After a stinker at UC L.A., 0–1 California travels north to face 0–2 Oregon State. The Beavers have lost to the Cougars and Huskies by 10 and 6 points, respectively.

The clock management there really underscores some of the coaching issues we are seeing elsewhere. If you want to run a play instead of clocking it, that’s fine, but you can’t kill 7 seconds like that. That was totally inexcusable.
For such a smart school, Cal sure plays dumb

Longhetto can hit long FGs
Well, "Long" is right in his name!
TODAY I LEARNED!!
Yes...nice surprise
New nickname: 52cent
Cal gets ball after half. Ugly game but bears are up!
52 yards!!!!!
Wow
THAT WOULDA BEEN GOOD FROM FIFTY TWO AND HALF!
“Plenty of leg” according to the announcers! Haha!
NICE!!!!
52!
Wow! I was just gonna' ask.
My god!!! Drilled it!
I don't understand that playcalling.
Inexplicable play calling.
Kick it!
Who has faith in a 52 yarder?

Agree. Musgrave has to get up the learning curve.
Why is clock not stopping
Wake the hell up refs
Ref was correct. Time keeper not doing his job
FS1 production quality...
Why is the clock moving?!?
Home field advantage.
Awful P12 officials...that was 1st down on forward progress
Yellow line is off
They should get a first down. Crawford was obviously affected by the misplaced yellow line
Lol
Crawford is great today. I bet he will be injured next week
Based on what we’ve seen from Longhetto we need to cut it down to what, like a 45 yarder at most?
Play-by-play guy sounds like he's really enjoying himself
Refs are making shitty calls for nitpicky stuff.
Just get this thing to halftime guys.
No score some before halftime. We get the ball back
Clark and getting ridden out of bounds... name a more iconic duo
Tattersall is no good, man.
Wish Croteau was playing instead of him
Tattersall again. He is filling big shoes but a dumb penalty costs is 45 yards of field position.
Drayden
HOLY COW!
DRAYDEN REDEEMS HIMSELF
Happy to see this!
Drayden making up for the facemask in a BIG way!
REDEMPTION
Dammit!
Drayden with the missed tackle AND a face mask ugh
And he had plenty of guys around him to make the tackle and force the 4th down punt. Lack of field awareness. Kid has to get smarter.
Should've just pushed the guy out of bounds
So...the can't block #90 Johnson 1 on 1. UCLA had issues with him, too.
Brett Johnson is a beast. The kid has amazing strength and is fast twitch. Has a great base from his wrestling days as well.
Future is bright with him and Tevis
And maldonado if he can play
Tevis!
I really like what I am seeing from our young guys...bodes well for our future.
Given our propensity to give up huge plays. Not sure I love the aggressive timeouts.
Textbook.
Linear algebra
We gave up no points off that INT and scored a TD. I'll take it. Defense is looking much better this quarter.
UCLA, with backup QB, leading Oregon
I'm not ready for UCLA to be good
We should start Modster and beat oregon then
somehow not surprised...they had some mojo
This game should be 31-14 but we keep beating ourselves...glad to see that score there.
Cant have a bad redzone offense if you score from outside the redzone. Big Brain Musgrave over here.
Nice throw!!
What a pitch and catch!
Helluva throw!
A clean catch from Crawford?! Wow!
CRAWFORD
