Any else watching the 12 Greatest Cal Football Players.?

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Is Starling ever going to be healthy enough to play?

Justbear's avatar

I already forgot about him

Bob Dole's avatar

Idaho will be good. Really like that team

Hate our WR play, no separation . I’m not really sure if it’s sjv or Finley who should be getting the start at this point.

Stop kicking field goals

Spav needs to coach with more balls. Play calling doesn’t seem close to how we played in 2016

Love our RB’s and LB’s

Rugbear's avatar

CAL has had problems with slow starts...need to sort that out.

WilderThanGene's avatar

We won our Superbowl! See you all next Fall!

CalGal2004's avatar

Ooh. - fired the cannon. Now that’s a sound we haven’t heard frequently! Go Bears!

Bluehenbear's avatar

Are FG not reviewable?

cheeksbossman's avatar

Doesn’t seem like Spav has much faith in SJVs arm and our WRs haven’t been getting much separation which is where we miss J Mike. Glad we got the win but conference play might be ugly.

Justbear's avatar

I was hoping Hightower to be the tall receiver who can catch contested balls

WilderThanGene's avatar

I was hoping Starling would be healthy and be a dominant big-man possession receiver, like a TE body playing WR

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Only Hunter does that.

WilderThanGene's avatar

Yet we seem to prefer to throw to him short so he can muscle out 4-5 yard gains

Bluehenbear's avatar

Looked good to me. Wtf refs

Yes it had an angle. But it looked left after it already passed over the cross bar.

Justbear's avatar

Ok let's win the game with an interception

CalGal2004's avatar

Shucks

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

That FG actually looked good.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

He still needs to hit the center. It was hooking left,

Maestro's avatar

He fell off the horse

CalGal2004's avatar

Nah just slipped a stirrup. 😉

GoldenSD81's avatar

Not good.

Justbear's avatar

Boo

KetamineCal's avatar

Awww

WilderThanGene's avatar

I dont know about Sam Jackson anymore. I think I finally understand what people were talking about in regards to the gap between us and most of the Pac 12 in QB play. I think I like him as a change of pace with designed runs and play action but not the starter.

GoldenSD81's avatar

Yeah, I’m a bit iffy on him as a passer right now. I hope it is just inexperience and he will improve.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

He gives you something you don’t have with the legs, but he needs to run more to win. He’s not gonna beat you from the pocket.

Go Eat A Taco's avatar

He won't make it through the season if part of the game plan is to run him frequently / consistently.

Justbear's avatar

I think he still gives us the best chance to win.

GoldenSD81's avatar

12-23 for 108 yards against Idaho leaves a lot to be desired.

WilderThanGene's avatar

I feel like a combination of the two gives us the best chance.

PCWT's avatar

No separation from our wrs

WilderThanGene's avatar

Yeah this has been a problem for a long time, and unfortunately Burl Toler has been a common factor

WilderThanGene's avatar

I assumed Spav's offense was going to make it simple for receivers to be open and you dont necessarily need top end talent but that doesnt seem to have been the case

Justbear's avatar

Yea that's a disappointment

Justbear's avatar

More takeaways.

Our takers are LBs this year.

KetamineCal's avatar

The duck punt and the fumble. All according to plan

TD_24's avatar

Mavin Anderson out there with his first action of the day

sacman701's avatar

Another 4th down stop.

Justbear's avatar

Woodie does not need to intercept that but when we are this up, let's pad the stats.

KetamineCal's avatar

Looks like the ball is spotted back towards the line of scrimmage.

Rick Chen's avatar

going down as an incomplete

KetamineCal's avatar

Time to put this one away once and for all.

Wiata78's avatar

Finally a sack!

CalGal2004's avatar

All right, this generation of yell leaders needs a lesson on “HEY ALUMNI - GO!”

Wiata78's avatar

BEARS!

KetamineCal's avatar

Hearns walking back to sideline without help.

Justbear's avatar

Woodie got completely taken out

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Ref interference?

Sirmon had to run around the Umpire.

CalGal2004's avatar

That’s what we were saying in the stands. Moving screen!

KetamineCal's avatar

Where is everyone sitting today?

Wiata78's avatar

12th man blocker

KetamineCal's avatar

Did he move on the screen?

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Stayed planted became like a pick.

KetamineCal's avatar

Jermaine Jackson (football) playing like Jermaine Jackson (music) on that one.

Maestro's avatar

O/U 52.5, and now sitting at 48 points

Rick Chen's avatar

who bets the over on cal

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

He doesn’t struggle from that hash.

Maestro's avatar

Luckhurst got back up on that horse and gave a big Yeehaw

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

They’re gonna need him.

TD_24's avatar

good for Michael. Needed it and I hope it sets a pedestal for him to jump from

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

His trouble comes from the other hash…he’s pretty solid from that side.

It’s the other hash that he’s missing most of them.

Gobears512's avatar

Agreed - frustrating last game but hopefully this helps his confidence in the long term.

GoldenSD81's avatar

Woohoo!! We made a FG!!

sacman701's avatar

Looks like we actually made a field goal.

Justbear's avatar

Wow Luckhurst made a FG!!!?

KetamineCal's avatar

Hey, we made one!

CalGal2004's avatar

Yay Michael! 🏈

Rick Chen's avatar

Wow he made one

Wiata78's avatar

You are a minute or two ahead of me

Wiata78's avatar

might have a FG opportunity here...

Ryan's avatar

How do you get a 10 yard penalty and then have 1st and 18?

Rugbear's avatar

Finley makes quicker reads than V5, for now. But V5's ability means we need to give V5 time to learn, because when he learns to make those reads like Finley he will be scary good.

Gobears512's avatar

You're more insightful than I am but I completely agree... It seems to me that he has tremendous upside plus game breaking athleticism.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Not a great day for Vatikani, huh Rug?

Rugbear's avatar

He's had a rough year. Defenses have watched film and figured him out. He's big, strong and nasty, but needs a ton of work on his technique.

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Where’s Pawloski with the Stredick stock certificates?

CalGal2004's avatar

Roll on you Bears!

Rick Chen's avatar

Cal's 9th turnover of the season (they've had two today)

KetamineCal's avatar

Cal offense on the field so it's upheld.

Gobears512's avatar

Assuming the fumble holds up I'm always conflicted about these - on one hand I'm happy we get the ball (if we do), on the other hand WHY THE F#$#$ did they gain 11 yards in the first place!?

Jimmy Chitwood's avatar

Their receivers are legit and our DBs are struggling with leverage.

Gobears512's avatar

True. Just frustrating.

Wiata78's avatar

Another Taker event!
