ND finally pulls one out in an Emac chise!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I knew you would be thrilled about that especially how many times they blew it in my last dynasty. They are losing Clausen, Tate, and Allen though I think. But they have a great class coming in.

Quizz was beast, and he should do wonders for you next year.

James is gone though. :(

I've got James for one more year. He could have left early but he didn't. I didn't even have to convince him to stay.

The Bears are gonna tear shit up next year.

I think you might be right about that.

[size=+2]Joe Paterno Retires, Brian Kelly Hired[/size]

Legendary Penn State head coach Joe Paterno has decided to retire after winning the Rose Bowl. Paterno leaves the game on a high note. The university decided to hire Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly who led the Bearcats to an 11-2 record and nearly won the Sugar Bowl in a memorable shootout. Kelly has built Cincinnati into a Big East power to be reckoned with. He will bring his high scoring offense and aggressive defense to Happy Valley. "It is a real honor to follow in the footsteps of a legend and I can only hope to add to the legacy of Penn State football," Kelly said.

[size=+2]Bobby Bowden Retires, Chris Peterson Hired[/size]

After a 5-7 season for Florida State, legendary head coach Bobby Bowden also decided to retire. But what came as a surprise was that the university decided to also part ways with offensive coordinator and the coach in waiting, Jimbo Fisher as the offense has not looked too spectacular in recent years. The media speculated for a few weeks as to who FSU wanted. Florida State decided on Boise State head coach Chris Peterson who has built a WAC program into a perennial BCS buster. It was thought that Peterson was happy to stay put in Boise but Florida State offered him a contract that he could not refuse. "I have really enjoyed my time here in Boise and I think I am leaving them in good condition to conitnue success," said Peterson. "I look forward to the new challenge that awaits me in Tallahasse. We're going to get Florida State back to where it was in its prime.

[size=-5](left) TE Joe Allen (center) QB Kyle Nicholson (right) CB Mike Cook[/size]

Corvallis, OR - The Beavers' incoming class was ranked #22 according to Rivals. The top prospect was TE Joe Allen from Spring Valley, California. Allen is rated as the top TE prospect of this year's class. His ability to catch the ball in traffic over the middle will help move the chains in the future. But do not expect him to see the field soon as he will certainly red shirt with senior Brady Camp and junior Joe Halahuni ahead on the depth chart. In addition to Allen, the Beavers also landed the #7 TE David Jacobs from Los Angeles. So even though Howard Croom and John Reese will be gone, this will continue to be a strong position at OSU.

An area of emphasis seemed to be at the CB position as Oregon State added two 4-star prospects in Mike Cook from Huntington Beach, California and Eugene Burnette from Meridian, Idaho. Cook is raw but has a lot of potential. He is very fast, athletic, has a good vertical, and excels in man coverage. Burnette is also great in man coverage but probably does not have the athletic potential of Cook. The Beavers' coaching staff is also excited about a local Oregon prospect CB Josh Hammond from Cedar Mill. Hammond has surprised defensive coordinator Mark Banker with his pressing and coverage skills.

Another area of emphasis was on the offensive line. Even though this year's offensive line should be great, the Beavers want to keep it that way for the future. Four-star G Dallas White from Milwaukie, Oregon will have time to get up to speed as he will almost certainly be red shirted. For a pass blocking guard, White also has impressed with his run blocking skills. Joining White in this year's class is 3-star G Robert Andrews from Lakeside, California and two junior college transfers; G Shane Todd from Santee, California; and C Corey Freeman from Sultan, Washington. None of these big guys will probably play but it does give Oregon State depth on the offensive line if they need it.

Another local prospect that the Beavers like is three-star OLB Sean Hunter from Canby, Oregon who has shown to be a tough run stopper who gets off of blocks to make plays. Oregon State also added another QB to the mix in three-star Kyle Nicholson from Redwood City, California who will primarily be a pocket QB. Nicholson has a pretty good arm and is tough to bring down in the pocket as he is able to elude pass rushers. With Justin Engstrom, Peter Lalich, and Ryan Katz ahead of him on the depth chart, Nicholson will almost certainly be red shirted. However, that position will be up for competition according to Mike Riley.

QB Kyle Nicholson 3* Redwood City, CA #38

[size=+2]#13 Oregon State Preview[/size]

When we last left the Beavers, they had just finished off South Florida in the Sun Bowl to finish the season in the top ten. Last year was a season of many accomplishments for Oregon State. Most importantly, the Beavers finally got a win at the Coliseum against USC. But also the Beavs finally were able to get a win at Tempe against Arizona State to end that decades' long curse. In addition, Oregon State was finally able to beat a non-conference team on the road even if it was against UNLV. Then you add a Civil War win to give Oregon State back-to-back wins at Autzen Stadium and a defensive dismantling of USF in the Sun Bowl to give the Beavs back-to-back Sun Bowl victories. Beaver Nation will be looking for bigger things this year as Corvallis is already talking about the Rose Bowl.

In order to get there it will all start up front on offense and Oregon State brings back four starters on the offensive line. This will be a much improved group from last year's inexperienced line. Junior LT Mike Remmers will anchor this line. But he should not be the only guy to shine as seniors, G Burke Ellis, RT Timi Oshinowo, and C Alex Linnenkohl all look to have improved under the tutelage of one of the best assistant coaches in the nation, Mike Cavanaugh.

If this offense is to have any success though it will all come down to redshirt sophomore QB Ryan Katz who has yet to take a single snap. Going into the spring, Justin Engstrom looked to be the favorite to win the job, but Katz had a fantastic offseason to leap ahead of Engstrom and the transfer from Virginia, fifth-year senior Peter Lalich. Katz has a lively arm and better mobility than meets the eye. But he has a lot to learn. Just how fast he can develop will probably determine the season for Oregon State.

QB Ryan Katz

With an inexperienced QB, the Beavers will turn to their sensational tailback, Jacquizz Rodgers who has come back even quicker and more agile than he was previously. Mike Riley is expecting a huge year for Quizz as long as he can stay healthy. Especially with a strong offensive line, Quizz should be more dynamic than he was last year and will help Katz in the passing game. Also offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf has professed that he would like to get Quizz more involved in the passing game as he only had 13 receptions last year. Quizz has looked so good this fall that it would not surprise anybody in Corvallis if he becomes a Heisman contender by season's end.

HB Jacquizz Rodgers

Katz may be inexperienced but he will be helped out by three senior receivers. Including older brother of Jacquizz, senior WR James Rodgers. Mike Riley is really excited about the development of James and expects a really big season for the diminutive playmaker. "James has just really picked up his route running," said Riley. "He's just running tight, crisp routes and making great catches down the field. I think Ryan and James have really built up a great rapport with each other." In addition to James, Darrell Catchings is also back and we will help take coverage off of James. As Catchings is also a threat. But a guy that will probably surprise Beaver fans this season is senior Reggie Dunn who has been known more for his kick returning ability. Dunn will be in the slot and has exceptional speed. In this offense, Dunn should be really explosive.

WR James Rodgers

The Beavers do lose their starting TEs from last year, Howard Croom and John Reese. But senior Brady Camp and junior Joe Halahuni look ready to step in. Camp is more of a blocker and will likely be a good fit since this likely to be more of a run team. Halahuni is the better receiver but look for Dunn and Jacquizz Rodgers to get more receptions to offset the loss of Croom which might be more significant than expected.

On the defensive side, the season looks really bright except for one possible weakness in the secondary. The defensive line will be solid. Oregon State was one of the top rushing defenses in the nation last year and that trend will likely continue. "We make it a priority to force teams to be one-dimensional," said defensive coordinator Mark Banker. Senior DT Stephen Paea is back for his final year who had eight sacks last season. Paea is a force in the trenches the just creates havoc in the backfield for opposing offenses. Paea is quickly shooting up NFL scouts' lists and will be joined by underrated senior DT Mitchell Hunt. The Beavers should also be strong on end with junior DE Kevin Frahm who also had eight sacks.

DT Stephen Paea

The defensive line is clearly the strength of this defense but the linebackers should not be overlooked. Though Oregon State will be without their outstanding OLB Keaton Kristick, junior MLB David Pa'aluhi led the team with 98 tackles last year and will look to lead this group. Joining him on the outside is senior OLB Keith Pankey played great last year especially in the Civil War. This will likely be one of the best front sevens in the Pac-10.

OLB Keith Pankey

As good as Oregon State should be up front, the secondary might decide this defense's fate this season. Mike Riley was able to convince FS Suaesi Tuimaunei to stay for his senior season. So Oregon State has a preseason All-American at safety. He will be joined by All-Pac-10 junior SS Lance Mitchell. But at corner, Oregon State will be starting senior James Dockery and junior Brandon Hardin. Both have limited experience and will be the biggest question facing this defense. If those corners can get up to speed, look out.

Just read this whole thing amazing job. Loved the Oregon State history n I loved all the College Gameday then I loved how Notre Dame handily beat Florida for the NC. Keep this up man I'm for sure followin

Thanks for following. Notre Dame was a real surprise. I have no idea how they beat Florida especially while losing Clausen and Crist and having to go with Montana at the end. But those turnovers did in the Gators. Let's see how long the Irish winning streak lasts. I believe that makes 14 in a row counting the victory over Hawai'i at the end of last year.

WHAT!

THE!

FUCK!

u gotta be kidding me. seriously? damn

I don't really pay too much attention to the transfers but that one really stood out. I had to post it. The funny thing is he will probably be pretty successful in that style of offense at Army. Still pretty freakin' ridiculous!

I would go with Lalich, put in Katz if their is any trouble imo

I'll keep that in mind. I like to keep the best overall in so I don't give myself an advantage over the CPU since they only put in their best overall rated players.

Chris: It's that time again. College Football is finally here! *crowd cheers* We are here in Boise for a big matchup out west. The Broncos are coming off of a memorable Sugar Bowl victory over Cincinnati but will be without their head coach Chris Peterson who is now getting ready for his first season with Florida State. Offensive Bryan Harsin will start his first game today as the head coach for Boise State and he will look to continue the Broncos' amazing 55-game winning streak at home here on the smurf turf. *crowd cheers* Facing them will be a tough Oregon State team who finished last year strong behind some great defensive efforts and the explosiveness of the Rodgers' brothers. So we'll get to our picks for this game and preview some other games around the nation. But right now let's look at the preseason rankings and some Heisman favorites including Boise State's own Kellen Moore... *crowd cheers as the camer focuses on a "Kellen Moore for Heisman" sign*

QB Kellen Moore (Boise State) - 4035 yds, 39 td, 9 int
WR Avery Holley (Florida Atlantic) - 105 rec, 1298 yds, 22 td
WR David Gilreath (Wisconsin) - 70 rec, 1112 yds, 15 td
HB Jeffrey Demps (Florida) - 933 yds, 14 td, 551 rec yds, rec td
QB Tyrod Taylor (Virginia Tech) - 3061 yds, 23 td, 12 int

Chris: Okay. It looks like the headgear is here. Time for your picks on this one here.

Kirk_Herbstreit.jpg

Kirk: I know that Boise State has a high flying offense led by Kellen Moore but they will be playing a tough Oregon State defense. The points will not come so easy today. The Beavers have a huge advantage in the trenches. DT Stephen Paea and DE Kevin Frahm are going to be giving Boise State pressure all game long. And OSU will give the Broncos a heavy dose of the Rodgers' brothers. The only thing that gives me pause if I'm a Beaver fan is starting a green QB in Ryan Katz on the road in this hostile environment. But the Beavs snap that 55-game home winning streak here in Boise. *crowd boos*

corso_color.jpg

Lee: Kirk. Not so fast! First one of the season sweetheart! *crowd cheers* Oregon State is strong up front defensively but has inexperience at corner. Kellen Moore is going to have a field day against that OSU secondary. And the Beavers are starting redshirt sophomore Ryan Katz in his first game here on the smurf turf. Ehhh...forget about it! *Lee puts on the Buster Bronco headgear as the crowd goes wild* Go Broncos!
