Another win in the books. This time edged out Ohio Bobcats 22-18.
QB- 18/31, 247 yds, 1 TD 1 INT
HB- 29 carreies, 120 yds, 2 TD
WR- Neutz (white stallion) 7 receptions, 115 yds, TD

My project HB did very nice and improves his stats to 400 yds on the year. We are 4-2 and 2-0 in the MAC.

EDIT anyone know wtf is going on with y highlights? I save them, but when I go to find them in the ea sports highlights section there is nothing.

UPSET! UPSET!

My boys just played one HELL of a game and beat Tennessee 22-16!!!!

QB went 20-39, 291 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT. That SEC defensive speed was too much for my run game. Only mustered up 71 yards on 22 carries with my project RB, BUT he converted 1st downs on crucial times. I spread the ball around a lot to different receivers.

Fucking ecstatic. 3-2.

Congrats on the big win. Something about the CC this year makes big games really exciting. I think it is because part of the game is out of your hands. It's like watching on the sidelines and hoping the other half of your team can do their part.

You got Buffalo rolling now. Ohio is one of the better teams in the MAC, so it should be a good barometer for how you might fare against the rest of the conference.

Welp, ended up finishing 7-6 (5-4) in 2014 with Florida State, and lost the Music City bowl to Cal 34-28.

Quick stats:
Burley (QB) 153/305 (50%) 2,504 yards 21 TD 14 INT
Freeman (RB) 245 att 1,830 yards (7.5) 16 TD
Greene (WR) 46 receptions 988 yards (21.5) 10 TD

Luke Fickell got canned in the off-season after a 5-7 disaster (Went 28-24 overall; 9-4, 7-6, 6-7, 5-7), and tOSU tabbed me as the new head coach, so it looks like I'm headed home to Columbus. They currently sit at 3* prestige, and the Big Ten is very tough with Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Michigan all owning the best marks in the country since the dynasty began and Illinois also went 11-2 this past season.

Interesting dynasty notes:
- LSU gave the SEC it's first natty of this dynasty as they destroyed Miami 45-17 in Glendale. Previous NC's: Stanford (2011), Georgia Tech (2012), Florida State (2013)

- In 2013, Michigan State came into the B1G title game undefeated and got beat by Wisconsin, ending their NC hopes. This year, Wisconsin game in undefeated and Michigan State returned the favor.

- Alabama fired Nick Saban, and promoted OC Jim McElwain to HC.

- Oregon fired Chip Kelly, and brought in Wisconsin OC Paul Chryst (The style change is hilarious).

- Iowa fired Kirk Ferentz and Oklahoma DC Brent Venables got hired as his replacement.

My defense flops in the 4 as I throw for over 4 hundred yards. Lost to Temple 52-42.

My project at RB Broke his ribs again and is out another 3 weeks. 4-3, 2-1 MAC.

I love this thread.

 

[Golden Taters]

After bring Wazzu from a 1 star to a 4 star, my team is having a down season. Plus, my starting QB for next year sucks and I hate him so I might have to jump ship. Thinking about coaching a MAC or Sun Belt team for next year, any thoughts?

 

[Rylo]

Why not move to ACC or someting instead of shitty conferences. Especially with your coaching succeses.

I like a challenge, so I might just look for struggling BCS schools. I just need out of the Pac 12.

Is that on the web? If so, they have to be uploaded not just saved to your HD. I haven't saved a highlight since the first week of having the game.

I wish you could try to talk a kid to come with you to your new school (ex. Briles/Griffin III when he moved from UH to Baylor), like you do when a kid is thinking of transferring. I put this suggestion in the OS NCAA '13 wishlist thread.

 

[Rylo]

I don't evem see an option to do that though lol

Just had an UGLY 16-8 win over Utah.

My offense couldn't do shit and was inconsistent all night. We lost Matt Barkley to a concussion at the end of the first half. Jesse Scroggins came in and played ok, but, I really had to grind out another win. Barkley left the game 8-13 for 112 yds. Scroggins had the only TD pass of the entire game - a 4-yard toss to Kyle Prater in the back of the end-zone to put us up 16-5.

Not much offense at all in this game as we only had 294 total yards and Utah only had 248. My offense has to be on-point for our matchup, at home, with #4 Oregon.

After this game, we moved from #13 in the polls to #7. Also, Matt Barkley will be back for the game against Oregon, so I am hoping we don't continue our inconsistent offensive play...like we did against Utah.

Recruiting has been a battle as of late as well. A nice 3-star OT prospect gave a "soft" verbal to Oregon State, but, I am only 1 point behind, so I hit him hard this week and scheduled a visit.

I am also targeting 4 CB prospects because I need secondary help and right now...I am battling Boise State for two of them. Looks like we might split them. John Fox is leaning towards Boise and recruit Michael Holmes is leaning towards signing with me at USC.

I also got a "soft" verbal from 4-star WR William Rhodes out of Irvine, CA. I have a pretty hefty lead over Stanford right now, so I suspect that "soft" verbal will turn into a "hard" verbal and commitment in the near future.

I soooooooooooo want to play the Oregon game tonight, but, it is late and I want to be focused for it lol...I don't want to just play it to play it...hoping to square off with the Ducks tomorrow night.

Just finished my 3rd season (1st as HC) for Kent St. Came back to win the MAC Championship against NIU....down 24-7 in in the 2nd...won 35-24. Going back to GoDaddy.com Bowl against Troy (again). Won Coach of the Year with a 10-3 (8-1) record. Wisc. RB, James White, won the Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Walker Award but did not win the Heisman....that went to VT's Tony Gregory (238 carries, 1449 yds, 17 TDs, 5 fumbles). J. White had 219 carries, 1647 yds, 16 TDs, 0 fumbles.

edit: Championship Game

Rematch...Badgers won at home 35-28 OT. Badgers are #1 Coaches, #3 Media....Noles are #3 Coaches, #1 Media and are playing #4 Boise in the Orange Bowl.

 

[Rylo]

Just beat NIU 38-31. Once again threw for 300+ yards. My iron man CB/HB had an INT and 30 carries for 168 yards and 2 TD's.

We are 5-3 now and have a huge game next week against Miami (OH). I am sitting at 3rd in the MAC right now and if I win I will shoot to the top. If I lose I will probably drop to the 4th or 5th spot and be totally out of contention as Miami is 3-0 right now to my 2-1.

 

[ryne candy]

After the season, I just entered CC to see what jobs where available but with no intention to go anywhere. Sure enough TX A&M offers me the HC job but I rejected because it was too soon for me...I want to take time this time around. I won't be entering CC again till my first recruiting class as a HC graduates in 4 years. Afterwards, I will take a OC position at a big name school or HC at a school bigger than a MAC school.

edit: Can a coach get fired before their contract expires? If not, I may wait for another coach to be the HC at TAMU before even trying out...the new guy there got a 4 year contract.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Started a new OD as the OC of UNLV. My goal is to eventually be the HC at USC. Before I started the dynasty, I made some team changes. I replaced WKU and MTSU with Grambing State and Georgia Southern. I replaced Akron, Kent State, and BGSU with Montana, Montana State, and Eastern Washington. I moved those three teams to the WAC. I also replaced Buffalo and Ball State with Harvard and Yale.

In our first game we went on the road to play 11 Wisconsin. I didn't expect to win the game, but I thought it would be a good measure on how good we can be. We lost the game 21-14, but overall I was impressed. Our QB, Caleb Herring, had a solid game. He went 11-19, 207 yards, and 2 TD's. One thing he does bad is take off too early. He needs to get better at staying in the pocket, and letting the play develop. The running game didn't do much. Our top RB, Bradley Randle, had 14 attempts for 55 yards. Michael Johnson, one of our WR's had a big game. 5 receptions for 105 yards and a TD.

Im in year 2019 at Duke as the DC, my second year there in a 2-year contract. First year had 9 wins and beat the #1 and #3 teams in the country. The #3 team was Miami, and I won it 22-21 with a 4th down stop at the 38 yard line (don't know why they didn't kick the FG). This year, we were ranked #16 at 7-1 and they were #15 at 5-3. Duke won the game 21-20 haha. Moved us up to #11, and The U down to #25. Our next game was against V-Tech who was ranked #17. Beat them by a field goal and moved up to #9!

It gives me a heart attack every time the offense steps onto the field, though. They can either play like the Packers and throw TD's all game, or play like the Browns...and do absolutely nothing. In more than one game, all of the scoring has come from my defense via pick 6's or fumble return TD's. Making my hair turn gray!

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Terrible second game. Went on the road to play Fresno State. Lost the game 24-10, and didn't do anything on offense until garbage time. Herring went 17-30, 212 yards, and a pick. The offensive line played horrible this game. I think I used a 6-man protection just about every play.The running game was ineffective again. My second string RB is going to be the starter next game. The one positive was WR Michael Johnson. He had 5 catches for 71 yards.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Almost won my first game, but lost at home 28-20 to Hawaii. We were having a great drive at then end of the game, and got into the redzone, but we ran out of time. The turnovers and short field opportunities killed us. We had two short field opportunities off of turnovers, but I believe we only got 3 points out of it. We turned the ball over four times. Herring had a solid game. 20-29, 257 yards, 2 INT's, 16 Att, 1 FUM and 67 rushing yards. I didn't realize that my starting RB has been hurt the first two games, which has hurt my running game. He ended up getting injured again. He wasn't really effective anyways. WR Phillip Payne had 7 catches for 116 yards.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Playing #1 Texas at home. First series my MLB breaks his tailbone and is out for 11 weeks. I'm somehow leading 21-14 right now at half time. I had the chance to go up 28-14 right before half as my star receiver got behind the defense and I threw a bomb, hit him in stride and he drops it. My back up senior QB is making a case to the starter right now though. Hopefully I can hang on and get the upset.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

Just had a thriller against NMSU. We kick a FG to make it 21-20 with three minutes left in the 4th quarter. Our defense does it's job, and we get the ball back. Our backup QB is in the game, because Herring got injured on the last drive. Sean Reilly went 4-4 on the drive for 59 yards. We got to the goaline, and Deante Purvis ran it in for the TD with six seconds left. We won the game 26-21, and got our first win of the season. This was the third ESPN Classic for us this season.

The last two games I've been using a lot more Shotgun, and it has been working very well. Our running game was terrible again, so I might change to a playback that is more Spread oriented. WR Phillip Payne had 8 catches for 93 yards.
