Unfortunately for Cal, we’ve reached the point in the season where excuses for individual games don’t hold up to the weight of the evidence that the team isn’t very good this year. Twenty points per game won’t cut it in 2020. The supposedly steady hand of Chase Garrbers has wobbled in the transition to a pro-style offense. The defense has shown a propensity to give up big runs and the Ducks are averaging over two bills per game on the ground. Oregon State and UCLA both demonstrated that Oregon is vulnerable to the run, as well.
