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.

Expand full comment

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?

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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.

Our right tackle is complete garbage

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.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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

Welp that's not the result we wanted.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

O-line is bad, no doubt about it.

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

Not sure what QB can succeed with an O-line that can’t run or pass block

Well Vegas had it right

Not a blowout loss but still befuddling offense

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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

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.

Expand full comment

Isn't Plummer a one year rental as a grad transfer?

Expand full comment

Okay. Better than I expected. But...

Expand full comment

Why didn’t Plummer run there????

Expand full comment

Because he’s got 1 working knee and probably shouldn’t even be out there?

Expand full comment

Yeah he should have

Expand full comment

Who was he throwing that to?

Expand full comment

Good use of our time ref. Thanks.

Free timeout

Bro catch that come on

Yet another rotten Plummer play.

Either the clock is gonna run out or Plummer gets sacked 3x

3 sack

Expand full comment

Wait why did we use our timeout? Clock shouldn’t be running?

Expand full comment

We let 40 seconds run to save 25

😂

Expand full comment

They would’ve run 25 seconds. But now it’s 40

Whaaa?

Terrible holding call by ref but ill take it

Lol refs been good to us

Bless the ref

Goodnight everyone, talk to you on DBD,

Stay safe GBIII

Fuck me

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

Yep when the game was on the line he reverted

Expand full comment

Fire everyone. My god.

Expand full comment

This offensive line…

Expand full comment

Plummer is brutal. That sack was unacceptable.

Expand full comment

The first sack was 100% on Plummer. The 2nd one was just a disaster.

Expand full comment

That’s the one I’m talking about. Plummer is not an instinctual quarterback

Expand full comment

Pitiful

Expand full comment

What a dumb play call

Expand full comment

They sent 4 and all of them broke through.

You can’t scheme your way past that.

Expand full comment

The dagger was the sack he took on 1st down. Terrible play by Plummer.

Expand full comment

Was talking about 2nd down.

when did we use our first timeout in the 2nd half?

Before the short field trips on UW touchdown. It was the same formation apparently

just before UW scored the tug with trips to the short side of the field.

Adjusting the defense for the UW touchdown

Jackson Sermon is the General on the field...he's making the on field adjustments.

Expand full comment

Cal gets ball back!

Expand full comment

So what would we rather have: Non-existent offense in the first half and tired defense in the second like we're seeing now? Or functional offense in the first, but complete turtle in the second?

Play of the game coming right now.

Gotta get a STOP
