Absolutely agree. Getting pressure with 4 or 5 made the back-end zone all that more effective. Falk had no time, and when he did dump it off, the cal player made a good one-on-one tackle. Do that and the Air Raid doesn't work.

My guess is that the Wazzu players are more or less used to this kind of talk from Leach, and are able to shrug it off.  They may even appreciate his  directness and candor.  And he did blame himself and the rest of the coaching staff as well, not just the players.

And let's be honest for a moment: some of those TOs were a bit flukey.  Still, no doubt Wilcox & Co. had a great game plan and the players executed it pretty well.

Falk is always looking to make the perfect pass.  It is his biggest flaw as a QB. The most extreme example of that was the bowl game against Minnesota last year.  The Gophers had a bunch of players suspended for the game, and their secondary was made up almost entirely of inexperienced backups.  But over and over, Falk held the ball for what seemed like days against them, unwilling to pull the trigger.
