David Shaw is the worst game manager I've ever seen. You don't use all your timeouts with 2:57 left in a half.  You don't do it in the NFL, and you certainly don't do it in college football, where the clock stops with a first down.

He should have kept one time out and let the clock go down to 2:20 or whatever.  Doing what he did, he gave Cal the ability to have another :50 seconds, and look how far they went with no timeouts.

Lucky to get the blocked FG, but it never should have been an option.  Again, atrocious clock management. 

As for Mills, is he even coached? Or is it that he's coached poorly? Who the hell teaches the QB to play like he is playing? All his throws are from the same launch point, which makes him easy to rush.

Well, Mills hasn't turned into the superstar we thought we had when he came out of high school.
Whether it's the coaching or his injury problems or whatever, it certainly is disappointing.

You wouldn't get much better production if Shaw had Notre Dame's offensive personnel. The offensive design is just not up to par for modern football, and the execution is really lacking.

Speaking of Notre Dame.  I have started watching their game against UNC.  Soooooo much more entertaining.
