The Game Plan & Game Management doomed us (Wilcox). SYR gave up 330 yards rushing to BC last week so of course we came out slinging the ball instead of using the run to set up passing. Two quick INTs later and we were doomed. At one point in Q2 I looked at time of possession and it was:

SYR 16:39
CAL. 3:29
We know our Defense wears down late in games, so, instead of controlling the clock early, we pissed away the game. That’s why we couldn’t get off the field when trying to rally. Not accepting a 15yd face mask penalty and allowing SYR to kick a FG was the dumbest decision yet in a season dominated by stupid coaching.
I listened to Wilcox post game interview and he had no ideas or explanations. It’s alarming, as he does everything but look in the mirror when pointing fingers. He’s a very decent guy, but he’s clueless and never learns from mistakes as he never acknowledges making any. Time’s up on this regime.
Yep. Good points. Problem is this Cal team can not run the ball on anyone…the Cal OL is one of the weakest units in all of P4, regardless of position. They’ve already given up more sacks than all of last year. Further complicating matters is the fact that Cal gets nothing in the run game from their WRs…they are virtually useless blocking out on the edge. Coaching matters…and we don’t have one. The results of Bloesch pulling double-duty as OC/OL coach have been predictably awful, and that is entirely on Justin Wilcox.
As for the postgame interviews with Wilcox: the issues referenced are the exact same in year 8 as they were in year 1, yet you see a coach that so very clearly has NO idea how to fix these problems. Accountability, or lack there of, is one thing, but so too is the fact that the coaching staff has no clue how to address these problems. THAT’S a problem.
