Bye At The Right Time
After seven straight weeks of football, Kent State finally gets a break. The bye comes before their final game of the season, after losing two straight road games. After a close loss to rival Bowling Green, fans were shocked when they fell to a two-win Buffalo team.

Not one to give excuses, Head Coach Billy Gonzales has been disgusted with the inconsistent play of his team. A young team has gone through growing pains in 2012. Seven road games, five home games, a new focus for the offense and a struggling defense. All just part of the recipe for another losing season in Kent.

The team still wants to finish the season strong and beat their bitter rival Akron. A win would be the third straight win, and allow the Flash to retain the Wagon Wheel trophy. It won't be easy as Akron enters with a 6-3 record and a chance at winning the MAC East.

The Zips are already bowl eligible and Kent would love to play spoiler, trying to carry momentum into the off-season. This off-season could bring more changes as many expect D.J. Durkin to no longer be calling plays for Kent's defense and may be out of a job. A smart and respected coach, in the mold of Urban Meyer, he has struggled to take the reins of a once heralded defense.

Injuries to the defense has made Durkin's job tough, most recently the injury to linebacker Luke Batton. He will need surgery to repair his torn quadricep, a tough end to his career at Kent State.

Another losing season, Gonzales will have a worse record in his second year as Head Coach. Even with less wins, the football department still sees signs of growth and the Athletic Department has retained Gonzales as their Head Coach for next season. He will not be fired, being given a vote of confidence from the University.

Recruiting News and Updates

Kent State
Brown and Pleasant In On Bye
Another week and Kent State have added to their growing list of commitments for the 2013 Recruiting Class. What will be Coach Gonzales' third class as coach, and second class that was entirely brought in by his staff.

This week, they earned their first verbal commitment from a three-star player. Kicker Chad Brown was being recruited by some of the biggest programs in the country; but the Missourian went with the Golden Flash. Getting to play early and replace Freddy Cortez was attractive to the fourth ranked placekicker in the country. A strong leg, he is a kickoff specialist that also has had experience as a punter.

Head Coach Gonzales and Special Teams Coach Jim Fleming would be happy if the nation's fourth best kicker is the highest rated player of their recruiting class. They know the importance of a good special teams and were happy to bring in someone with Brown's ability.

The other player to commit is the team's fourth defensive end to commit. While it seems strange, it is a position of need and also some players are versatile enough to play more than end. Like Jason Pleasant, who could play linebacker like he did his Sophomore and Junior seasons. The pass-rusher is also the seventh player from the state of Ohio, Chad Brown being the only 'not' from Ohio.

This week, the team will host six players taking official visits and also hope to wrap up more commitments before a dead period in recruiting. Currently at eight players, the entire staff expects a full class of 25 players this year.

Nice job winning to end the season, still a disappointing finish, however.

Nice job winning to end the season, still a disappointing finish, however.

I completely agree, after the Bowling Green game, I just simulated the Buffalo game, I had no interest in playing it. Tough season, but it was nice to beat Akron.

Recruiting News and Updates

Kent State
Seven Commit After Big Visit
The 2012 season has come to an end for Kent State. After a strong defensive performance by the Golden Flash in their final game; it gave the team a third straight win over Akron. By beating the rival Zips, it gave Kent four wins, and some momentum for an important off-season.

The team will be losing some valuable pieces, none more important than Tyshon Goode. Now Kent's career reception leader (at 253), replacing him might take more of a team effort at the receiver position. After the Akron game, seven players in total committed to Kent for next season. One might help to replace Goode, receiver Terrance Johnson.

Johnson comes from Lincoln Park, Michigan, a city south west of Detroit and close to the Michigan-Ohio border. Targeting Northern Ohio also meant stops into Michigan, and the team brought in a receiver that has the skill set of a potential #1 receiver.

Johnson-to-Johnson might be something Kent fans might have to get used to hearing in the near future. Dustin Johnson, not the golfer, but the Senior high school Quarterback from a suburb east of Pittsburgh. He has a strong arm and was between Akron and Kent. He had favored Kent, but after they beat Akron, it led him to commit to be a Golden Flash.

Johnson expects to step in as the team's back-up, and will compete with Cedric McCloud and Ryan Davis next year to be the team's back-up to the oft injured Chris Finley.

Also on the offensive end, the team added an athlete that could be a starting offensive lineman next season. Mike Scott has played defensive line as well, but has found most of his success at guard. In his senior year, he moved over to center and could be the team's answer to the graduating Josh Kline.

A big body and skilled pass blocker, Scott is one of the few freshman who committed this week that could start in 2013. Lamar Jones, a power back who took his official visit last week, could also challenge Dominique Thomas for playing time.

Three defensive players might not play early, but all bring some much needed depth. Safety Zach Doyle, who hails from nearby Marion, is a balanced defender that must improve on his zone coverage as a safety. Michael Alford has all the necessary tools, but has battled injuries and stamina issues in his high school career. Not the fastest player, Alford is a solid tackler and finds a way to get involved on every play.

Finally, the team got a commitment from Anthony Smith, a junior college player and the team's second commit from the state of Michigan. Playing football for Alma College, he will enroll early and thinks he can find a spot on the team next year. He just wants a chance to play at the FBS level.

Recruiting News and Updates

Kent State
3 Commit, 7 Scholarships Remain
Just before a dead period in terms of recruiting, Kent State was able to add three more commits to their growing 2013 Recruiting Class. It will be Gonzales' second class as full-time Head Coach. Going into the off-season, he will still have seven scholarships to give, to take the number to 25.

Currently, 18 are committed, with three players adding a week after multiple players committed following the Akron game. Most notably, the team added another defensive end Mike McCray. The brother of Marcus, a guard who will be a sophomore next season.

Coming out of the Cleveland area, McCray had a senior season good enough to land him at a FBS school. Originally interested in Youngstown State and not being given a scholarship from a FBS program; late in the season, Akron, Eastern Michigan, and Kent all offered scholarships.

Picking to play with his brother, he joined the same week as another potential lineman, Ryan Cox. Too small to play offensive line, he played both in high school. He has room to bulk up and may need to. He does have the skill set to play right away. A great run blocker, he could find a spot on an offensive line that is losing five starters.

Finally, the team added an all-purpose back in Sidney Campbell. Campbell is a true full back that is a phenomenal lead blocker and short yardage back. He could push Dominique Thomas and others for playing time. Mainly because his bruising style is different from many of the backs already on the roster.

The team still has needs at receiver and offensive line. They will also be targeting help at linebacker, and also looking for Freddy Cortez replacement at punter. While the have one listed on the roster, the team could still be in the market for more special team's help. They have seven more spots to fill and plan on using all of them to aid the team that will be losing 15 players and 12 starters to graduation.

1. Too many one-star players.

2. You seem to have the most realistic dynasty in terms of wins and losses I've ever seen. What are your sliders?

1. It would be great if I wasn't fighting for those one stars, I think I need to tone down the recruiting difficulty.

2. As for sliders, I am always tweaking, but I would start with this: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...h-sliders.html

I use 7 minute quarters and then when I record when scoring plays happened, I just double the time of plays, to make it look realistic. I'm not by my PS3 or I would give you what I have exactly, right now, but like I said, that post is a good starting point.
