Question. Is there anyone here that really believes that our players are this bad?

by hrlincon on Oct 3, 2009 6:35 PM PDT reply actions  

I think we have two huge weaknesses: OL and LB. We are very young in both places, and we do not have the kind of talent to play guys that young and be a top team.

Why is Riley the starter? You’ve announced that you have no confidence in him, and perhaps are more concerned about getting shut out than trying to get back into the game.

Just tired of these devastating losses. At least stay in the game. There’s no reason Cal shouldn’t be able to stay in the game against anyone. That’s a coaching issue.

that if they ran another play, they would have had to rush the FG attempt. I think he thought that they would take the 3 points and end on a better note. That gamble didn’t pay off unfortunately
