BERKELEY, Calif. – Mike Leach was apoplectic as he addressed the media after Cal’s 37-3 upset of his eighth-ranked Washington State football team Friday night at California Memorial Stadium.
“There is no bright spot,” Leach said. “We were pathetic. We were a bunch of pathetic front runners. Their guys played hard and ours didn’t. That’s where it all starts. Their effort far overshadowed ours.”
He’s right. Any way you look at it, this one was very much a team collapse. It’s hard to pick out any silver lining.
So what went wrong against the Bears? Everything, it seemed.
