In pre game warmups it was obvious that Cal came out "flat" for this game. A lot of the players were being lazy during drills by not going full speed on pass routes, just going through the motions on blocking drills, walking to the next drill by some of them, and worst of all their team run out on the field before kickoff was so blasé. This can happen after a big emotional win and you think you have a pushover opponent coming up.
Agree with Willis Chong. This was simultaneously a hangover game, post-Auburn, and a trap game, pre-FSU. Cal had a blah first half but didn't do anything tragic, then righted the ship. You can't be 100% on fire every moment of every game. I'm sure the guys will be pumped up for tomorrow and the coaches will have the game prep all set.
