I also believe that people will perform as others and themselves believe. When we talk about program progress, I weigh it from 1976 forward. We are winning, but it’s frustrating when we get so close to stealing an unexpected victory from such a highly ranked opponent.
I keep reminding myself of the odds and find consolation in that.
Lots of coaches under Wilcox have paid for these failures. We are on our 4th OC and 3rd OL coach during Wilcox’s tenure. Wilcox has held coaches on his staff responsible.
For what it's worth VT responded to its own ref-screwing against Miami by going across the country and stuffing Stanford into a locker. Furd isn't Pitt, though.
I forgot to mention that on outside zone blocking it requires each lineman on to perform a reach block which is easy for the defender to beat. It's a crappy block. Down blocks are easy and very effective.
Out coached in the 4th! Its like running the 100 meters and your out front for the first 60yds but then you tighten up and finish 3rd. Hopefully, we shake it off and learn from it and move on, get ready for Pitt. Another last year, Auburn moment. We are a good team just need some fine tuning! I feel for the kids and coaches, they left all of it on the field last week.
You know, if I was a gambler, Ward's style of treading water in the first half and exploding in the 4th quarter, would be my dream, since I would wait until the half time sports book and the skewed odds.
As to the Cal running game. All inside and outside zone plays are predicated on each guy occupying or beating the guy opposite him. I'm not a fan of this concept. I'd like to see more downs blocks and pulling and trapping and sometimes with a true fullback on lead plays after the trap has been done. On passing plays how about some boot legs after the fake on the lead trap. How about an inside zone fake and a quick Y pop and later fake the Y pop and hit a quick wheel. There could be so much more imagination in our offense.
From potentially 5-0 to possibly 3-3 and Wilcox’s 8th 3 games or more losing streak in a row.
It's hard to believe that we were THAT CLOSE to being 5-0!
Well-written, TD.
Good job representing us on media!
I believe it’s time to “burn the ships”,again.

At what point dies the coaching staff pay for these constant failures?

Has Wilcox been fired yet?

I’m dying.
You made my day as I imagine a smart-ass Furdie sitting uncomfortably, with a hang dog face, in his generously oversized, luxurious locker.

They gave it all, alright. We should be proud and I am.
NIL signings now loom large in any consideration of what makes for a football program's depth and overall strength.

Just sayin'.
My Spidey senses are clicking into overtime.
