Thank goodness the novel about this game was brief. The defense was great, and except for the return toward the end of the game, so was the special teams play. Hard to understand how the offense was so bad. There has been much written about it already by others, nothing to add from me. I will be at the USC game. Also hoping for the win. If we get our OL back and Garbers, we can still beat USC.
I will say that I don't think he's always been that bad (and Garbers is a shade too inconsistent for what he does want), but his lack of adjustments in game have been reaaallly rough all year if his gut gameplan isn't working (and it *has* worked the last two weeks and likely would for a 3rd but...you know how that went.)
I’d like to know if JW and the coaches have removed the spare tires from their vehicles. Slim chance you’d ever need them and who ever gets a flat with good tires?
I am only on this island, but I didn't think Glover's throws were that egregiously awful. If we go with a Moore/Brooks/Dancy offense, he could have done just enough to win the game. Shoot, he had one deep ball lost in the sun and one deep ball drop that could have been an extra 40 yards.
Was anyone reminded of Steve Levy? Those passes had a LOT of air underneath them - the difference was the 2005 offensive line was stacked with future pros, and he could hand off to a couple of guys like Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett, and when he aired it out some receivers named Desean Jackson and Lavelle Hawkins had enough speed and hands to slow up and adjust to the slower ball.
Why stop with the CoB. We need an investigation into the “deep” state and if they were in on it as well. I’ve done my research and supposedly the 10 days of darkness for Cal football will be starting tomorrow, after which Jeff Tedford will be reinstated as our HC, with JFK Jr as his OC. We will be unstoppable and all the 5 and 4 star recruits will automatically commit to Cal football to lead us back to glory and greatness.
Cal Athletics has no sway with the City of Berkeley. Cal Athletics barely has any sway within its own University. It would be great to see Knowlton show some stones, knock some shit around and express something besides rosy platitudes, but it won't make a bit of difference with the City IMO. And it's not W4C's job to "school" him.

A big IF
Thanks for pointing out the two obvious things to me
1) Giving up too early on run game/lack of creativity with run game
2) Coaches not having a capable backup QB ready
Apparently, we didn't realize that we have been one play away (injury to Garbers) from complete offensive implosion all season long
And kudos to those on this board who rightly called out at the time that Musgrave was a bad hire.
Any time you can get an ex-NFL guy who hasn't been employed for two years, you gotta do it.
Don’t forget a journey man, he has been a lot of places.

Makes him ok, I guess. Just run the ball, Bill.
Thanks Nam…tough one all around!

Had me in the first half. Not gonna lie.
Big C did another CalAnon drop?
