Game Changing Play

[GoldenHerbs]

In the 4th quarter tied 21-21, Cal was sacked on 3rd down and Cal should have been punting. However a false start was called giving Cal another shot on 3rd and 15, I felt sick right away I knew that extra chance was gonna kill us and sure enough first down. They drive and are up 28-21. Momentum theirs, Weber Pick, Gameover.

I was so excited watching this game and now so sad but proud of the way the team played.

I wouldn't call that a sack, the QB stopped trying about half way through the play.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Yeah, half the players stopped playing. It was just a few players who couldn't hear the whistles.

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Still the game changing play, we needed to get the stop and failed.

I thought our inability to stop Cal on the 3rd and 15 was the play that changed the game -- not the penalty before.

Easily the game-changer. We made no adjustments to their passing game when they altered in the 4th quarter since we were stopping the run. Too many big cushions for their receivers.

+1. Collado not doing his job on that play was the turning point of the game.

I agree the whole game changed here, DID see it as a sack (or at least a likely sack had the whistles not sounded) and felt the Gophers had to have that play stand at the time to win. When the penalty was called, I had a sinking feeling. Yep.
