#15 TEXAS LONGHORNS (5-0, 3-0)
VS.
#14 KANSAS ST. WILDCATS (4-1, 1-1)
Case McCoy has commanded the starting spot for a little over one year at Texas, finally putting to rest a heated race at quarterback. But on Saturday, junior David Ash opened up the floodgates once again, turning in a solid performance in place of an injured Case McCoy to lead the Longhorns to a 31-16 victory.
Case McCoy completed just 3 of 5 passes for 15 yards before leaving the game in the 1st quarter after taking a nasty hit. McCoy was later diagnosed with a concussion, and his status for next week's game remains unknown. In his first significant playing time this season, Ash performed admirably, completing 9 of 16 passes for 198 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. McCoy has been positively average through the first five games this season, completing just 46% of his passes for 631 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions. Many feel that Ash could perform just as well if not better on a weekly basis, and also brings his tremendous speed to the table for an additional factor that defenses must account for on every play. Coaches are keeping quiet about the situation, but it's possible that McCoy could sit longer than usual under the guise of recovering from his concussion while the team re-evaluates Ash. Leading the receiving corps was Jaxon Shipley, who had four catches for 91 yards and a score. Senior Mike Davis (pictured above) only had one catch, but it was a 53-yard one-handed TD reception to break a 10-10 tie in the 3rd quarter. As for the ground game, Malcolm Brown rushed for 70 yards off 15 carries, but it was backup Joe Bergeron who saw the biggest workload, carrying the ball 19 times for 91 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, the Longhorns failed to force any turnovers, but they did record five sacks on their way to limiting Kansas State's offense to 220 yards and just one touchdown in the loss.
As for the Wildcats, injuries to their key offensive stars spelled disaster in the team's second loss of the season. Sophomore Daniel Sims, filling in for injured starter Tavarius Bender, completed 5 of 11 passes for 80 yards, and rushed for 34 yards and the team's only touchdown before leaving the game with a bruised throwing shoulder, an injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for three weeks. The starting spot then fell to 3rd string QB Tim Walker, a true freshman who completed just 2 of 13 passes for 15 yards in the loss. Groundwise, DeMarcus Robinson rushed for 87 yards off 19 carries to lead the offense after starting runningback John Hubert left the game on the team's first offensive play of the day with a sprained ankle. Kansas State's defense forced three turnovers, but failed to put up a decent pass rush, and simply could not keep Texas' run-oriented offense from putting up 423 yards and four touchdowns.
Halfway through the 2013 regular season, the Longhorns have yet to feel the bitter sting of defeat...but all bets are off next week when they head to Dallas to take on Oklahoma in the annual Red River Rivalry, one of college football's most storied battles. Stay tuned for our full game preview.

LONGHORNS ADD THREE MORE TO BRING TOTAL TO 11 RECRUITS
We're only midway through the 2013 regular season, and Texas has already filled 11 of their 12 roster holes for next season. The latest round of recruits committed following the team's win over Kansas State, and are highlighted by five-star prospect Ronnie Moss, the highest-rated prospect to join the team so far. Listed as the 18th overall prospect, and #3 coming out of Texas, Moss is an extremely versatile player who could fill a number of holes. Coaches feel as though Moss could transition to several different positions, including fullback, linebacker, and anywhere on the offensive or defensive line, making it difficult to predict where he may wind up. It's likely that decision will be made by any juniors that leave early in the spring, opening a spot for the talented Moss. Also joining the team is four-star prospect Robert Royal (CB) out of Clifton, New Jersey, the 6th ranked recruit coming out of that state. In high school, Royal has displayed a good amount of speed as well as tremendous skill in both man and zone coverage, but his tackling leaves something to be desired. Four of the team's six cornerbacks on the roster are in their freshman years, so Royal may have some difficulty seeing any significant playing time early in his career. After a redshirt season, Royal could have a chance at competing for the nickelback slot on the depth chart. Finally, the team welcomes four-star prospect Andrew Chapman (G) of Tucson, Arizona, the 2nd ranked recruit coming out of the state. Chapman fits right into the playing style of the Longhorns, exhibiting his best skills in run blocking. Chapman is the third o-line prospect to commit to the team, and will surely play a vital role on the offensive line in the coming years.

QB ASH NAMED STARTER VS. OKLAHOMA
It's not clear if Case McCoy is still feeling the effects of his concussion from last week, or if the team would simply like to re-evaluate their quarterback situation a little more. Regardless, junior QB David Ash has been named the starter for next week's game against arch-rival Oklahoma after he completed 9 of 16 passes for 198 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception in last week's 31-16 road win over Kansas State.
TOP-RANKED PROSPECT ROWE COMMITS TO GEORGIA
The #1 overall prospect available in 2013 according to nearly every major scouting group has officially made his decision, committing to play for Georgia. Will Rowe is an athlete out of Yeadon, Pennsylvania, measuring in at 6'4" and 206 lbs.. In other recruiting news, Texas currently had the 3rd ranked recruiting class in the nation after their latest round of commitments. But the biggest winners so far have been LSU, with six commitments from five-star prospects.

I think its cool that you sim the games. With all these ranked wins, you should be staring the top 10 right in the face.

I find it's a lot more gratifying if you can win the big game, because there's no human intervention, it's all about recruiting, managing the depth chart, and playing to your strengths as far as the offensive gameplan.

#8 TEXAS LONGHORNS (6-0, 4-0)
VS.
#25 OKLAHOMA SOONERS (3-3, 2-2)
To begin the 2013 Red River Rivalry, the Sooners received the ball, but were forced to punt after just a handful offensive plays. With just over ten minutes left to play in the first quarter, the Longhorns took over for the first time, and set the tone on their first offensive play of the game when Joe Bergeron (pictured above) broke free for an 81-yard touchdown run. It was a sign of things to come, as Texas went on to rack up 516 total offensive yards (371 of them on the ground) in a one-sided 33-14 victory to give Oklahoma their third straight loss of the season.
David Ash didn't set a new standard for QB play in his first start this season, but he performed at least as well as McCoy through the first five games of 2013, completing 12 of 25 passes for 145 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. His go-to man was senior Mike Davis, who had three catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns. The team's success through the air can be directly attributed to a ground game that look untouchable all day long, as Malcolm Brown led the effort with 187 yards off 28 carries, and backup Joe Bergeron added 142 yards and a score off just 12 carries. Defensively, the Longhorns were simply stunning, recording six sacks and two turnovers in addition to limiting the Sooners to 278 yards of total offense and just 14 points. Texas' defense now leads the nation with 26 sacks on the year (an average of nearly four sacks per game), and have allowed just 82 points, or 11.7 points per game, the lowest total for any team to play at least seven games this season. The Longhorns also only allow a score 53% of the time in redzone situations, the lowest percentage in college football, and rank 3rd with just thirteen redzone trips allowed for opposing offenses all year long.
As for the Sooners, it was another painful loss for a team that has been defeated in four of their last five games, and are now unranked and below .500 after debuting at #4 in the preseason polls. Senior quarterback Drew Allen, the team's undisputed offensive leader, completed just 12 of 28 passes for 172 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. And in keeping with their year-long tradition, Oklahoma was decidedly ineffective when running the ball, gaining just 106 yards and a touchdown off a combined 33 carries for an average of 3.2 yards per touch. This came in stark contrast to Texas' 6.5 yards per carry on the ground. Oklahoma's defense recorded two sacks, and senior Aaron Colvin (CB) had five tackles and two interceptions, but they also allowed 517 yards of total offense in the loss. Fortunately for the Sooners, their schedule gets a great deal easier from here on out, with games against Kansas, Texas State, and Baylor on the slate in the next month as they look to salvage what has so far been a disaster of a season.
Dreams of a national title berth are alive and well in Austin, but the Longhorns would be wise not to overlook their next opponent, who surprised them with a 26-21 victory last season. Fortunately, this one will take place in the friendly confines of DKR Stadium as Texas plays host to #25 Texas Tech (4-3, 2-3), who upended TCU 33-30 in triple overtime last week to snap a three-game losing skid against ranked conference opponents. As always, the Red Raiders have relied on their high-flying passing attack this season, but an injury to third-year sophomore QB Michael Brewer has put senior backup Brant Costilla in the driver's seat, and the team has seen a noticeable decline in their biggest offensive asset. Brewer suffered a season-ending broken wrist in a 24-22 win over New Mexico, and the team has since gone 1-3 without him after starting the year 3-0. Also worth nothing is that fact that Texas Tech ranks 114th when guarding against the run, a stat that smells like disaster with one of college football's most fearsome runningback duos set to take the field.

How do you split carries like that when simming? Also do you adjust your run/pass slider depending on opponent? Basically could you just give me a rough idea of how you do things coach wise. Enjoying the read and would like to implement some ideas into my own dynasty. Also do you allow transfers/early entry players to just leave or do you attempt to bring them back with promises?

I actually don't control those split carries, that's just how it works out...I've never figured out how to influence that. My run/pass sliders I rarely every change, but I do re-evaluate them at the beginning of the year to suit my team. As far as transfers, I accept all of them, but I do not convince any players who attempt to transfer or graduate early to stay.

QB ASH NAMED STARTER VS. TEXAS TECH AND BEYOND
Case McCoy has been given a clean bill of health by team doctors after suffering a concussion against Kansas State, but he won't be returning to the starting spot for the foreseeable future. After passing for 343 yards and six touchdowns over the last two games, junior QB David Ash has been named the team's starter going forward. Coaches have said that quarterback will be a weekly evaluation for the team, but it's hard to imagine the offense falling back into the hands of McCoy after his average outing to begin the season.
INJURIES FORCE CHANGES TO OFFENSIVE LINE
Texas' 33-14 win over the Sooners came with a bit of bad news as well as the team lost two starters on the offensive line. At right tackle, Garrett Porter will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone, giving the starting job to second-year freshman Kennedy Estelle. At center, junior Dominic Espinosa will miss at least the next two games with a high ankle sprain, and will be replaced by freshman Curtis Riser until his return.

-RIVALRY GAME-
#25 TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (4-3, 2-3)
VS.
#5 TEXAS LONGHORNS (7-0, 5-0)
Through the first five games of the season, Case McCoy threw for 631 yards and eight touchdowns. David Ash matched that production in just 2 1/12 games, and has now thrown for 677 yards and eight TDs in 2013 after leading the Longhorns to a 40-24 win over in-state rival Texas Tech.
In his second start of the season, David Ash completed 18 of 36 passes for 306 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, by far the most amount of passing yards by the team all year long (their previous highest total was 213 against Kansas State, also done by Ash). His go-to man was Jaxon Shipley, who had three catches for 74 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, Malcolm Brown was his usual dominant self, rushing for 149 yards and a score off 26 carries for an average of 5.7 yards per touch, and also leading the receiving corps with five catches for 63 yards. Backup Joe Bergeron also contributed, rushing for 75 yards off 12 carries. Credit must also go to sophomore kicker Nick Jordan, who hit all four of his attempted field goals, the longest from 43 yards out. Jordan has quietly been having a fantastic year, hitting 12 of his 14 attempted field goals on the season. Defensively, Texas continued their dominance, recording four sacks and limiting the Red Raiders to just 268 total offense yards, which included a measly 38 rushing yards. The team's biggest contributor was junior Sheroid Evans (SS), who had five tackles, one sack, and returned an interception 75 yards for a touchdown with four minutes left to play to seal the deal for the Longhorns. Leading 27-24 heading into the fourth quarter, Texas scored 13 unanswered points to end the game.
On the other side of the ball, senior quarterback Brant Costilla completed 8 of 10 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game near the end of the first quarter with a sprained wrist. With starting QB Michael Brewer already sidelined for the remainder of the season with a broken wrist, the offense fell to second-year freshman Clayton Nicholas, the team's third-string QB, who was woefully unprepared to be thrust into the spotlight of Texas Tech's pass-oriented offense. Nicholas completed 6 of 27 passes for 94 yards and an interception, but did manage to score a touchdown on a quarterback keeper. Speaking of the ground game, it provided little to no relief for a floundering aerial attack, gaining just 38 yards off 18 carries. The only offensive performance worth noting was that of senior Eric Ward, who led the receiving corps with four catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively, the Red Raiders allowed nearly 500 yards and 33 offensive points, but they also took advantage of a Texas offensive line featuring two freshman in starting positions after injuries to their starters last week, recording an incredible eight sacks. No one was more active than senior Terrance Bullitt (OLB), who recorded 16 tackles and three sacks in the loss. Struggling to finish the season bowl-eligible at this point, Texas Tech will take next week off before heading into a two-game road stretch against Rutgers and Oklahoma State. They'll finish their season with home games against Oklahoma and Baylor.
Having already matched their win total from last season, the sky is the limit for the Longhorns as they head into week nine's contest, a road game against Oklahoma State (5-2, 2-2). Sitting just outside the top 25, the Cowboys have rebounded nicely since losing back-to-back games earlier in the season to conference foes Florida State and Clemson, and are now on a three-game winning streak after victories over West Virginia, UTEP, and Iowa State. Sophomore starting QB Wes Lunt is questionable for this week's game as he continues to recover from a broken ankle suffered earlier in the season, leaving the offense in the capable hands of senior Clint Chelf, who has completed 54% of his passes for 990 yards, ten touchdowns, and just one interception through four games.
