SDSU halftime thoughts
(Written by kencraw)
Cal trails 21-31, but of the 31 points they’ve given up, 21 of them have been free gifts (fumble, kickoff return, pick-6). Cal should be leading right now. The defense is doing OK, barely. If they could actually tackle, they’d be doing on the good side of fine.
That sequence before halftime was pathetic. Webb gets “sacked” because someone is within a couple feet of him, then he throws two out patterns of little use. Then, and this is the one that baffles me, the punt. Even if you’re not going to throw the Hail Mary, why would you risk a punt? Just run around for 3 seconds and let the clock expire.
Cal needs to do two things to have a shot at winning:
- No more turnovers/free points
- Not let the SDSU defensive line cause havoc that disrupts Webb.
