

This team needs to find a way to take pressure off of Bowers. He is not the kind of talent that can overcome a deficit in the second half, especially without a stud receiver. As a game manager and occasional play extender he should be fine leading us to a mid Pac12 finish. And that is fine outcome for the state of the program.

Given the 5 turnovers our defense played really well. Formula for the rest of the year needs to be run run run, force turnovers on D. And recruit a QB with a D1 arm that will compliment our vastly improved defense next season.


We held our own for 3/4 against a team with four stars three deep I think we did fine but it's frustrating that we did so well and just couldn't close the deal

The tsunami of hyperbole about Darnold is completely unreal.

This telecast may be the worst I have ever seen/heard.
Quit listening to it! I'm watching the ABC feed and listening to Starkey and Paws

Bottom line here: the Cal turnaround will not happen as fast as we hoped it would after the first 3 games. It's a multi-year project, if it happens at all.
This is ridiculously pessimistic based on what we have seen so far.
4-0 including 3 upsets and 1 against a ranked team or we suck...

Yeah, kind of an absurd stance.
I see everyone still hopes we become a Pac-12 contender instantly under Wilcox. The truth hurts, doesn't it?

We will definitely get better with him in charge, but it's going to be one step forward and two steps back. And will need us to step recruiting, which is the thing that takes the longest. Back in the JT era, we could say "we have talent, we're just not using it". Can you honestly say that now?

if it's one step forward and two steps back, we would've been better off keeping dykes and kaufman...are you sure you don't mean two forward and one back?

Do you sit Bowers to prevent lessening his confidence?
No, you force him to work through it. like when Rodgers was garbage vs OSU, then became one of the best ever...
Rodgers had no pass protection in that game. Bowers has had better protection than that in this game, but still facing a lot of heat.

Why did we abandon the run in the 1st half

Yes. He is a decent college quarterback I don't see him doing anything in the NFL
I agree with you. I have been underwhelmed by him this year.

Maybe a career backup.

But Bowers is playing against a much better defense. And he's just a sophomore in his 4th collegiate game.

He is elite at extending the play outside the pocket and throwing accurately on the run. But he makes some Bowers like decisions on where to throw.

Not convinced Beau is all that good. He's abandons trends and has a hard time establishing an identity/flow. We've got a million times more offensive talent than he's had at EWU. Maybe the stage is too big for him?

Has a Cal QB ever had 6 turnovers in one game or 11 in the first three games?

I don't think anyone is saying that four games in and only two weeks removed from a dogfight against an FCS team.

But the coaching is so clearly an upgrade at every single spot that we can't help but be excited about the future.

Yeah, you're right, I meant two steps forward and 1.5 steps back. If we stayed with sonny it'd be one step forward, 1-2 steps back, and a quick break while he talks to his agent and Tony Franklin sells more DVDs to local high schools.

JT started with talent and didn't go 4-0, though. We started 3-0 then lost 2 of 3. We lost to Air Force at home for our 4th game...

Football is not all or nothing. The idea that we are a bad team because we got smoked in this game is absurd. We are clearly MUCH better than we were...

You are much smarter than I. I'm disturbingly intrigued by the absurdity of it. That, and I'm being really lazy.

I'll definitely do that next time!
