Better than last week but ultimately another depressing loss. Holy shit are we BAD on offense! With our current O-line, Plummer is nothing but a tackle dummy. We just don't have the O-line to keep Plummer upright and allow the receivers to get open. As if the news couldn't get worse, the Furd has now won two in a row and Oregon State DESTROYED Colorado, making us look truly pathetic. Prepare for six losses in a row.

4-8 is the new ceiling. Maybe we beat Furd but that's it.

Continuously calling plays that require 5 and 7 step drops is a puzzler.

When you drop 5 or 7 steps, those throws 2 yards past LOS look like a long pass

Jimmy: You are 100% right! I kept thinking the same thing. It only works if the wide-receivers can get open and the o-line gives the QB time to throw. I don't know why Musgrave doesn't design some plays to roll out the QB or throw quick passes. He seems like a bit of a dinosaur but Wilcox will stick with him through the end of the season.

Where's the screen game?

Where's the 3-step drop?

Where are the quick slants?

Where are designed roll outs?

Where is moving of the pocket?

There was one slant in the Redzone to Sturdivant which should have been a TD with a catch.

It wasn't by design but a roll out got our first TD.

Need to do them more often.

It's going to be harder and harder to compete in the P12 when you're constantly outgunned at the QB position. Plummer is the 11th best starting QB in the League. Can't win with that.

It speaks poorly on Wilcox that he has failed to develop a QB in his tenure.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Whiffing on 2 OC hires speaks poorly. Does he get a chance at a 3rd? Does he do any better if so?

These are the questions.

Watching this offense is like pulling teeth. It should not be like this. Heads need to roll. QB change should be made. There is talent on this offense yet our offense resembles an 0-12 team with a bare cupboard.

Plummer should be pulled to protect his long term health anyway. The season is over so let Millner play

Maybe the O line is that bad after all...I thought they had some decent players, but this ineptitude is tough to swallow.

Why TF isn't Musgrave in the booth? How much can he actually see from the sideline? He is not Andy Reid.

He can't big mystery also Plummer was trying to talk to him on the sidelines and Musgrave was making hand gestures. Plummer looked pissed.

It looks like Buhs defense but this is year 6 with a bunch of experienced players and not a lot of injured on offense.

Yet another winnable game had the offensive play-calling been remotely competent for a full game. Hats off to the defense - they were clearly gassed the entire second half yet tried the best they could.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

And the D would not have been gassed by 4th quarter and give up two TDs.

Expand full comment
Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

D has now played well enough to win in all 4 losses.

With even an average O, we likely win @ ND and @ Colorado, and maybe this game. Could easily be 5-2, but for complete futility.

IMHO. Being happy with an occasional bowl year and Furd win is what sets us up for continued mediocrity. Honestly, UC Berkeley needs to shit or get off the pot. I am tired of another half-ass P5 football effort.

O-line is bad, no doubt about it.

But Jack Plummer is not the answer. He's not a Pac 12 QB.

No point in playing Plummer the rest of the season. No bowl so may as well see what Milner or the other QBs have.

This team is a disaster. Everyone on the offensive staff should be fired immediately. The longer we wait the more transfers we’ll endure.

Expand full comment
Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Hoping this O returns intact is wishful thinking, I fear.

Given the proliferation of the NIL and the transfer portal, it would be a wonderful surprise to get everyone back. Unfortunately, we're likely looking at another year of Jack Plummer, and I think many of us have seen enough.

So, Plummer gets the message at halftime to get the ball out quick. And then forgets his instructions on the last game critical drive and puts himself in a 3rd and LONG where the D pins back their ears and comes. OK.
