Missed opportunities, missed field goals, pre-snap penalties doom the Bears in their first ACC game
The scoreboard at Doak Campbell said the Seminoles won the game 14-9, but it’s hard to figure out how Cal let this game – which would have sent the Bears’ hopes soaring – get away.---Cal guard Sioape Vatikani had to be strapped onto a stretcher and taken off the field on a cart after suffering an injury in the second half. “He is being evaluated at a local hospital and he’s got movement in his extremities, which is good news, but that’s all I know right now,” Justin Wilcox said after the game.
---Cal had 23 first downs to 17 for FSU, and the Bears had a 14-5 advantage in first downs in the second half. “Yeah, we’ll discuss every position and who’s doing what,” said Wilcox, who in the past had expressed completed confidence in Coe. “He’s got a lot of talent and he’s been impressive in practice, and he hit that 52-yarder like it was nothing, and then we missed the two 38s.”
Cal drove inside the Florida State 15-yard line on five different occasions, and those five possessions netted the Bears just six points.---Cal reached the Florida State 12-yard line. That resulted in a field goal.---The Bears had first down at the Florida State 13-yard line. Cal got nothing on that possession.---Cal reached the Florida State 12-yard line late in the game, trailing by five points. Again Cal came away with nothing, as Mendoza took a sack on the fourth-down play.
