Episode Synopsis

Cal's double-overtime loss to Virginia Tech wasn't just a defeat, it was a defensive meltdown. Coach Wilcox didn't mince words, blasting the very, very poor tackling that led to a staggering 357 rushing yards allowed—the most under his tenure. Virginia Tech's Kyron Drones and Marcellous Hawkins ran wild, exposing Cal's inability to stop the run. A missed field goal in regulation and continued defensive lapses in overtime sealed Cal's fate. With a brutal schedule ahead and Virginia's potent run game looming, Cal must fix its tackling woes or risk missing a bowl game for the third straight year.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
