Who's afraid? Just reading the tea leaves. If you saw UC play under Dykes  then I would say that Wilcox has created a minor miracle. And I'm with OF, makes for better Big Game.

I agree with you that a minor miracle has occurred. I am just not sure Wilcox caused it. He certainly helped, but it could be a combination of circumstances and not repeatable. Wilcox has fixed some of Cal's problems. However, I think Washington was real flat against Cal, and not that Cal played so well. USC is a bad team and the played particularly badly against Cal. Talk to me in two years and then I will tell you if Wilcox is the cause or just the beneficiary.
Earlier in the year, the Cal sites were calling for Wilcox's head. At the very least they wanted the OC executed. Even after things got a bit better, I was reading on the Cal web sites that they absolutely had to beat us and Colorado, because no way would they beat Washington and/or USC. Two unexpected wins and now Wilcox is a genius. I suspect that things don't actually work that way. To their credit, Cal maximized the opportunity UW and USC gave them. However, I don't think they created said opportunities.
