Sac State better than Colorado confirmed. A nice chill game where we didn't have to stress too much. Would like to see more benchwarmers in there and some better desire from some of these WR's who look a step slow. Other than that, I'm ready for a 27-24 type game against Oregon State.
First step on our six-game winning streak (seven if you count the bowl win). This will, of course propel us to a conference championship in 2022. Also a really fun day for the intimate gathering at Memorial Stadium, only us die hards there but we got a good show. Holding any opponent to three points is an achievement.
The biggest surprise today for me was Wilcox being aggressive at the end of the first half. He was probably so juiced up to get a comfortable enough lead to be able to shut things down at halftime, none of this feeling the need to score on the opening drive of the 2nd half before shutting it down business.
Some odd ball number crunching, this defensive performance singularly drought Cal's defensive points per game by 3.5 ppg, which moves them up in the rankings by 15 spots, and moves them from just below median to just above median in points allowed per game for college (pending the outcome of the other games today).
Nevada is averaging 36 ppg, and were held to 22.
TCU is averaging 37.2, and were held to 34.
Washington 23.1, and scored 31 (in OT).
Washington State 25.7 and were held to 21.
Oregon 33.8 and were held to 24.
Colorado 17.2 and were held to 3.
So teams are averaging, on average 6-7 points less per game. Are we being too harsh on the defense?
Great win by the Bears. On another subject I recognized the end of the UCLA - OR game. Great chance to tie, or win, the game with less than min left thwarted by a Garbers pass intercepted.

Even when we win, we find a way to lose. Jaxson Moi flips to furd.
Garbers/Hicks co MVP.
A complete team win. Offense, defense and special teams all played to their full potential.
Even if the opponent was Colorado, we still played well and to our potential.
My only nitpick would be we settled for to many FGs and we didn’t play the backup QB.

Chase very nearly outgained Colorado with his feet alone
