blocking, tackling, pass rush, catching passes, accurate passes.
These are fundamentals that Cal should have down at this stage of the season.
When Tedford came in, Cal did not have problems in these areas.
Cal has actually regressed in these areas this year for some reason.
Not sure why.


Is anyone arguing 2004 Tedford was worse than 2019 Wilcox?

Injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries, injuries,. They just keep coming.
Have to recruit more and better depth at pretty much every position. USC's 3rd string QB is carving up the Bears D. Think about that -- Slovis was their 3rd best QB at the start of the season. Have the Bears had 3 QBs in the last 30 years who were better than Slovis? I can only think of two.

Can't expect to beat USC very often unless and until the Bears' recruiting improves drastically.
I keep hearing that stars don't matter.

Remember when it was 10-10? That was cool.

7-0 was even better. Should have just called the game right there.

I agree on recruiting, but Cal has had several QBs better than Slovis - at least so far.

Thanks again to Baldwin for calling that QB run play. Very creative.

USC is on their third string QB. Dude went to USC for the chicks and free food.

why is BB making Modster throw into double coverage and receivers drop passes? And why is DeRoooter making DBs let USC receivers catch deep balls?

Brasch please


I agree. Save the other two guys, avoid injuries. Pull all the first string and garbage time it. Use the blowout loss to our advantage, save bodies.

We aren't even physically conditioned to be on a football field right now.

It's almost like we don't pay for good coaches while everyone else competing at this level (power 5 conferences) does.


Well, we always extend the last coach before we fire him, so we end up paying for two coaches at a time.

Real smart too, risking injury before BG.
Dudes an idiot.

Cal is smart at a lot of things. Managing a football program is not one of them.

Did that really impact the game versus our secondary covering nothing in the 2nd half? Eh.

Modster is clearly a initial one-read QB. Snap, stare, throw. Garbers is less so, but not great. Must be frustrating as a coach.

What a crazy sequence!

How many time per game does Baldwin call a downfield passin play covering at least 25 yards in the air?
2 or 3 times?
That's not football.
That's choking the air out of our offense.
And it gets boring and predictable rather quickly.

lol everytime BB calls a "regular" play aimed at moving the ball, it's a borderline turnover in waiting

A Cal TE botched a catchable throw? You don't say.

Unless of course the coach isn't coaching that.

Let's just take a knee and run the clock and punt it on 4th. Enough injuries for one day....

Are you kidding? Modster has aired it out a few times already, including twice on one drive! However, he is not accurate and our receivers can't catch!

This game made is very obvious to me that play calling is not the problem. Execution is. To the extent that execution is a result of preparation and talent it is on Wilcox and Baldwin (and DeRuyter), but play calling is NOT what is holding us back.

I'm just glad we weren't aggressive and thus didn't try and do anything with our last possession of the first half at midfield with three times out... because god forbid that could have turned out poorly and really turned the game.

We've lost our composure. This just looks sloppy. SC playing with passionthat was supposed to be our edge.

Well this is fun, watching Cal get prison raped by Clay Helton in his last year at SC. Can't wait for the Urban Meyer version next year.

Baldwin's playcalling isn't good but I can't blame him for this one. We just got hammered in all facets.
