The hardest games to say anything about are blowouts that pretty much everybody saw coming.
Any Cal win is fun to talk about. Close Cal losses will have nice moments and critical plays worth breaking down. And at least with unexpected blowouts, you can spend time trying to figure out why the game played out differently than anticipated.
But that game? ‘Well, we knew they were better and then they proved it.’ Trenchant insight, isn’t it?
This was always the most unwinnable game of the year. Washington is probably the most talented team in the conference.
