I’m very used to the Garbers underthrown PI. The over throw PI is a new innovation

Worst coached game I have ever seen. oops since Holmoe.

What’s so tough to swallow about this game is how winnable it was. Coaching cost us this game.

Toinges was wide open underneath.

They have a GREAT kicker.

We seem to have zero want for any explosive plays at least from the passing game.

Ugh...one thing for the Cal offense to be ineffective, but now it's making mistakes.

Garbers needs to get his head out of his ass. I guess he was told by the coaches not to look for running lanes anymore. Don't know if this has his head screwed up. He looked confused on those last three worthless possessions. Nevada is going to stack the box the rest of the game unless Garbers steps up and makes some downfield throws. And along the way, he needs to keep the defense honest by finding some running lanes for first downs.

Fire Musgrave!! Too soon??

I liked Beau Baldwins offense better than Musgrave's.

I’m no expert but they could never stop the run so we threw the heck out of it just to show them.

Musgrave is doing the right thing. The announcers know nothing abut football. UNR has been stacking the box with 7 and playing a loose press. Going deep forces them to back off the box and will allow us to run the ball effectively again.

I think it stops and starts with the QB on offense. Chase doesnt have "it". I'd like to see Milner come in and provide a spark.

Feels like a must win if want to go bowling this year.

Worst loss of the Wilcox era. No one in my section could figure what Musgrave was trying to do. We run the ball well and then he switches to idiotic calls of 4 yard pass plays. Chase has regressed. Musgrave should be fired tomorrow. Can't even complete a single pass down the field without having it picked off. I've now lost faith in Wilcox with two straight bonehead OC hires. I hope we do the right thing and fire Wilcox if he can't do better than 5-7 this season, painful as it might be. Entering his fifth year he is 1-4 in his last 5 games.

Can we finally agree we need to find a better QB than Garbers? Please!?! He has not improved whatsoever under a new OC. He can’t throw downfield, he cannot throw under pressure.

Worst coaching EVER! Wilcox should be ashamed and apologize to the team.

Fire Charlie Ragle tomorrow. He is NOT a Special Teams coach, period.

We have talented players. Our coaching is letting us down.

And where did Brooks disappear to? Injury?

That was an absolute shit-show. Fire Musgrave now! The offensive play calling was absolutely rock-bottom after the first quarter. What does Musgrave have against the run? Same thing last year against Oregon State. Cal has the ball first and goal inside the nine yard line with all of its timeouts and on first down he calls for a PASS?!?! Ball deflected, intercepted and that's it. I think that Musgrave's best days are behind him. Also, on the defensive side of the ball, we couldn't get any pressure on Strong. I wonder if we are going to miss 'Root a lot more than we think. Uggghh....Shoot me now.

We got spanked by a MWC team that’s been living out of a bus for 3 weeks because they got smoked out of their stadium. What an absolute joke.

Absolutely dismayed with Musgrave's offense and play calling.

Well, my yearly optimism has been crushed. At least I don’t have to stay up late for the games this year.

The defense played well enough to win, the offense didn't.

Bears are going to get a win. Sac state is coming. I hear they are only a little worse than Washington.

Not great, Bob

What do you guys think, maybe a bubble pass, then a designed QB run, followed by a deep ball and pray for a PI?

Expand full comment

This is it.

Okay for the love of god, run the ball now. I don’t care if they have 8 in the box. Run it down their throat and win the game.

MOORE AND BROOKS!!

4 mins left, but lets just throw it three times behind the los

Musgrave must hate Cal fans

Could go for another 9 min TD drive

He was on the white line of the endzone when he caught that. It should come out to the 25.

Whooo we needed that! Now just don’t let it turn into a safety….

I understand a freshman missing that pass. Not a guy in his 4th year

Nice touch chase

Be better garbers.

We’ve reached the part of an FS1 broadcast where they teach us about rice.

Gamble looks like he just gave up. At least try to jump for the ball maybe?

Expand full comment

For everyone who said last season didn't matter.....well, it mattered. Cal is picking up right where they left off. UCLA looked great late last season and just showed they are picking right up where they left off. Except in a good way.

that's a fumble not incomplete

Daltoso is getting his ass kicked on pass pro.

Expand full comment

Why did we decline the penalty? 10 yards would have knocked them out of FG range

Expand full comment

Seemed like Moore wasn't running for the sticks. What the heck?

Expand full comment

Not sure about the play calling right now.

Expand full comment

Another three and out. That penalty doesn't count.

Expand full comment

Calm down. We need a little better pass protection, and all is well.

Expand full comment

Offense blowing hot and cold again, not much explosiveness and the line in particular has been inconsistent. The defense was pretty sound except for the one bust.

Expand full comment

DBs got owned. No pressure on qb. #21 to small and way too slow. Garbers inaccurate. Did they even throw to the TE? I’ve sat thru 47 years of this shit now. Always some excuse. Punter must have averaged 35 yds gross. PK can’t hit at 40. Yds. I’ve got better way to spend my Saturday. Just don’t care anymore. Maybe time to move on.

It is time for Wilcox to go. He is 0-2 in hiring OCs. Special teams are still and under him. He is like Tedford, just without all the winning.

Expand full comment

Could have/should have run for 300 yds tonight.

I've never said it on this blog before, but I will say it now. Wilcox is AT BEST a career 500 coach. I don't understand all the fawning over him. The man has an 11-20 record in the Pac 12 and got extremely lucky playing a bunch of weak non conference teams when he started. He does not understand the offensive side of the ball and has now made two bad OC hires. I've never seen Garbers look more confused. Did he complete a pass all night over 10 yards?

Expand full comment

Hire Tedford for OC?
