Feel bad for remigio. He's the team member who does great work and still ends up with an F on the project because the rest of the group was too busy getting high.
I forgot who said it but someone said our 1st ranked rush D was phony because we hadn't played anyone good on O the last month. Tonight sure showed it. 282 rush yards on us good lord.
That was easily the worst half we've played under Wilcox. We've had other bad halves, but we had excuses for those. Today we just got run out of the stadium by a team that's nothing special.
I guess part of it is how long you've been watching. Since 2001-ish for me. There were a few epic losses in that time where we looked like an FCS team.
But it feels like we rarely showed much promise inside the seasons with which those occurred, like we do with Wilcox. That's whats so frustrating about him the last 2 maybe 3 years. Completely, I mean entirely different Cal teams show up from week to week. You never know which unit is going to shit the beg, while other units look stellar. They rotate sucking and playing well.. And then every once in a while, they all come together. And every once in a while, they all play like shit at the same time.
Always a problem when Daniel Scott seemed to be making every play on defense. Why is Lic Bequette still on the field? He never makes plays. Give the young kids a chance.
f'ing pathetic lmao. Garbers looking like a mix of scared Derek Carr and TJ Finley for Auburn today. Not even so much an effort to throw the damn ball under pressure.
Told everyone at the furd tailgate. Not that they are that much better, it was just the style that killed it. We match up horrifically with them at every level.
The difference is coaching. Kelly and ucla run a power spread, that is easy to learn. We run a complex and old school pro style offense that is hard to learn. If we ran a power spread we would be in this game since our strength is our running game.
The more I hear about this power spread the more I think I like it. I feel like I've been conditioned to think there is only pro style or air raid and nothing in between...
They broke our will after 2.5 quarters.. but I agree with Architron 79000 to an extent that they didnt blow the doors off us from the start, like one of those epic Oregon or USC beat downs of times past.
All those years stanfurd put a smart and physical team on the field with tough academic standards. Hope cal can do that one day. Fear Wilcox won’t recruit those players not will he ever attract the talent tedford did
Please lord move on. He is not a good passing QB. Bottom quartile in D1 at best. Good instincts and running ability behind a mediocre line. We really need a good passing QB who can find tigers over the middle. Give Milner the start last game…nothing to lose!
Definitely - next time I'm down there I'll hit you up. I'll get you my info.
I came home yesterday morning....breezed through LA (surprisingly) but it took me 130 minutes to get from HWY 134/101 interchange to Santa Barbara...FML? It usually take an hour.
Feel bad for remigio. He's the team member who does great work and still ends up with an F on the project because the rest of the group was too busy getting high.
Just dont match up well. Slow vs fast never works.
Not the issue. We completely neglected to cover a receiver.
Kelly owns Wilcox.
He sure does.
Tho we did steal '19 at UCLA, right? Did DTR play in that game tho?
He did but then he got injured at the end of the game.
That UCLA team was a heartless bunch too....no bowl for them that year, team had quit...IIRC now....
Yep, they were done at that point in the season and they still gave us a bit of a game.
We’ll always have last week?
I forgot who said it but someone said our 1st ranked rush D was phony because we hadn't played anyone good on O the last month. Tonight sure showed it. 282 rush yards on us good lord.
The whole conference has been so bad that none of these in-conference stats really mean anything this year.
just got opened right up
I have seen a lot of bad cal football. That second half is right up there.
That was easily the worst half we've played under Wilcox. We've had other bad halves, but we had excuses for those. Today we just got run out of the stadium by a team that's nothing special.
Well said...just overmatched by an athletic, physically superior & confident defense.
pretty consistently against UCLA these past few years (2018 blowout, 2020 COVID surprise, today)
Chip knows how to twist the knife
Yep, I remember feeling especially pissed after the 2018 game
I think it's just one of many terrible Cal football I've seen, and I don't really distinguish any of them.
I guess part of it is how long you've been watching. Since 2001-ish for me. There were a few epic losses in that time where we looked like an FCS team.

This is a huge reality check. Some of us thought we might actually beat all three California schools in the same season.
Nope....needed the Arizona game....Cal hasn't swept the CA schools since the Eisenhower administration (I believe....fact check?)
A Wilcox-led O was not going to be the first to do it....
Not since 1958. And people thought that THIS was the team that would finally do it?
f'ing pathetic lmao. Garbers looking like a mix of scared Derek Carr and TJ Finley for Auburn today. Not even so much an effort to throw the damn ball under pressure.
Told everyone at the furd tailgate. Not that they are that much better, it was just the style that killed it. We match up horrifically with them at every level.
Exactly...Kelly schematically has Wilcox's number
I like Allen's hands A LOT
Excellent T Rex imitation tonight.
By the numbers, ucla is pretty easily the worst pass D in the conference. We are averaging like 4 yards per attempt to go along with two picks.
what a quick turnaround. wow. hope we keep it up. and good call by alpha!
Two TDs in two minutes feels pretty dang good
Lets get more
Unreal.
Run....the.....football
Good thing screens coming now.
Musgrave has finally adjusted.
So for the 63rd year in a row we won't beat our three rivals in the same season. Shit!
Thank you - Eisenhower was president, no?
Cold reality check here folks
The difference in athleticism and speed between these two teams is staggering.
The difference is coaching. Kelly and ucla run a power spread, that is easy to learn. We run a complex and old school pro style offense that is hard to learn. If we ran a power spread we would be in this game since our strength is our running game.
The more I hear about this power spread the more I think I like it. I feel like I've been conditioned to think there is only pro style or air raid and nothing in between...
I don’t agree. They have a better QB and better RB. Its not like they boat raced us.
What game are watching, Arch?
They broke our will after 2.5 quarters.. but I agree with Architron 79000 to an extent that they didnt blow the doors off us from the start, like one of those epic Oregon or USC beat downs of times past.
No, but they're bigger, stronger and faster than us at pretty much every position.
Take away the muffed kickoff, and this game is decidedly non-competitive
Sacked with a 3 man rush.
4 but agree
Ya, the LB that actually got the sack wasn't on the LOS but he did put pressure on... but the 3 man rush flushed Garbers
Just awful.
Garbers is not sharp today
100%. Not good
we need to stop them from scoring another TD this game if only so they stop doing that shit with the lights
I noticed they were doing this same stupid thing at Fresno
Excellent defense by the turf.
Momentum moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
- Ferris Bueller
What a bonanza!
Garbersmode
ROLL ON YOU BEARS!!!
Roll on you Bears!......
yeah thank god for that remigio catch on 3rd and 14
That was a great catch and a good pass by Garbers. I was afraid it was going to get picked or that the defender would knock it our of Remigios hands.
Stick with the run Musgrave!! Don’t get cute with the passing game and trying to force it.
This please
Rutchena!
Flying around real physical.
Defense still looking good
All those years stanfurd put a smart and physical team on the field with tough academic standards. Hope cal can do that one day. Fear Wilcox won’t recruit those players not will he ever attract the talent tedford did
Those Stanford teams were physically dominant in the trenches on both sides...they controlled the LOS. Their OL never got overwhelmed like this....
Well at least we also get chase back next year. No way this game helps his NFL prospects
Chase just signed a 4 year extension, he's a done deal for the next 4 years.
Chase is the blessing and the curse. It’s true hostage situation right now for the Cal offense.
It's time to move on from Chase. He's had his chances in those program defining games and hasn't performed...
The biggest problem is we haven't had anyone challenge even close to Garbers ability.
Please lord move on. He is not a good passing QB. Bottom quartile in D1 at best. Good instincts and running ability behind a mediocre line. We really need a good passing QB who can find tigers over the middle. Give Milner the start last game…nothing to lose!
Garbers may decide that he just wants to take his degree and get on with his life.
Chase should go to a school that will use him correctly and recognize what he is, an RPO dual threat QB with limited arm talent
He would be great in the ucla power spread.
maybe even take his talents to South Beach
I think he would be great at SDSU.
Wait, NFL? Garbers???
He was never leaving early
Hey I'm trying to find positives, lol
Beat furd one more time!
Remember when we were leading, 14-10? That was fun.
Yeah… only one actual scoring drive of more than 20 yards this game.
True. Brutal. Offense was so bad I just don’t get it.
Those were the good old days
I don’t see how you can blame Garbers for all of this. It’s a team sport!
This is 4 down territory now. Please run the ball Musgrave.
Brooks is averaging 5 yards per carry.
RUN. THE. BALL.
Seriously. WTF
Garbers is awful tonight. Brutally bad....wha' happened.
Should we put in Glover?
NEVER...he should be manning a radar tower in Alaska....mail him his clothes.
Sadly he is the best we have.
I'm praying he returns for his 8th season
You and me both.
Pressure
There is static pressure, dynamic pressure, and stagnation pressure
geology is the study of pressure and time
Terrible punt. Shoulda gone for it after the offsides.
1 play and they're at midfield....no bueno
You see a commercial that is old and tired...
You see we have no budget.
So, we staying here for the second half?
Much like the start of the FS1 game stream, it could be happening and you would never know it.
I hope so.
I'm gonna stay here, howling at the moon...don't mind me.....
Are you in SD? If so, we should meet up to watch a game.
Definitely - next time I'm down there I'll hit you up. I'll get you my info.
I came home yesterday morning....breezed through LA (surprisingly) but it took me 130 minutes to get from HWY 134/101 interchange to Santa Barbara...FML? It usually take an hour.
Ouch, my brother drove home from Folsom yesterday after being up there with the in laws and he said it was brutal on the road.
Ok, room for improvement but we're absolutely still in this. Getting a stop on the first drive will be crucial though.
well, looks like we won't have to worry about WIlcox's end of first half clock management
Looks like you might yet
Lol
Love how D is always trying to strip
nice pressure
Woohoo!!!
I'm so relieved we got the TD there. Would've been crushing not to capitalize on that great field position.
I agree.
ptsd from blocked punt
The one that turned into a first down?
we have not been capitalizing on turnovers or great field position all year, so i was afraid too
Just run
And get the FG if that doesn't work. But it should work.
Cal 19 > UCLA 19
FIRE RAGLE!
Special teams!!
Bears O looks unprepared for the UCLA pressure
How do we look this unprepared against ucla?! Are we blaming this one on Covid again?
