What happened
Cal beat Wagner 49-7 and moved to 2-1, which sounds like a fine Saturday until you listen to the people who watched it. The turning point wasn't a score at all; it was a punt bouncing around in the hands of someone the fanbase has already sentenced, with one verdict reading, "Man is never touching a punt in a real game again." Elsewhere, a comparison to a high school powerhouse drew nine upvotes: "Pretty sure De La Salle would smoke em." Misery dipped to 53. Winning helped, barely.
What fans said
“You may end up the first ever person with dual flairs to lose to Cal in consecutive weeks. Not a taunt. I think this feeling might be pity.”
