Even for all of our issues, Cal was the better team. Gained more yards and first downs, held the ball longer, had fewer turnovers. We lost because we couldn't make field goals and because we got some bad calls going against us at critical times. Honestly, we should have been up by three scores at the half. That we weren't is what opened the door for Auburn to win.

The room for error is just so small under Wilcox. No matter how early, you just know in your bones when a "that just cost us the game" turn of events takes place. Yesterday, it happened very early. After that opening sequence, the only time I legitimately thought we'd win was for a few minutes when SJ5 provided that spark off the bench... Thinking that was the x-factor, that will make this different from the typical Wilcox experience.. a gamer qb will change the game...

I don't think so. We could have still failed 3 out of 4 missed FG opportunities last night and still would have been in position for a winning FG.
But if you play the game in reverse, your first mistake is your last
