50 points sounds bad but SC had 17 possessions not counting the kneeldown at the end, and SC had ridiculous field position all day: two of their TD drives covered 22 and 18 yards, and two others started on our end of the field.
A defense doesn’t just have to let them score a TD after each turnover. They could get their own turnover or force them to settle for a FG. Our defense doesn’t get much pressure so we don’t get many sacks or turnovers.

I'm ready to rate the bears lol
Only way Cal loses this game is how they did it.
Typical Wilcox man.
Not necessarily; could have lost it in the 3rd OT as well.
Oregon state and wazzu demand a review of pac 12 officiating!
Cal: Always finding new ways to break my heart!
Why not just take our chances in OT? I get being aggressive…but, why after that jolt of momentum?
You don’t go for 2 at home with a minute left. Idiotic Wilcox move. Maybe with :18 left, but not :58.
Our kickers are completely unreliable. I think going for 2 was the right call.
It’s a dumb decision. We are at home and the offense was playing well. Go to OT and try to win it there.
D was spent.
This, more than likely USC gets into position to win it on a FG either way, so you'd rather have the lead. I'm fine with the call.
Your asking for intelligent coaching, where probable outcomes are considered in decision making.
Not a satisfying way to end this relationship.
Game was better and closer than I thought it would be but another loss with Wilcox.
Defense is a disaster. Way too many turnovers.
Defense actually played well. Without turnovers USC has 21 or 28 less points.
50 points sounds bad but SC had 17 possessions not counting the kneeldown at the end, and SC had ridiculous field position all day: two of their TD drives covered 22 and 18 yards, and two others started on our end of the field.
Sure but giving up 50 points is still not good. Have to make them settle for FGs.
The defense didn't give up 50. the offense handed them half of that

This was just like the Auburn game. We beat ourselves, full stop.
It's especially frustrating to lose to the assholes who blew up the conference and their ridiculously overrated coach.
Also, their band still sucks.
ooof
Cal-ed it
Tough loss. Night all.
Everyone have a good night
Tough lost ...
Hello Oregon Ducks; how can we be of service?
Cal snatches defeat from the jaws of victory for the millionth time this eon
Its something the Bears are good at.
But the Bears did cover. There is that.
When I was an undergrad (87-90) we used to chant 'beat the spread'.
Gave it away with fumbles
sC should drop out of top 25
yes
That older announcer really wants to fuck Caleb Williams. He's just gaga over him.
Mas Tequila
can't win with 4 TOs
Once again….sigh. $&#@(*&$
THIS WAS OFFICIATED SO LOPSIDED ITS RIDICULOUS FUCK P12 refs
Officiating isn't even on the front page of the list of things to be concerned about for Cal in this one.
Four PI calls on USC.
Four Cal turnovers, more like it.
Paraphrasing Chevy Chase/ SNL/Weekend Update: “Repeating today’s top story- Justin Wilcox is STILL the Cal Football head coach”😒
Can someone explain to me why we used that timeout????
To try to get the play right. Wilcox reduced the entire afternoon to 1 play, win or lose. Nothing else mattered.
I guess
yes, as someone said, this is one of most Cal games ever
Yep.
It was a bad play call despite the Pi. 2 receivers in pretty much the exact same area. Wtf.
PI to the max! Fuckin refs.
Not even in an alternate universe with different rules.
That was PI but the refs were too pussy to call it
Why TF you go for 2 with a minute left?
Tooooo Bad
18 is holding
Thanks, Wilcox!
That play works if no PI. Refs fucked the dog on that call.
Why burn that timeout????
Fuck you 18
Wilcox has nothing to lose, he isn’t getting fired so just go for it.
Why go for 2 with a minute left? Idiotic.
We runnig. Out of players
Guess that makes sense.
Except the game.
Wilcox is used to that, fans should be as well.
I need/don’t need this
Rethinking??? Or a different play call
omg, he is goign for it
Fuck yeah!!!
Go for two or quit
Not just one but TWO screens worked on this drive??
He is going for 2
HERE WE GO. FOR ALL THE MARLBLES
they're going for two
With our FG issues I don't like the idea of OT.
That has been fixed
OMG
TD bears!!!!!!
ott would've scored there, but good run young fella
who called thomas!
Agreed! I saw some said that earlier, too
Yeah finally Williams Thomas with a nice run
Wowza!
