Right. But then if they score a TD you only need another FG to go up 9. That would force UCLA to score twice in the last couple minutes of the game.kaplanfx said:But it only puts you 13 up. If you miss here they still need 2 TDS to win. It's not that bad a call.dimitrig said:

You'd think we are giving up touchdowns at a ridiculous rate
Chase should have run it there
Not at all. Particularly at that distance. He just gave up a sure 3 points.GoOoOoOoOoBears! said:
Can someone tell me why we did that? Is our FG kicking that bad?
HoopDreams said:
ok, bad call
Think Wilcox called it. But the play drawn up was bad as well. Should have gone for the 6-8 yarder.
It was the right call to go for it.
Really terrible mistake unless our FG kicker is injured. Inexplicable otherwise.
Wilcox know that even if they don't make it, UCLA will get the ball on their own 10? Field position and a good defense is real old school.
Is our kicker hurt? Why go for it there?
If we lose by 3 I will lose my mind!
I think that decision was largely because Thomas has been shadky - even on extra points.
If we lose in OT after UCLA scores 10...
The only worse thing would have been to call the TO only to ice the kicker. That was terrible. As was the decision to abandon the run with Brown. Nuts. Baldwin is a liability.
Has Baldwin ever ran 3 run plays up the middle?Gkhoury2325 said:
I don't like the call from Wilcox, but I understand that he wants to put them away now. Should of ran the ball 3 times up the middle. UCLA is about to quit. Takers need to make another play. Let's Goooooooo!
Fox can cool it now with the bright red "breaking news" alerts about the Rutgers head coach job. Of the two Rutgers fans, one is asleep and the other saw the news the first 30 times they highlighted it.
I hope the decision won't matter a bit.

Run play was working so well - this is on Baldwin.
I have not been a Baldwin, fan , but cant blame that decision on him.
I question the play calling up to that. Dumb calls.
So do I!JollyBear said:

Great sack by Goode!
Okay. No more penalties the rest of the game. We can do this.
Cal is trying to give this game away to UCLA.
This is looking like a mini UCLA vs WSU unless Cal stops with the stupid.
No. It's not damned if he does or doesn't. There are identifiable reasons why that play call sucked and I just called it out. Crushing them up front with the OL and Brown and they do that. Come on.CALiforniALUM said:Cave Bear said:
Crushing them up front and Baldwin calls that crap
Come on. If he runs it or he doesn't it's crap if it doesn't work and "" if it does.
That's a bill**** call for sure on the roughing the passer.
Seriously - I get the kicking call though it could have been let go. But that roughing call is awful. The refs go out of their way to affect the game.

Almost as annoying as Vereen's coat
that was a four man rush
So nice to see Maldonado improving!

DTR is taking a beating. To his credit, he's not Rosen-ing it.

Stay with what is working, or variations and counters off of it. I think he has AADD.
DTR can now start his offseason.
didn't DTR have a concussion last week?
he hit his head hard on the turf

Great Maldonado made up for that bs roughing call with that sack.
How close can a defender be to the punt returner? He was standing right next to him.
