Game was closer than expected. Defense played well. Offense moved the ball well at times and did it’s typical 2nd quarter disappearing act. It was nice to see CBrooks get some early and meaningful carries.
Hopefully we finally get a Pac 12 win next weekend at home but I think we are going to be in for a close game.
Offensive penalties and zero points off of turnovers. Dismal. These are BIG reasons for our loss but it doesn't seem to be discussed.
It would be helpful if one of our beat writers could ask Wilcox, "What is the status on Hearns and when did he get injured (presumably during the bye week)?"
The OL is the main reason this season has been a failure. Craig is a flop, Cindric is JAG, and the fact that there's been six years of discourse on Daltoso is failure enough. Coleman is solid, but 1/5 guys on the line being "solid" is horrible in Year 5. Johnson looks like he can't break through, and Driscoll also looks like JAG. If Swinney/Lange both aren't starting next year, it's time to say adios to McClure. It's what we needed this year to even hit 6-6.
Every coach too needs to be hitting the portal ASAP. There's not a single position that can't get a talent upgrade. If we trot out a similar lineup to this year next year, even healthier, we won't be much better than 6-6.
I know many here can't stand him, but I think I was having more fun watching games when Sonny was our coach. I didn't feel the sense of doom, I felt that victory was possible.
In other news, I'm able to post here, although I wasn't able to post in Leland's redone football thread. Or the second half thread. Keep working on it guys! Thanks.
Very tough loss and one of the hardest to stomach in the Wilcox era because victory was so close. A moral victory probably, but that is hard to accept when you are 1-5. The kids played hard though in front of a national TV audience, so there's that. If we had been blown out the seat would probably be considerably hotter for Wilcox.

Colorado smothered Arizona 37-0. May not be the cake walk remedy for snakebit Cal.
So Spencer Rattler will more than likely be hitting the transfer portal in the next week or so, we should try to get him.

If we lose to Arizona this season, we are going to have to Tucson Tarmac Wilcox.

I was happy to see some youngsters get playing time on defense. They looked more athletic and tackled better. Bimage needs to be on the field!
