Had I rated the game, I would've ended up in the Old Blues for the first time...
I wouldn't be able to give the offense anything above a 75 after scoring *3 points* the entire second half against this Colorado team.
Yes, they went vanilla. Firstly, they need to get in the habit of playing 4 quarters, given recent history. Secondly, Colorado is bad enough that we should be able to get at least 1 TD drive using even "vanilla" offense.
Still, a win is a win and I'll take it. I still favor the Beavs this week, but hoping for the upset.
Hopefully we can beat OSU. I'm surprised I ended up in the Old Blue category, usually it is the VOR for me. The keys to victory include shutting down the running attack of the Beavs and getting them into 3rd and long situations. It will be nice to see if our defense has turned a corner and will play with the aggressiveness and confidence that it did against Colorado.
Per Wilcox presser, the intent was to keep scoring in the second half ~ they didn't take the pedal off of the metal. So, what is concerning is the continued lack of consistency of the offense. As a fan it is frustrating to watch given the large number of "experienced" players on O. Hell if the OL doesn't have their technique down by now, will they ever get it?
54.6% chance to beat OSU seems pretty high to me.

Hope springs eternal! Go Bears!

I've never ever ever ever ever been the most negative Cal fan before. Usually people think I'm a sunshine pumper.
