Let's talk about that 20 point lead. Every Pac-12 win of the Sonny Dykes era aside from our Oregon State wins has come down to the final play. What do you think are the big reasons Cal struggles to close games or can't pull away from their opponent? Coaching, talent, the level of quality of the other opponent, etc?
boomtho: The biggest reasons are an offense that specializes in big plays but struggles to methodically run the ball (and thus keep the clock moving), and a defense that is fighting to the best of their ability but is undersized, undergunned, and prone to giving up large chunk plays.
