One thing I noticed about Garbers in those clips and other plays is he doesn’t seem to step into his throws or step up into the pocket. It almost seems like he is just throwing off his back foot and just using his arm strength and not using his hips to help generate velocity on his throws.
Gawd that play in #1 & 2 is weak, weak, weak. By dragging out the RB the LB crosses right in front of both receivers thereby taking away any hope of a quick slant completion. More likely it will be an INT. To keep those windows open don't drag out the RB. If you don't believe me go look at the tape. So this play effectively rules out one side of the field.
Also, when I reviewed the game it was appalling how many times we run routes where the receiver turns and faces the QB. Hard to get YACs when your back is to the defense!!
Did any coach do a good job? Perhaps the RBs, but EVERY group underperformed. This is a huge disappointment and a bad indicator for Wilcox when you consider:
- this is HIS program
- this is his staff
- his players, who have bulked up
- it was a home game
- to what should be an inferior program
- over a year to improve
There’s not much more he could have asked for, and yet, we shit the bed!
In attempt #2, it looks to me like Nikko has possesion but the ball is knocked loose, hence a fumble. Since the ball went out of bounds, I would have thought Cal maintains possession.
This is useful as I don't track these patterns during the game. Clearly, Garbers missed a lot of throws, but we also had poor receiver play. My biggest question was the seeming total absence of balls to the Tight Ends. After all we heard about TE's, and the studs we have, why can't we do what Reno did and use them in the middle of the field all day?
Combination of easy-to-predict plays on 3rd down and lack of execution by both QB and receivers. Gotta change this by Saturday.

Houston we have a problem.

All three of those incompletions were really painful. Poor execution can snowball on you.

Rough game for Garbers yikes
