I’m going with a 31-24 Beavs win! Hopefully they can blow them out but cal isn’t as bad as their record suggests like people have been saying and I doubt vegas is way off. Biggest thing I’d like to see is a good game from chance and improved defense. Some more takeaways would be fun! Or another blocked punt.
Also Remigio always kills us. Need to keep an eye on him at all times and don’t give him a chance to return any punts.
Beavs need to give Cal a heavy dose of Baylor and wear them down. Play field position and force Bears to go the length of the field and turnovers will come.
Brendon Lewis and Colorado offense just keep stacking up the yards and pts on this oregon defense. The score won’t reflect it, but their offense actually played pretty well today after they cleaned up the false start and holding penalties.
Not sure of that is Colorado playing well, or oregon’s having a weak defense. I mean, ESPN keeps reminding me their defense is full of stars, so it must be good
Should’ve came out and ran it 3 straight times. Especially when you pick up 5 on first. The lowe play was high percentage and would’ve been good if he kept his footing tho.
But we could’ve got a whole 3 more yards. My buddy was saying bust 1 and I told him it’s best just to take it at the 25 unless you have an elite return man.
This is what I get for my confidence- We’re getting out coached and out played. Not saying we’re done but we can’t keep spotting the first half without losing more games.
easy to say now, I know, but I thought the predictions of a big Beav blow-out were way off base. Cal is clearly better than their record would indicate. All their losses were close. Beavs have a chance (no pun intended) to pull this out but OSU will need a couple big momentum changers to do it. Like a pick 6 or fumble return, etc.
It looks like it may be on Nolan to win this game with his arm and the defense to stop the Cal run in the 2nd half. The D can’t let Cal suck up 8 minutes of time on their first drive, a 3 and out might swing momentum over to the Beavs for the rest of the game.
Blown coverage. Can’t be making those mistakes. The point of the bend dont break is to not give those up and eventually get a turnover or a penalty that stalls their drive.
Cal stacks the box, so the passing game should have room to operate, but we throw deep to the guy who in double coverage.
One of Smith/Lindgren’s uglier games
That Taco Bell commercial is weird. They’re making out and about to get it on, and the girl suddenly needs to go to Taco Bell, get a Taco, and fart/shit the rest of their date?
Man, the beavers just can’t put it all together. Part of that may be just not used to success, the other part I wonder about is the on-field leadership or lack thereof?
Man barely completed that first pass. Then run run run and what do you know. Need to keep doing that and get some stops. Due for a turnover -2 right now with no takeaways.
So our successful drives have all been run heavy outside of the deep ball to Bradford. What is so hard to understand about running the ball? We prefer our qb and the 57% completion percentage? It makes no sense to me.
Wow. Jesus. Tibs makes any offense look like a juggernaut. Lol. How this guy keeps his job is beyond me unless the goal is to be mediocre. Nut up Smith.
If Nolan makes the easy pass on third down this is completely different right now. Instead he throws low, we punt, its blocked, they
throw a td. All because Nolan misses to many routine passes. And our pass defense is bad.
Cal wanted to force the Beavs to throw(for good reason)
We obliged way too early, and now’re we’re actually forced to throw the rest of the game. Cal D is going to be ready to pick ot off now
What’s interesting about that 2PT conversion, and I have no idea if Smith was going two levels deep like this, but maybe it reduces some pressure going for the 2 points there (less pressure) rather than to win the game later on (more pressure).
On that same PI play, I watched an offensive player tackle a defender from the back, stopping him from stopping the RB. I assumed that was the flag…NOPE
I guess, but Beavs didnt do themselves any favors with the sloppy runs early in the game, slipping down without contact and Beason’s hands leading to a pick and the blocked punt.
I think it’s more a product of missing Julian and Grant early, and the offense getting too pass happy on early drives. That and Garbers being a running threat. Cal isnt great but they’re built to play against our style pretty well on both sides of the ball.
Cal is 11/16 on 3rd. Holy shit. Even for Tibs that’s bad. Cal has scored more tonight than any other game this year except Sac State. Well over season avg in total yards. What a sad showing.
Anyone still defending Tibs at this point is family…or Tibs himself.
the final might be the opposite of what some were predicting.
now that the game has been played for the most part it’s clear that the Beavs could have won with a clean game, specifically, no fumble, no pick, no blocked punt. would have been a close game regardless. Beavs are good, but not great. looks like 7-5 is the top end for this squad.
Truth is reffing did not cost us the game. It wasnt good but truth is we got what we deserved. Cal won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Tibesar has no clue and Nolan is not a Pac 12 qb.
they better win next week or that’s likely. the collar will get real tight then. ASU is the only other reasonable prospect for a W, coming to Corvallis in mid November
So what does this tell us about the program. You break some losing streaks and also lose to wazzu and cal. I’m really looking forward to a better qb being the starter next year. It sure if it’s a personal thing on defense or if it’s coaching. I’m sure some of both.
Honestly, we need to play out the season before you can definitively say we’ve improved in the last three years. We had a bit of bad luck last year and self-inflicted wounds in the 5-win season. The JS era identity has been some form of “good offense, bad defense” every year now.
Nolan didn’t play a great game, true, but I don’t think you can pin this loss on him. Baylor, Beason, and your choice of defensive players are better candidates for goat (and I don’t mean greatest of all time)
For the record, not blaming the loss on Nolan at all. Giving up 39 points isn’t good d although short field on a couple of those drives. Every game I see Nolan miss open guys or make make a play that I scratch my head. Still early in his career. I hope whoever starts next year at qb is The Guy. If it’s Nolan be better be improved.
Lindgren needs to recognize that Nolan is good to pass for about 15 times when the offense rolling running the ball. He’s not the guy that carries the offense. If they ran the shit out of the ball they don’t lose.
Nolan is now on the back side of his career. USC was his pinnacle. We all thought it was the beginning of a great beaver QB. But it was the beginning of the end.
One of the deepest levels of OSU fan hell must be being forced to watch mediocre Pac-12 quarterbacks scramble for a a 1st down on 3rd and 7 over and over again
If he thinks his defense is good on 3rd down, we’re in more trouble with Tibs than I thought…and that’s coming from someone who was off the Tibs train in year 1.
Its been that way for decades. We are so undisiplined on defense and consistently overrun plays leaving huge gaps for QB’s to run through. Its maddening.
I didn’t get to watch the second half. Didn’t need to apparently made the right choice. Been wanting to say it for some time, but Robert’s is legit carrying to defense. Biggest disappointment has been Omar and I like the kid. He just somehow has decide that actually tackling people is against the rules, and arm flailing while running around is better.
Again haven’t seen a play of the second half, just watched uninspired defense and specifically uninspired from anyone outside Robert’s. (Julian as well but he’s out)
Lidngren lost this game before TIbs. If Cal put 7-8 in the box to stop inside run game, why not run fly sweeps or quick passes outside to give Gould a chance to break one.
As long as Flemings is on the field, I don’t actually believe the coaches have realized how good the younger players are. Gould should be given every rep the Flemings is getting, including kick returns. If I were an opposing coach, I would be laughing at the Beavs sending FLemings out there for kick-offs. He is an automatic tackle at the 15 anytime he tries to return it.
I have seen enough of a Tibesar defense. He is not a good DC at this level. JS needs to begin puttiing out feelers for a new DC after this season.
Maybe Vidlak should get a shot at Colorado, alternating possessions. I think Nolan is fool’s gold over time and with additional film teams have solved him.
The next several teams will also stack heavy against the run. Beavs have shown they can still run against it, but it requires a little more creativity than what we saw tonight.
My prediction was correct except Cal flipped it around and the Beavs are somehow still not a very focused team…so much was possible this year and yet they have 3 losses that are actually pretty unexcusable… Poor preparation and poor coaching in all 3 losses. Too bad.
Agree with the flemings assessment and that lindgren lost this game. But I think it was more just not coming out and trying to establish the run. I would’ve been happier going three straight runs and getting stopped than continuing to pass all the time. This offense has been good on 3rd downs because it stays ahead of the chains. They need to pass when necessary and every once in awhile to mix it up.
It seems Cal is the only school smart enough not to fall to our 1# run defense status. They just gave every team going forward a road map to stomp our asses.
First here and in your memories of Beaver football.
I’m going with a 31-24 Beavs win! Hopefully they can blow them out but cal isn’t as bad as their record suggests like people have been saying and I doubt vegas is way off. Biggest thing I’d like to see is a good game from chance and improved defense. Some more takeaways would be fun! Or another blocked punt.
Also Remigio always kills us. Need to keep an eye on him at all times and don’t give him a chance to return any punts.
Beavs 34-20
ASU really shitting the bed. 5 turnovers in the first 3 quarters.
Nice, picked WSU in the CBS pool. Seemed like a ridiculous line…ASU isn’t that good, yet they were giving 15.5 points.
Must contain Garbers! Stop 3rd down, especially 3rd and long. No riverboat gambling! 31-27 Beavs.
Beavs need to give Cal a heavy dose of Baylor and wear them down. Play field position and force Bears to go the length of the field and turnovers will come.
Beavs run away form Cal in second half 45-17
^This.
Play to your strength.
Beavs 27-17
My memory is garbage but I think my prediction was 35-17 and if not that’s what I’m changing it to. The boys should be hungry for a bowl and beyond.
I can’t believe people keep hiring Herm Edwards. He’s basically Mike Riley, only slightly worse.
Brendon Lewis and Colorado offense just keep stacking up the yards and pts on this oregon defense. The score won’t reflect it, but their offense actually played pretty well today after they cleaned up the false start and holding penalties.
Not sure of that is Colorado playing well, or oregon’s having a weak defense. I mean, ESPN keeps reminding me their defense is full of stars, so it must be good
The Cal crowd looks like about 4000 strong tonight, maybe less. And alot of that is Beaver fans
There’s the Baylor fumble you were looking for
Looks like he still had it in hos hands when he landed though
Oh, he’s clearly down.
If the original call was down, then i think it has to stay with the Beavs. But could go either way
Friggin refs! They hate us.
Down! But letting the play go hurts the offense.
well, that sucks.
Crap call.
Hmm, I said no 3rd and long and to contain Garbers. Tibs failed so far. Sigh
Not really. Arnold did. Tibs blitzed him right into the play. Should’ve been a tackle for loss.
2-2 on 3rd down already. Lol.
So when tibs blitzes the safety right into garbers and the player fucks it up it’s his fault? Gotcha
Dude, gave up 2 3rd down conversions already. He’s not good.
that’s a nice view from up on the hill down into the stadium bowl. Almost as many people up there as in the midfield section of the stadium.
So much for the blowout. Refs ruined that outcome.
Long game yet. That was such high school reffing though. Bs
That’s where the call in the field really hurts you. He should’ve been down but refs are told to let the play go and that screwed us.
Arnold already fucking up.
Be nice to start a game without trailing. Might as well just start 0-7.
Not a good start
Not even a little. 2x in a row now. Dang
Is this like Utah? Gotta spot the opponent 2 scores before showing up?
Lowe’s a fine runner, blocker?…..not so much…yet.
Rund blocker?
pass block fail…..sorry I wasn’t clear.
Should’ve came out and ran it 3 straight times. Especially when you pick up 5 on first. The lowe play was high percentage and would’ve been good if he kept his footing tho.
Slow start again. Ugh.
Good series by the d.
Was that the cal cheerleaders?
run the friggin ball
Yup. Take the deep shot once you’ve been running the ball effectively.
If flemings wasn’t 5’5maybe could’ve reached that.
Was that #6 making the tackle on Cals 3rd down? McCarten’s #?
5 Austin.
TY
Noyer is #6 also. Maybe getting some time since we’re down some safeties?
Why da fuq we burn a timeout there? That was ridiculous
cuz the coaches turn their brains off in the first quarter
You get 3 per half might as well use em
Too Soon
I was yelling “punt” during that Colletto scare.
Would’ve rather seen Nolan try to draw them off if that was the plan and then drop back and pooch it.
exactly. or at least motion coletto out and then pooch
Defense is gonna have to win this one
Please God no.
Looks like we are pass happy today. Run the ball!!
Blitz.
The people who are bearish Angry are going to have a fun time with my call.
Whew, got lucky there
OMG….
Sometimes you need a little luck
this next drive i want to see 4 straight run plays
Beaverfootball must read AB, even during games, haha.
https://twitter.com/BeaverFBNews/status/1454595533608128520?t=XWAmPnJGVKsUIr8Hbwhwcg&s=19
Ok, time to get back to basics and play ball
Again with the reason #353567 to not bother returning the kickoff
But we could’ve got a whole 3 more yards. My buddy was saying bust 1 and I told him it’s best just to take it at the 25 unless you have an elite return man.
Could get the little fella broken in two as well.
Colletto with a nice lead block
Looks like kipper and levengood are out.
Kipper is out too? I didn’t see that yet.
more read option please
Ma boy, Musgrave!
Good job by Chance as well, used his eyes to misdirect DB’s
it takes chance so long to scan the field processing so slow
FG. Scratch ticket Smith saving his gamblin’ for Vegas??
Enough with the toss plays. If they want to run outside use read option or fly sweep otherwise run it down the gut.
Cal O line pushing around D line.
Exactly.
Very disappointing…..so far.
makin garbers look like a track star
This is what I get for my confidence- We’re getting out coached and out played. Not saying we’re done but we can’t keep spotting the first half without losing more games.
so weak
Who thought cal was a push over?
D looks like a bunch of pansies getting out physicaled. Makes me sick!
Someone wake Tibs up! It’s game day!
So much for that #1 rushing defense. Why pass when you can run right over the top of them.
Getting dominated at the LOS. don’t panic and run the ball. A fly sweep or twoight loosen up their interior d line.
Bench Omar play Coletto
Speights has 18 solo tackles through 6 games. Missed tackle weighting to happen. He peaked freshman year.
If they don’t start doing a better job of controlling the line of scrimmage on both sides cal is going to control the game.
Defense cannot handle the mighty Cal O……wow nice game plan
Way too many passes. We don’t have good nolan either.
Ok after hearing that micd up coach i want to fucking bury these assholes
Be patient, run the fucking ball.
How was that not targeting?
Wondering the same. Same play got Jaden Grant tossed last week
Why does Fenwick always get tackled running into an online player?
So is Cal’s run defense supposed to be good or are we just sucking running the ball today.
Think they’re 3rd in Pac?
They called that hold before it even had a chamce to develop, haha
fuck chance stop forcing the ball thats what happens
Hit Beason in the hands at least. Similar to WSU, Beason cant hold on and it’s a turnover
Beason hasn’t done anything this season.
Play calling needs adjustments
What’s up with this receiving core. Catch the damn ball!
Quit focing it to guys with a dude on their back!
Honestly. The wrs have had hands of stone this year
Quit passing the ball! Nolan is hot garbage forcing way too many passes. Would like to see more Colleto fullback plays.
He’s hit 3 guys in the hands and they’ve dropped them.
Buy Gold
Damn. Game over.
yup im out
Omg. Worst fan ever!
Hahaha.
On the plus side, the Beavs usually play better after Angry taps out
And on cue TD Beavs!
Chicken little week 2
Boy everything that can go wrong has–bs fumble on first drive, poor running, tip into int– and still only down two scores in 1st half.
If the beavs can pull their collective heads outta they ass, this game is very winnable
2 drops by Beason already including now the pick. I loved him preseason but he’s been absolutely atrocious and needs to sit.
Bench Beason and champ…shouldn’t be this complicated. Gould is better than champ in every way.
Would rather see Harrison and Gould for sure.
From what we’ve seen. Doesn’t help when the QB throws it to him when hes being interfered with.
Cal has lost two straight to OSU and does NOT want to become the team against whom OSU gains bowl eligibility for the first time in 8 years.
Can we throw away from Ruchena?
*young
I guess we’re only going to play half a game of football this week. We’re getting dominated.
Beason is bad. He drops more than he catches and looks scared to block anyone.
4 minute drill, Run The Ball. Use all 4 minutes.
My thought exactly. Give the defense a break and come back with Grant in the 2nd half.
Run the damn ball
The pass is working now.
The Beav’s strategy is to conserve energy in the first half, so they cab dominate the second half.
Need energy for the milfs
easy to say now, I know, but I thought the predictions of a big Beav blow-out were way off base. Cal is clearly better than their record would indicate. All their losses were close. Beavs have a chance (no pun intended) to pull this out but OSU will need a couple big momentum changers to do it. Like a pick 6 or fumble return, etc.
That was a dime by Nolan. Might be his best pass yet.
man, that’s a huge play. couple nice throws back to back by Nolan. that bodes well.
That was a perfect ball
Like I said, Throw the Damn Ball
Lol
TD. Like I said, RunTheBall…….LOL
nice shot of Bradford trying to cheer up Beason. good leadership.
Bradford talking to Beason on the sidelines. Good to see that senior leadership. Hopefully get his confidence up and calm down the catching yips
That’s good to see but I would rather see someone out there in his place. Has done next to nothing aside from tipping 2 balls for interceptions.
Cal use of time outs Riley like.
Interesting how Bradford barely saw any throws his way for a few games and now Utah and this game he is the clear #1.
man, Cal just gave up that possession. almost equal to a turnover. Beavs are in it. Maybe they can pull away in the second half?
ryan leafs stache is doing something
Where is Anthony Gould. Get him in and some touches on the fly sweep.
Only need 32 unanswered points to have my prediction be spot on!
Notice droopy eye doesn’t mention the fumble wasn’t actually a fumble, he is right the beavs are right in this game, still
Cal leads the league in time of possession. Need to stop the run in the 2nd half and get a turnover.
Hopefully grant comes out with his balls of fire! Lol
Run the ball to the edges. They are selling out to the middle. Then pass.
Cal 5-8 on third downs. It never stops. Fire tibs.
Agree. Only 3.6 yds per rush. That’s pretty low for this team. Definitely need to go outside more.
Need to keep mauling,ike body blows in boxing it pays off later
Need more Coletto fullback. The toss plays have been terrible and part as to why the ypc is bad. Fly sweep.
Yes, Tibs should get a bus ticket home. Should’ve been 3 td’s by Cal.
How long before Leaf is fired?
Leaf is fine, shit who doesn’t like a redemption story? Good for him.
He was ron burgundy in pre game and picked the Beavs. He said Ron loves beaver lol. So we’ll see.
Exactly…heard that, and he’s said a few questionable things after that.
I don’t care, but woke people will.
It looks like it may be on Nolan to win this game with his arm and the defense to stop the Cal run in the 2nd half. The D can’t let Cal suck up 8 minutes of time on their first drive, a 3 and out might swing momentum over to the Beavs for the rest of the game.
Let’s go beavers, clap, clap, clap clap clap
Way to represent beavs
I would weigh in but you amateurs could not understand my professional analysis.
PS: still dead
Still not funny either.
Starting with a nice 3rd and long conversion! It’s like Groundhog Day
Fire tibs
Week after week the defense is not prepared. Tibs must be fired!!!!
Nice coverage in the secondary.
Blown coverage. Can’t be making those mistakes. The point of the bend dont break is to not give those up and eventually get a turnover or a penalty that stalls their drive.
Tibs? Is this you? Focus on the game and not AB!
our defense looks almost as bad as the wsu game
This looks like a L. Evennif we score defense did not come prepared to get stops and get off the field. Giving up easy TDs.
Another terrible forced pass by Nolan when he couldve ran.
and it doesnt help chances piss poor decision making
Its soooo bad!
Nolan can’t perform vs fast defenses.
So receivers dropping passes is his fault?
Him making shit decisions is and throwing hospital balls.
Exactly.
You made a terrible prediction
The people who are bearish Angry are going to have a fun time with my call.
Coaching????? Defense, Offense, Play calling , Game prep, Adjustments
Lindgren and Nolan are killing them. Lindgren shouldn’t be calling half these passes and then Nolan is making just awful decisions.
Cal stacks the box, so the passing game should have room to operate, but we throw deep to the guy who in double coverage.
One of Smith/Lindgren’s uglier games
The ball was literally in his hands, that was catchall, sorry, not on nolan
Double coverage throw it to the open player. Totally his fault. Read the defense. Lol
Yep….
Yeah mostly a play calling issue. Throwing deep into double coverage on 3rd and 7…yikes
That Taco Bell commercial is weird. They’re making out and about to get it on, and the girl suddenly needs to go to Taco Bell, get a Taco, and fart/shit the rest of their date?
What a loser that guy must be. He is the anti colletto
Liberty Mutual takes the stupid comm’l prize.
leaves the door open
Open doors gotta be walked through.
Maybe missed FG will get beavs going. Need a TD now.
great catch champ
Man, the beavers just can’t put it all together. Part of that may be just not used to success, the other part I wonder about is the on-field leadership or lack thereof?
WE NEEDED THAT
Lowe and then Fenwick, lessons in picking your hole.
Fenwick forgot to run into Marco’s back
Ha
Fenwick actually had some vision on that one. Just picked his way through the crowd.
Eldridge with a nice 2 man block on that td.
Man barely completed that first pass. Then run run run and what do you know. Need to keep doing that and get some stops. Due for a turnover -2 right now with no takeaways.
Defense!
So our successful drives have all been run heavy outside of the deep ball to Bradford. What is so hard to understand about running the ball? We prefer our qb and the 57% completion percentage? It makes no sense to me.
Fenwick sure has poor vision. Lol
Even a blind rb can find a hole occasionally , or more hopefully maybe he is learning
Not many tfls this game. Had 21 in previous 2
It’s like some mental block with our coaches.
coulda gone for 2 after that TD…
So, do we have a defense or not? Last week’s second half was decent.
Great play by Oladapo! Momentum Beavs!
3rd down stop. Credit Tibs?…………or Oladapo?
Oladapo
Cal may have a psychological disadvantage this half. They’ve blown a few leads this year.
chance again missing easy throws oh the pain
Don’t know how many times I’ve said this Jesus nolan!
fuck. just like that we suck again
We’re getting Utah’d by cal
Fire tibs on the tarmac
its over. time to get some sleep…
TD Pass? I’m tracking a CBS feed with quite a bit of delay.
Thought you were already gone?
Now 3 or 4 busted coverages. These players need to pull their heads out of their asses.
Looks like Oladapo on 2 plays has failed at being the safety over the top on TDs.
Chicken little looking more like big bird…. Not so little anymore.
Can’t have Robert’s in wr coverage
Safety needs to get over the top.
No coming back from that sequence. Knock out punch.
They play perfect from here on out they can win.
Cool leg Luke froze on that one, low trajectory will get ya nearly every time.
Wow. Jesus. Tibs makes any offense look like a juggernaut. Lol. How this guy keeps his job is beyond me unless the goal is to be mediocre. Nut up Smith.
We need a new defensive coach.
If Nolan makes the easy pass on third down this is completely different right now. Instead he throws low, we punt, its blocked, they
throw a td. All because Nolan misses to many routine passes. And our pass defense is bad.
Is his real name Chance? Or only when he’s passing?
PS: still dead
Stay dead
Cal wanted to force the Beavs to throw(for good reason)
We obliged way too early, and now’re we’re actually forced to throw the rest of the game. Cal D is going to be ready to pick ot off now
Shit.
Another drop.
15 yard penalty and we cant see any type of review? What type of call is that?
It was I saw it. I was pissed to say the least. And then proceeded to drop it.
no penalties on cal tonight?
this game is like blue velvet, weird but good somehow
Why the 2 pts? Does it make a difference in strategy?
I guess the logic is they win if they hold them then score? Not the brightest idea.
One of these long shot moves needs to work at some point right?
Defense holds and score once more and you’re up by one. Going for the win not the tie…possibly.
Cal looked surprised and disorganized….seemed like a right call, but only because it worked.
pass not dropped, hmmm…bad idea to go for 2
Score a td and EP and your up by 1.
Hate going for 2 there, but glad it worked. The scratch ticket gambler is back
Wtf? Thankfully they made it a miss and the game is really dicey
Yeah, Nolan sucks. Lol
Helps when musgrave pushes down the defenders.
Not to be too much of a grump, Nolan still carrying that ball pretty nonchalantly.
Weird call bc it worked. Why go for two? It serves almost a zero percent winning strategy.
After Luke’s punt no kicker is to be trusted?????
you guys need to wake up going for it there is standard… do a google search lol
Nice TD…. So what’s up with the soccer team? Did they play this week?
They’re hanging your wife, settle down, cuck
Good one Toolius…
Take your lame shtick, and $7.95, and stick it, fucko
COME ON D GET S TURNOVER!
Haha Musgrave taking out two DBs to clear Bradford on the TD.
Get a turnover now!
We’ll pick one on this drive.
What’s interesting about that 2PT conversion, and I have no idea if Smith was going two levels deep like this, but maybe it reduces some pressure going for the 2 points there (less pressure) rather than to win the game later on (more pressure).
Only bc it worked
Only what?
Nothing I wrote warrants what you wrote.
Well it makes it so it would win or tie.
What? Anyway, what I wrote is the interesting thing. The mental part.
What’s the score?!?
How much time?
25-31 with 9 minutes left
I agree with these guys Musgrave got away with PI there. Ran right into both defenders trying to make contact.
We probably should have on side kicked after the TD. D can’t do anything.
cal has 1 penalty but it offset so 0
What BS.
Maybe Wilcox will be available after this season? He’d be expensive, but pair him with Lindgren and maybe be +2 in wins.
Tibs will be available
Where is Sio? Need some big guys to slow down the run.
defense tired so many arm tackles
Jesus christ.
Does cal have any penalties.
1 but offset so no
Need a turnover
That is not a defense that wins 9 games.
One sided reffing. Can’t have a personal foul there. Ive seen plenty PI on the bears tho. Theres no way they’ve not committed 1 penalty. Total bs.
On that same PI play, I watched an offensive player tackle a defender from the back, stopping him from stopping the RB. I assumed that was the flag…NOPE
Wright is too emotional…needs to play
Another good one Toolius
Apparently you’re emotional too, bitch
Toolius… on a roll. So creative.
Like the soccer team, pulling a train on your wife
Clean up pbh
Keep em’ coming… making a fool of yourself. Losing is tough.
So creative…lol…speaking of tools
Fuck off, troll.
Apparently cal is playing a flawless game with no turnovers or penalties. Lmao
The fix is already in for hOle
Perfect game!
I told you cal would be refocused.
ballgame
Game over
This is the first loss in some time that isn’t on Smith. Clearly on the D and refs.
Lindgren. If they ran the ball from the get go this never happens.
and chance and some recievers
WHATS THE CALL??? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK
Someone tell me, why does the clock keep running after we shoved Garbers out of bounds on 2nd down there?
Not that it matters now, but curious
Ive been noticing that this season. Must be some rule change to shorten games. Remember when guys had to go down to keep the clock running?
Right? It’s almost like they stop it only if the offense would benefit from the stoppage. Otherwise it rolls
Fuck this team is maddening.
39 points to cal.. safe to say out D is pretty predictable.
Yeah that’s a joke and Tibs needs to go. I wasn’t on the fire him bandwagon until this. Cal is an atrocious offense.
Fire Tibs. 1# run defense my ass.
Only bc the pass defense is worse.
Our defense is hot garbage. Only Sacramento State has made Cal look this good.
no penalties, sacks, or TOs given up by CAL… finally a nice D play and holding on conversion lol
game been a complete nightmare and somehow we weren’t even dead till just now
League obviously doesn’t want the Beavs to win the North. Atrocious reffing.
I guess, but Beavs didnt do themselves any favors with the sloppy runs early in the game, slipping down without contact and Beason’s hands leading to a pick and the blocked punt.
I think it’s more a product of missing Julian and Grant early, and the offense getting too pass happy on early drives. That and Garbers being a running threat. Cal isnt great but they’re built to play against our style pretty well on both sides of the ball.
“Blame the refs” is weak with only a few penalties and so many unforced errors
I didn’t blame the refs. Just pointing out no penalties is ridiculous aside from the celebration at the end. Don’t try to read so much into comments.
Cal is 11/16 on 3rd. Holy shit. Even for Tibs that’s bad. Cal has scored more tonight than any other game this year except Sac State. Well over season avg in total yards. What a sad showing.
Anyone still defending Tibs at this point is family…or Tibs himself.
Champ brings it out shy of the 25? I’ve seen this before.
good grief
the final might be the opposite of what some were predicting.
now that the game has been played for the most part it’s clear that the Beavs could have won with a clean game, specifically, no fumble, no pick, no blocked punt. would have been a close game regardless. Beavs are good, but not great. looks like 7-5 is the top end for this squad.
If we can’t beat Cal, we’ll be lucky to make a bowl game with our remaining schedule
That sounded stupid.
Tibesar are needs to go. Done. Too many repeats of the same problems.
Best offensive outing for CAL all season?
Why is a TE is running a deep route? Wouldn’t Gould be a better option?
Its called strategy.
I haven’t seen any contenders for the COTT. If you have, post them below this.
Goodnight, Beavos.
How about Orange Toolius? A number of gems.
Thanks for your support, and your spell check is broken
Isn’t the COTT “Fire Tibesar”? That was my takeaway from this game.
Beavs get taken down a notch
Honestly who gives a shit at this point. Or ever
COTT is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome.
So tldr refs suck, turnovers and bad 3rd down defense? Can’t wait to watch this replay.
Summed it up pretty well
Nolan just isn’t a pac 12 QB week in and week out.
He’s no four star qb
That miss to Bradford followed up by a blocked punt then the easy td was a big moment in the game. Easy throw and it was so bad.
That was a key point. Terrible throw by Nolan. They can’t win on Nolan’s arm when the run game is not working.
Nolan never had the makings of a varsity athlete
Is this Uncle Junior?
The defense can’t keep forcing the offense to carry the load every week. That’s the recipe for a good, but not great team.
My 38-24 cal win prediction has aged exceptionally well tonight. I wish it hadn’t.
Game ball should go to Tibesar
Truth is reffing did not cost us the game. It wasnt good but truth is we got what we deserved. Cal won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Tibesar has no clue and Nolan is not a Pac 12 qb.
Who said it did? It was shit but not the deciding factor.
defense not tuff today. cal is wiping floor with us
Fucking embarrassing.
Yikes: https://twitter.com/AngieMachado1/status/1454630993013264385
no kidding, Angry. When Angie is calling out an OSU team . . . .
I click over and what is most interesting is poppy pants Biden is trending. Did his people lose control of Twitter?
But ya obvious Beavs no heart
Fantastic. Fart sniffing again after beating Utah.
We’ve been sniffing so many farts we’re going to solve global warming.
All that smug in the bay area.
You sure those weren’t queefs?
Where you at oob? Jump off the tibs train!!!!
How does the ref on the goalline have to ask the ref 20 yards up field if that’s a td?
Pathetic
Stating the obvious, but with more and more film, the remaining teams on the schedule can see the Beavers weaknesses.
Its not entirely impossible for the Beavers to lose out at this point.
The D sucks.
Lol. Really?
they better win next week or that’s likely. the collar will get real tight then. ASU is the only other reasonable prospect for a W, coming to Corvallis in mid November
we might destroy buffs, or it will be close and we squeeze it out. either way we are an average team at best
Those 500 people in the stadium may rush the field
See.. gold for COTT
Definitely a strong contender
It’s Berkley, they’ll protest after the game then burn half the city down.
COTT?
Since 2018 Cal has scored more than 35 points in a game twice against FBS competition and both games came against the Beavers
So what does this tell us about the program. You break some losing streaks and also lose to wazzu and cal. I’m really looking forward to a better qb being the starter next year. It sure if it’s a personal thing on defense or if it’s coaching. I’m sure some of both.
Gebbia is only good for one half a game…Nolan is streaky too…Gulbrandson? Vidlak?
Honestly, we need to play out the season before you can definitively say we’ve improved in the last three years. We had a bit of bad luck last year and self-inflicted wounds in the 5-win season. The JS era identity has been some form of “good offense, bad defense” every year now.
Nolan didn’t play a great game, true, but I don’t think you can pin this loss on him. Baylor, Beason, and your choice of defensive players are better candidates for goat (and I don’t mean greatest of all time)
For the record, not blaming the loss on Nolan at all. Giving up 39 points isn’t good d although short field on a couple of those drives. Every game I see Nolan miss open guys or make make a play that I scratch my head. Still early in his career. I hope whoever starts next year at qb is The Guy. If it’s Nolan be better be improved.
Bleedorange21, you’ve clearly been indulging in the “drink every time someone says Tibesar sucks” drinking game. Time to go home.
What are you even referring to? Lol. Don’t start throwing shade dude.
Lindgren needs to recognize that Nolan is good to pass for about 15 times when the offense rolling running the ball. He’s not the guy that carries the offense. If they ran the shit out of the ball they don’t lose.
Right? You’d think they would recognize that about the guy who was third best QB in camp.
Nolan is now on the back side of his career. USC was his pinnacle. We all thought it was the beginning of a great beaver QB. But it was the beginning of the end.
All I can say to that is we have some good people waiting and if they can win the job it will be better.
After this season, the true indicator of Niner’s intention to actually take OSU to the next level will be his willingness to fire Tibesar (or not)
Right, is he truly the next Riley?
The most depressing outcome of the JS era would be if he was truly done in by hiring the wrong f***ing assistants.
? Is Banker available
Bring back the hand jive!!!
You’re going too close to Anderpants there. That’s what GA told Canzano about his assistants. God, I hope JS is smart enough to cut his losses.
One of the deepest levels of OSU fan hell must be being forced to watch mediocre Pac-12 quarterbacks scramble for a a 1st down on 3rd and 7 over and over again
Heard tibs interview where he said team is good on 3rd and short and 3rd and 20+…just needed to work on 3rd and intermediate, ie 12-16…lol
If he thinks his defense is good on 3rd down, we’re in more trouble with Tibs than I thought…and that’s coming from someone who was off the Tibs train in year 1.
Its been that way for decades. We are so undisiplined on defense and consistently overrun plays leaving huge gaps for QB’s to run through. Its maddening.
Just plain poor
I didn’t get to watch the second half. Didn’t need to apparently made the right choice. Been wanting to say it for some time, but Robert’s is legit carrying to defense. Biggest disappointment has been Omar and I like the kid. He just somehow has decide that actually tackling people is against the rules, and arm flailing while running around is better.
Again haven’t seen a play of the second half, just watched uninspired defense and specifically uninspired from anyone outside Robert’s. (Julian as well but he’s out)
Well Roberts missed some bad tackles including a big sack. So
Lidngren lost this game before TIbs. If Cal put 7-8 in the box to stop inside run game, why not run fly sweeps or quick passes outside to give Gould a chance to break one.
As long as Flemings is on the field, I don’t actually believe the coaches have realized how good the younger players are. Gould should be given every rep the Flemings is getting, including kick returns. If I were an opposing coach, I would be laughing at the Beavs sending FLemings out there for kick-offs. He is an automatic tackle at the 15 anytime he tries to return it.
I have seen enough of a Tibesar defense. He is not a good DC at this level. JS needs to begin puttiing out feelers for a new DC after this season.
Maybe Vidlak should get a shot at Colorado, alternating possessions. I think Nolan is fool’s gold over time and with additional film teams have solved him.
The next several teams will also stack heavy against the run. Beavs have shown they can still run against it, but it requires a little more creativity than what we saw tonight.
My prediction was correct except Cal flipped it around and the Beavs are somehow still not a very focused team…so much was possible this year and yet they have 3 losses that are actually pretty unexcusable… Poor preparation and poor coaching in all 3 losses. Too bad.
Agree with the flemings assessment and that lindgren lost this game. But I think it was more just not coming out and trying to establish the run. I would’ve been happier going three straight runs and getting stopped than continuing to pass all the time. This offense has been good on 3rd downs because it stays ahead of the chains. They need to pass when necessary and every once in awhile to mix it up.
The defense gave up 500 fucking yards to Cal. Let that sink in.
It seems Cal is the only school smart enough not to fall to our 1# run defense status. They just gave every team going forward a road map to stomp our asses.
Maybe most of the defenders are just plain dumb. The inability to recognize patterns and adjust….
Waitaminnit!
OSU okaying down yo competition is a poor sign. Potentially one step on the progress to consistent play, but painful to watch.
Think Smith said:”We ain’t done yet!” In the locker room after?
We can still win the North, but no longer control our own destiny…and it doesn’t seem likely anyway.
It should be “get a load of this shit” from here on out.
He probably said something like “We ain’t done giving our opponents 3rd down conversations yet!”
New thread up with COTT candidates.
I posted before the season 6-6 or at best 7-5 and I still stand by that.
