My "head in the sand" approach after a game like this precluded me from participating. I guess I need to at LEAST do the recap....... Sigh...... someone better zero in on Jermar or it's gonna be ugly.
Cal is heavily anchored in Garbers' performance. When he's having a good day Cal wins, otherwise...
Yes, there were serious issues everywhere on the field - bad tackling, horrible blocking, bad line backing, etc. But even with a new OC, Garbers simply missed receivers all day long. He had ZERO accuracy and he DID have opportunities that he blew. Even when receivers managed to catch one of his throws the receiver was either sliding, doubling back, or jumping to catch the errant throw.
I honestly believe that had Garbers had any semblance of accuracy this would have been a MUCH closer game as it would have rested our defense more, it would have spread the UCLA defense out more, and would opened up the OC's options a bit more and loosened up the box.
Granted, it's not a panacea but it is the one area of focus that could have changed the game.
Garbers is not a great QB, he's obviously the best we have at the moment, but we need better options to survive at a P5 level.
These comments on the form are so amazing and yes I am gonna back myself for that Zach Maynard comment man its good to see how unfiltered we are except that we had to get bent over to do it lol.

Ended up in the "voice of reason" category...
