This team turned a Top 10 ranking into a bottom feeder in a heartbeat. Falk may never climb out of this hole. His Heisman chances went up like so much smoke. The Air Raid was far worse than the air quality ratings in the Bay Area. But the defense also was exposed. With your top three inside linebackers out, you make a bad offense - and one missing its top RB - look good.
This game ultimately is on the coaching staff. It absolutely failed in preparing this team both schematically and mentally for this game. There are NO excuses.
