That's the way the season has gone. Kal was totally dominant when the game was on the line.
Oh well.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - martyup - 11-23-2024

Major fail today.  We proved we could outplay them in the first Q.  Then we jumped on the suck train.  We didn't lack the talent.  We got out coached and out played.  F Cal. Keep the f'ing Axe. We don't deserve it.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - Bampa - 11-23-2024

What pathetic playcalling. Excuse me.

Game over.

All we needed was 10 yards and he calls a long pass????!!!!!

Too cute for his own good. Sorry.


Terrible play calling. Especially that 3rd and 8ish pass for 2 yards to Roush earlier. Critical play that cost them dearly.

Agree
Does last game matter?
In any sense in any universe?
I don’t see how
This season was barely treading water compared to last year

I think it matters because if we win we at least win one more game than we did last year.
Very disappointing how Kal dominated us in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately I called this one right. I figured Kal would probably win a close game.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - Austroturf - 11-23-2024

Major disappointment.  Up 21-7, and we toss it away.  Four straight for the Bears.  Somehow, I smelled this ending when we were up 21-10.  F it all.  And the Bears get bowl eligibility on our backs.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - ADPinWDC - 11-23-2024

Playcalling... OK
But, the last Cal drive for the win went for 98 yards.  
That is on our Defense.

Specifically our secondary. Absolutely awful.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - thunder_chik - 11-23-2024

We choked. Looking at 3-9 again. SJS will be out for blood next week.

Playcalling  OK? Not at all in my book!

Frosh D backs against crafty receivers and a good QB? Forget it!!!


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - PVTree - 11-23-2024

Daniels ended up 14 / 26 after starting 9 / 9.

Only Elic, Mosley, and Roush caught passes today. 

The offense still looks limited to offensive options.

Very limited and too predictable.

I think it matters because if we lose big there’s a better chance, however small, that TT is let go and the future gets a little brighter. If we win, some folks will inevitably claim that things are improving with TT.

I'm so disgusted.  I'm going to drink and watch an old John Wayne western just to wind down.

I agree we outplayed Kal in the first quarter. That was partially because we were playing well, but mostly because Kal was sleepwalking through it. Make no mistake, Kal isn't "good". Their O line has all kinds of problems. Ott hasn't really recovered his form after injury. Stanford's defense played well today and exploited Kal's weakness in the run game and pass protection. It was close, but not enough. A few too many in-game injuries degraded our precariously balanced chances for victory. Kal's defense is actually pretty good when it keeps it's focus. Once they woke up to the fact they needed to play, Stanford didn't have the horses on offense. When you are not a triple option type team and your QB has 21 rushing attempts, you have a problem. If that is a "major fail" it is certainly consistent with how we have played all year.

We're not going to lose big against SJS, although we may lose.
Anyway, I think TT gets another year no matter what happens.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - TonyLima - 11-23-2024

Is it just me or did the defense look tired in 4q? Maybe a new conditioning coach.

They sure played tired. Of course, so did the offense.
You would have thought Kal was Ohio State.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - BobK - 11-23-2024

Which of the 4 Tony? Sad sad loss. 92 yards for the win

Kenney has this.  Easy FG to go into OT.  
We win in OT.

Did TT refuse to kick at FG earlier int the game to go with a trick play?

We blew a FG try on a bad snap, resulting in a desperation incomplete pass by the holder. That surely wasn't an intentional trick play.


RE: Big Game Thread 2024 - PVTree - 11-23-2024

I don't see a way that TT is fired after this season unless there is a player uprising which I don't see happening either.
