Reading this well written recap of Saturday's game, I am reminded that bad or burned out head coaches do not get better with time (see Joe Kapp 85-86, Tom Holmoe 99-2000 and Jeff Tedford 2013.) Wilcox is dead man walking, but it's the longest walk from the cell to the chamber in the history of college football.

I fully expect Cal to lose all of the next five games to ranked opponents because all those teams have to do is stack the box and shut down Jayden Ott to win. Oregon State held Ott to 20 yards last year and romped to their most decisive win of the year. I think Cal's best chance for a win is against Utah, assuming that Cam Rising is not suiting up. If you watched the Oregon State-Utah game Friday night, you saw a Utah quarterback who is a mirror image of Sam Jackson: terrible footwork in the pocket, locking on primary receivers and jamming missile throws into tight coverage. If I'm Spav, I am dusting off my resume with an escape plan to get out of Dodge on the evening of Nov. 25.
