disappointing play from this team

the defense can’t put any consistent pressure on Wynn and the offense is sputtering after negative and no-yardage plays

That one commentator at halftime was an idiot. “Once again, a Pac-10 team looking like they don’t want to be there” Right. That’s why we jumped out to the early lead and dominated the first quarter. Our problem isn’t not wanting to be there.

They never got a shot of what actually happened when that guy got wide open on Cattouse. Looks like he may have just turned his hips and he couldn’t recover

Just from what I glanced, the Utah receiver seemed to fake in, Nnabuife WAY overplayed, so did Cattouse, and he went back inside on the post.

No… that one run call on 2nd ad 5 was way to obvious. Riley hit Verran in stride both times; we just gotta get that hook up

Taisetsu na mono protect my balls!

by Thoroughbred on Dec 23, 2009 6:38 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Look, I know we're down two scores

But Vereen is averaging 6.6 ypc. I really think we need to focus on running the ball here. Yes, that means it’ll take longer to catch up. But watching Riley bob back and forth like a spastic chihuahua before flinging the ball in an random direction clearly isn’t working.

by HolmoePhobe on Dec 23, 2009 6:36 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

The O-Line seems to have regressed though as the game has gone on. Utah is also stacking the box now and daring Riley to throw.

Are you watching the same game? Of his throws, only one was off target. I think we need to break out the 5 wide with Lagemann and Miller getting some 8-10 yard routes

that’s a pretty decent observation. we just need our WRs to catch and hold onto the ball.

Yeah, i think the first drop when Verran got lit up was excusable, but I think he should’ve caught the second one. We can get it back to him because he’s obviously separating from his man

I don’t think their LBs can cover our guys underneath. Unfortunately, I don’t know if Ludwig is the type of coordinator to do what i want (prob for good reason)

by HolmoePhobe on Dec 23, 2009 6:44 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Utah was stacking 8/9 in the box that entire 2nd quarter (until the last drive when they expected pass). So I’m not sure they’ll deviate from that until Riley can prove he can sustain drives with his arm.

I don’t think Riley CAN sustain drives with his arm → I think Utah is going to stack the box pretty much no matter what.

by HolmoePhobe on Dec 23, 2009 6:42 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Utah was playing a base 4-3 at the beginning…those two extra guys give Vereen no gaps to hit.

Marvin Jones

by Rocky63215 on Dec 23, 2009 6:41 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

I'm more concerned about the defense

And I’m not sure it’s really the D-line. The back 8 just aren’t getting it done, especially on pass coverage.

I expect the Bears will blitz a lot more, and if Utah picks it up and the corners get beat, this could get ugly.

As for the offense, a nice drive on the first series could right the ship quickly, especially if the defense then gives the ball right back.

Go Bears!

by California Pete on Dec 23, 2009 6:42 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Well the way to help the defense

is run Vereen and get first downs. A 10 plus drive burning some clock would help keep the defense off the field.

by HolmoePhobe on Dec 23, 2009 6:42 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

yeah. Horrible. the guy was turning to catch the ball and bishop got his hand onthe shoulder. you’d think the ref would see he didn’t TURN him

But, the ref thought it was enough contact that would allow him to get his arms up to catch the pass hence the flag.

He sort of grabbed a little jersey with his right hand (more than just touching), though it was still pretty ticky-tack.

Cal is about 30 kickoff return yards from setting a record for most return yards in a season.

Unless we manage 4 TOs in the next half, they’ll set a record for fewest TOs in a season.

2nd half on radio for me

Have to catch second half on radio, unfortunately. Cattouse was questionable, but let’s check the torrent, if someone posts one. Another thing I saw was linebackers were out of position again, a la the Oregon game. Frustrating. Sounds like 2nd half might be better.

Man, if Utah’s QB held onto the ball just once on the zone read, he could get some yards. They aren’t respecting his running ability at all.

Btw

Vereen bitched out there. You can see him slow down as the Utah player falls on the ball. Should have made the tackle.

I’d say he does. He keeps the offense on the field, they stay in rhythm and eat up clock. Defense doesn’t have to deal with 15 three and outs and get back on the field. Defense can play their style and not have to keep making adjustments. Both mental and physical fatigue as well.

And just the fact that we’re winning is a huge morale boost. I think they’d play with a lot more confidence if we’re winning and the offense got their backs rather than having 15 three and outs and having to get back on the field.

FOr as bad as the defense was in the 1st half

they’ve played well in the 2nd (minus the big 5 men in the backfield play). They’ve made an appearance. The offense looks like garbage.

If we lose, who wants to bet Tedford says some combination of the following words in the post game quotes: “They outplayed us” / “We were overlooking them”
