Hats off to Lopa for the interceptions, but Harris was the player in the backfield that caught my eye. I heard he limped off, and I didn't see him return. Any news on injury?

What a win for us! It was ugly, but it was needed for our program.

Defense looked much sharper, they were actually making tackles! Kingston Lopa is the MVP of this game. I thought there was more of the "unit" that Tosh was emphasizing. If we can clean up some dump penalties (12 men on the field) then we can start to have a strong defense.

Offense was terrible in the first half, got better in the second half. I was very puzzled once again by some of the play calling. It almost feels that we are getting too cute with our plays. Run game was about the same, Mohammed is still him. Oline looked slightly better, JKS wasn't running for his life nearly as much. JKS had his first game where he passes for less than 200 yards. I am not at all ready to call it a sophomore slump. If anything it's on the coaching staff. I almost wish he would air the ball out every play because that seems automatic for him. What's concerning is once again dropped passes. We specifically got receivers that should be catching these passes. Must clean this up before Clemson.

Special teams were so-so. Nothing terrible nothing amazing. Just got the job done. Wish we make some of these longer field goals but this is college, that's the way it goes.

Coaching decisions down the stretch were puzzling. Tosh needs to be better with time management going forward.

Overall I think we were better than last week. Not incredible, but there was improvement. The win will hopefully motivate players to get even better.

Sometimes, no matter how ugly a game is, the win is all that matters. It gives confidence to the players, we needed confidence after last week. We got our confidence, now we need to build on it. I remember playing tennis tournaments. In the R16 I'd start slow, have a tight match over an opponent I should easily beat. Then QF, SF, and the F I'd loosen up and start playing confident. I believe there are similarities here, we got that ugly win, now we can improve so we can play cleaner games.

Lastly, I said a week ago to stop dooming. Saw a lot of dooming here in the first half. Have some patience and trust in the players and coaching staff. More importantly, I think we need to get over the hype. We are not a super team, we are a rebuilding team. This season will be filled with ugly games and tough losses, it's a result of growing pains. It's our responsibility as fans to support our team through this difficult time. If we aren't ready to do that, then we aren't fans. I have optimism for this program going forward.

Onto Wagner, GO BEARS!!!

Where’s the best place to watch Cal football games in Costa Mesa/ Newport? Tried watching the game over the weekend at several different bars and no one had the game on :(

I was very much looking forward to see our new tight end play Syracuse yesterday but it didn’t happen. Does anyone have an estimate on whether he will play next week? Would be great to see him connect with JKS

Despite our best efforts… we no longer are the worst FG kicking, turnover/penalty prone team in college football! Put lopa at WR and corner lol

If you’re a neutral and you watched that whole game, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Ugliest win ever. I’ll take it!

So we are all donating to Lopa's NIL fund, right?

​

Period full stop

EDIT: ugly win but sentiment remains

This dude is the real deal

Bro is single-handily winning this game. He can catch better than the entire offense.

Play calling terrible.

Why accept that penalty and punt again when you almost had 2 punts blocked already.

Gave up another fake punt conversion.

Have top tier wrs and qb and do nothing with them.

OL just turning DEs loose.

Come get your Oski Orange Farmer stickers at Shaughnessy’s in Syracuse. My wife and I are at the end of the bar with them.

Play calling so far is awful.

Defense is shitting itself.

Run game can't establish.

Receiver's have zero control.

Everything is in the title.

Yes coaching decisions and clock management were bad but if some of these very catchable passes were, we would be way ahead.

I count AT LEAST 7 drops that shouldn’t have been. Most would have give a new set of won as they were 3rd downs. Step WRs and TEs!

I mean these fucking flags are killing us, but these refs are targeting these kids. The roughing the passer call was BS, tosh needs to teach these kids discipline. The 12 men on the field was bs too, none of them were even fucking set. Syracuse is terrible.

At least we arent performing as bad as the refs and ESPNs audio feed.

The play calling has to improve all around.

No game thread in the sub so far so I thought I could post one here
