Hard to come up with a remedy for this. But the problem is the offensive line and play calling. If we did change things up, maybe we would have less 3rd and 8's or 2nd and 10's. I am also not convinced that Plummer is the answer at QB. Does he really give us the best chance to win? He misses on the deep ball most of the time and makes bad passes into the flat. Maybe he doesn't get rattled after taking hits, though last week he was clobbered. I am not saying Millner is better but why not give him a quarter or half to gain some experience. The fact that we have not developed a quarterback in the Wilcox era is very problematic.
If we get ahead against Colorado, maybe give Millner a series or two at least. It's hard to see how Plummer will be able to stay vertical against UCLA, Oregon, and Washington defenses, so the threat of injury and relying on the 2nd string QB seems very real, at least to me.
I really appreciate all the clever ways this site can quantify and visualize just how painful it is to watch the Cal offense.
