because the Cal game was a very winnable game.
Before the program can turn around the team has to start "smelling the blood in water" and put the game away.
I do feel the team left it all on the field but did not make the plays to win.

The Good
- The oline blocked so much better on passing plays than last week it was really encouraging.
- Paul Richardson - worth the price of admission by himself. A truly electric player.
- Hansen played well.
- FG kicker performed under pressure.
- Rippy was good on Defense.
- Stewart was very good on the screens and delay passes out of the back field.
- No turnovers.
The bad -
- Total lack of a running game.
- Defense could not come up with the big stop when the game was on the line. Let Cal march down the field when we were ahead 27-23. Way too easy.
- Poor tackling technique...too many arm tackles.
- Mental breakdowns at key times - kicking the ball out of bounds for example.
- Special teams need to come up with more big plays - never pinned Cal deep that I remembered.
The Ugly -
- Penalties - a team cannot keep putting itself in a hole constantly and expect to win especially when you do not have overwhelming talent.
- Defense gives up too many big plays.

- The effort was good and I plan on being patient but I do not believe in moral victories. This was a winnable game that was lost. CU is not going to see a lot of those coming up.
- Other WRs have to start contributing.
- I did not like the play calling in the red zone (this is my opinion) - CU has some tall receivers and I would of like to see Clemons and McCullough on the field with PRich in the Red Zone. Thornton should also be a threat down there. Team settles for 3 too often.
