How come no one is talking about the pop up kick off after tying the game? Was Brewster ever asked about this? I thought this was a big turning point and there was no reason to do it. Especially the way the Gophs were kicking of and pinning them deep. This allowed Cal to pin MN deep. Big mistake. Kick it deep, you had the momentum! Get good field position and take the lead and then feed even more off the home crowd and you have a good chance at a win. It made absolutely no sense to do the pop up. Gophs ended up will ball at their own 2 yard line after that. It was this play more than any other that lost the game. Gophs weren't going to go 98 yards. Brewster panicked - felt he had to do a gimmick. Tried to overcoach. His D was shutting them out in the 2nd half and his O just scored a touchdown. You can't make decisions like that and win very many big games.
