The Wild West | A West Texas Outlaws Dynasty

In 1948, Northwestern defeated Cal 20-14 in the Rose Bowl. 65 years later, the Wildcats returned to Pasadena, looking for their first bowl victory since that win over the Golden Bears. Throughout the course of the regular season, the team relied on the stellar play of senior runningback Mike Trumpy to spearhead their 4th ranked offensive attack...and this game was no different. Up against #6 Louisville and their 23rd ranked defense, Trumpy rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown off 20 carries, and also led the receiving corps with six catches for 59 yards and another score to lead the Wildcats to a 29-17 win over the Cardinals. Senior quarterback Kain Colter's play must also be applauded, who completed 19 of 39 passes for 214 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Senior kicker Jeff Budzien also had a great impact, hitting all three of his attempted field goals, all of them from 40+ yards away. But it was Northwestern's 98th ranked defense that truly surprised, limiting Louisville to less than 300 total offensive yards and seventeen points, and allowing just three successful conversions on twelve 3rd down attempts.

Oklahoma was a preseason favorite to win the BCS national championship, but those dreams were derailed with losses to bitter rivals Texas and Oklahoma State during the regular season. Still, the 8th ranked Sooners (10-2, 7-2) did manage to land a spot in the Allstate Sugar Bowl against #4 Wisconsin (10-2, 7-2) in a battle of BCS juggernauts. Oklahoma came into the game with the 2nd ranked passing attack and 11th ranked defense, while Wisconsin boasted the 3rd ranked rushing attack and 14th ranked defense. It was supposed to be an epic clash between two of college football's best teams...but instead, Oklahoma stole the spotlight. Led by senior quarterback Drew Allen, the Sooners put up 461 yards of total offense, while their defense held the Badgers to a season-low 14 points in a 33-14 victory for the team. Allen finished off a fantastic senior season by completing 14 of 26 passes for 268 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception on his way to being named player of the game. His go-to man was senior Jaz Reynolds, who had three catches for 86 yards and two scores. On the ground, the dynamic duo of runningbacks Jonathan Miller and Roy Finch combined for 114 yards and a touchdown off 21 carries, and Groza award winner Patrick Lumpkin hit two of his three attempted field goals, including a 44-yarder in the fourth quarter. On the other side of the ball, Wisconsin suffered a multitude of mental errors in their 2nd straight BCS bowl loss, racking up 14 penalties for a loss of 117 yards. Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Walker award winner James White rushed for 149 yards and both of Wisconsin's touchdowns off 29 carries, but could not carry the team to victory all by himself.

In the 2014 Discover Orange Bowl, statistics meant nothing. NC State came into the game with a +17 turnover differential, the best in the country, but turned the ball over four times against the Bulls while only recording one recovered fumble for themselves. Each team averaged 30 points per game during the regular season...combined, they barely managed 33. And in a battle of NC State's 11th ranked passing attack versus USF's 10th ranked pass defense, the Bulls were a clear winner, recording three interceptions en route to a 22-11 BCS bowl victory. The Wolfpack's junior quarterback Tyler Brosius threw for nearly 2,700 yards and 26 touchdowns during the regular season, but against South Florida he managed to complete just 29% of his passes for 166 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. Senior runningback Mustafa Greene was the only bright spot for the offense, as he rushed for 73 yards off 11 carries, and also had a 71-yard TD reception. Defensively, Heisman award winner Jarvis Byrd (CB) failed to make a meaningful impact, recording six tackles on the day. As for the Bulls, they were led offensively by backup runningback Marcus Shaw, who carried the ball 28 times for 113 yards and a touchdown in his relief role for starter Bradley Battles, who left the game early with a foot fracture. Senior quarterback Bobby Eveld also played his part, completing 12 of 27 passes for 170 yards and a touchdown, and scoring on the ground as well. But defense is where the team truly excelled, holding NC State to 300 total offensive yards, and forcing four turnovers in the team's 2nd straight BCS bowl victory.

South Carolina seemed destined to appear in the BCS national championship before closing the season with back-to-back losses against Florida and Clemson to finish 10-2 (8-1) for the second straight year, just one win away from winning the SEC east both seasons. But their regular season performance was good enough to land them a spot in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl as an at-large bid against the unranked Big XII champion Kansas Jayhawks, a definitive underdog. The Gamecocks held a commanding 20-3 lead at halftime until Kansas came surging back in the third quarter with 21 unanswered points to take their first lead of the day. But they couldn't contain star runningback Marcus Lattimore, who scored on the ground and through the air in the final twelve minutes to propel his team to a 34-24 victory. Throughout the regular season, South Carolina boasted one of the most balanced offensive attacks in the nation, but against the Jayhawks they let their ground game take center stage as seniors Andrew Clifford (QB) and Marcus Lattimore (HB) combined for 203 yards and two touchdowns off 36 carries, while third-year sophomore runningback Shon Carson carried the ball seven times for 51 yards, giving the team hope for a bright future when Carson takes over the starting spot as a junior next season. Clifford also completed 16 of 31 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns through the air to give the team 495 total offensive yards, but also threw three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown late in the third quarter by Kansas' senior quarterback Tyler Patmon, who recorded his 8th pick of the year. But the Gamecocks' defense would not be outdone, picking off three passes of their own, and limiting Kansas to less than 300 yards of total offense for the team's 2nd straight bowl win.

I was really hoping for Mike Trumpy to win the Heisman, but Northwestern had a good season nonetheless.

Seems like your W.Texas team has "turned the corner". I will be interested to see how that affects your recruiting.

Click to expand...

Next year will be absolutely crucial to the success of this team. I'll be a four-star team, and have to bring in an outstanding recruiting class...because I can tell you this, we are going to suck next year. The good players I had are going to be gone. So we'll likely regress to a 3-star team in 2015.

#2 TEXAS LONGHORNS (13-0, 10-0)
VS.
#1 FLORIDA GATORS (13-0, 10-0)


BCS_Pic.png


The Rose Bowl has played host to the BCS National Championship game four times, and Texas has made an appearance in the game the past three times, making Pasadena a lucky place for the team. In 2006, Longhorns legend Vince Young led his team to a 41-38 win over USC. In 2010, Colt McCoy's unfortunate injury knocked him out the game early, and Texas never recovered in a 37-21 loss to Alabama. 2,927 days...that's the amount of time that has passed since Texas was last crowned national champions, but that wait is officially over. The offense racked up over 400 yards, the defensive recorded four turnovers, and Connor Wood recovered from an early interception by throwing four TD passes to lead the Longhorns to a 31-22 victory over the previously unbeaten Florida Gators on their way to earning the title of 2013-2014 BCS National Champions as the only undefeated team left standing.

After forcing a three-and-out on their first defensive series, Texas looked primed to take an early lead with their offense poised in the redzone. But senior Matt Elam (SS) intercepted a poorly-thrown pass by Connor Wood, and returned it 97 yards to give the Gators an early 6-0 after a missed extra point attempt. The momentum had swung in Florida's favor, but the nation's top-ranked passing attack would not go down quietly as Wood connected with second-year freshman Nathan Hamilton (FB) and third-year sophomore M.J. McFarland (TE) twice over the next 20 minutes to give the Longhorns a solid 21-9 lead at halftime. Texas would expand on the lead in the third quarter with Wood's fourth TD pass of the day to junior John Harris, and a 29-yard field goal to increase their lead to 31-9 with just one quarter left to play. With his back against the wall, Florida's junior QB Jeff Driskel responded admirably, tossing TD passes to junior Hunter Joyer (FB) and senior Andre Debose (WR), but the team's comeback attempt ultimately fell short.

Junior quarterback Connor Wood, the 2013 Heisman runner-up by one vote, responded well to the adversity of putting his team in a hole early with a poorly-thrown pass that was returned the length of the field for what was likely a 14-point swing on the scoreboard. Wood didn't have a Heisman-esque performance, but he did complete 13 of 29 passes for 218 yards, four touchdowns, and two interception on his way to being named player of the game. Heisman finalist Marquise Goodwin (WR) was shut down by Florida's stout secondary, catching just one pass for seven yards, but the rest of Texas' wide receiving corps stepped up in his absence. Junior John Harris had caught three balls for 46 yards and a score, and tight ends Dominique Jones and M.J. McFarland combined for 127 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions. The offense was as impressive as they had been all season, racking up 406 total yards and four touchdowns in the win, but the defense must also receive a good amount of the credit. While they did allow the 325 offensive yards, the Longhorns' defense also recorded one sack, three interceptions, and recovered a fumble to improve the team's turnover differential to +19, far and away the best in the country.

For the Gators, their dreams of winning their third BCS national title in the last ten years, and bringing home a second straight national title home to the state of Florida after the Seminoles' victory over Wisconsin last year have been dashed. Junior quarterback Jeff Driskel had a rough day under center, completing just 12 of 24 passes for 117 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions, and also rushed for 64 yards off 17 carries. Junior runningback Mack Brown led the offense both on the ground and through the air, carrying the ball 15 times for 88 yards, and recording four receptions for 50 yards, while junior Hunter Joyer (FB) had seven carries for 37 yards, and 15-yard TD reception. Florida's defense recorded three sacks and two interceptions, but couldn't slow Texas' high-powered offense down enough to allow their ground game to close the gap. This loss is especially hard for the team, who fell just one win short of completing the first perfect season in school history. But hope springs eternal for the Gators, as they will likely return a sizeable chunk of their starting lineup to the field next year, barring a rash of early exits for the NFL draft.

Another thrilling college football season is in the books, and a national champion has been crowned. Now teams will turn to the offseason, where the final touches will be put on recruiting classes as all 120 teams prepare for what is sure to be another great season.

A few quick recruiting notes:

The lower-tier Michigan schools managed to land some prime talent. Central Michigan grabbed Brad McCray, the top-ranked HB recruit with 95 speed, who will start immediately for the team. Eastern Michigan grabbed Reggie McAfee, the #2 HB recruit, who will take over as starter once senior Javonti Greene graduates at the end of this season. And Western Michigan landed athlete Andy Burley (78 OVR), ranked #14 overall, who has been converted to wide receiver and will take the #1 spot on the depth chart as a true freshman.
 
This recruiting class seems to have separated yourself from the rest of the Sun Belt schleps with the exception of Troy. Two more QBs, though?
 
2014 ROSTER PREVIEW
-OFFENSE-


Roster_Preview_Offense.png

FRESHMAN QUARTERBACK BRANDON PRESTON LEADS A REVAMPED WEST TEXAS OFFENSE​


QUARTERBACK
Charles Dickson's two-year stint as the Outlaws starting quarterback was lackluster to say the least, but it appears to have come to an end after losing out to second-year freshman Brandon Preston a in a heated three-way battle for the starting spot in the spring. Preston doesn't have any college experience, but he's a well-balanced young player who has plenty of room to improve on this young offense. Backing him up will be senior Charles Dickson, who could regain that starting spot should Preston struggle early. Brett Brown rounds out the depth chart at #3, while new recruits Lee Robbins and Mike King will redshirt in 2014.

RECRUITING: Dickson's exit at the end of this season opens a hole on the roster at quarterback. The Outlaws will heavily target three-star prospect Jeremy Clifford, a pocket passer out of Richland Hills, Texas.


THE BACKFIELD (HB/FB)
As an athlete out of Seagoville, Texas, Eddie Rucker was the gem of the 2013 recruiting class. Now he'll take over the starting spot at runningback as a second-year freshman, with some pretty big shoes to fill after the departure of DeShaun Sands. Senior Tyree Melton will resume his backup role as a change-of-pace back, and is followed by freshman T.J. Meyer, senior Andrew Brown, and sophomore Derrick Thomas on the depth chart. Rucker will likely factor prominently into the Outlaws' offensive gameplan, but head coach Major Applewhite will look to ween this team off their run-heavy mentality, and transition into a more balanced offense over the course of the regular season. At fullback, senior Joe Lilly enters his third and final season as the team's starter, backed up by sophomore Martin Miller.

RECRUITING: West Texas has six runningbacks on the roster, but with two set to graduate at the end of the year, they'll be active at the position when it comes to recruiting. Four-star prospect Chris Johnson out of Dumas, TX currently has the Outlaws listed as his #1 choice ahead of BCS schools like Texas A&M and Baylor, and could make an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2015 if he commits. Pickings are slim at the fullback position, so look for the team to recruit an extra tight end to move into the position vacated by Lilly at the end of the season.


RECEIVING CORPS (WR/TE)
Three of the team's top four receiving targets from a year ago are graduated, making way for a new-look receiving corps in 2014. Leading the charge is senior Cam Beach, who had seven catches for 148 yards in limited play as the team's slot receiver last season. Second-year freshmen Reggie Robinson and David Hill will see heavy playing time as well at #2 and #3. Sophomore Van Sanders and true freshman Dan Griffin round of the depth chart, while new recruits B.J. Allen and Shane Dixon will redshirt. At tight end, third-year sophomore Van Ricks moves from backup to starter in 2014 to replace the recently graduated Chad Clark. Second-year freshman Jason Simmons will see playing time in two tight end sets, and senior Marvin Watson rounds out the depth chart at the position.

RECRUITING: Five of the team's seven wide receivers are freshman, which makes this group unexperienced, but also gives them unlimited potential to grow into a solid unit in the years to come. Cam Beach's departure will open up a hole on the roster, which the Outlaws hope to fill by recruiting speedy four-star prospect Jason Harris out of Fort Bliss, TX. Harris currently has WTU as his #2 school behind Texas A&M, but ahead of LSU. As for tight end, the team will likely target three-star prospects David Merrill of D'Iberville, Mississippi, and Ryan Dukes of Roma, TX.


OFFENSIVE LINE
Junior David Cox (LT) is the only returning member of the team's 2013 starting lineup on the offensive line. He will be joined by seniors John Quinn (RG) and Robby Mooney (C), sophomore Luke Burks at left guard, and second-year freshman Kevin Douglas (RT). Filling the primary backup roles will be true freshmen Darnell Richardson at guard, Kevin Douglas at tackle, and junior center Stephen Goddard. Kyle Browning (T), Shelton Crosby (G), and Jimmy Evans (C) will all redshirt this season, and are all talented enough to immediately challenge for a starting spot next year.

RECRUITING: The team will look to target one player at each position on the offensive line. The most likely targets are four-star recruit Ryan Weber (T), and three-star recruits Brian Wiggins (G) and Nolan Fields (C), all of whom hail from Texas.


TOTAL RECRUITING TARGETS: 9 (In addition to the eight offensive targets, the team is also recruiting four-star prospect Anthony Coe, an athlete out of Colleyville, TX who has WTU as his #2 school behind Texas A&M)
 
2014 ROSTER PREVIEW
-DEFENSE-


Roster_Preview_Defense.png

TRUE FRESHMAN NICK BOWERS (DE) IS THE UNDISPUTED LEADER OF THE DEFENSE​


DEFENSIVE LINE (DE/DT)
Four-star prospect Nick Bowers out of LaGrange, GA was a surprise addition to the recruiting class in the spring, and immediately steps in as perhaps the most talented player on the entire roster. Playing opposite him is senior Ryan Downs, who returns to the starting lineup after recorded 42 tackles and 4.5 sacks last season. Second-year freshman Rodney Anderson and sophomore Reggie Lacey occupy the backup positions, while Josh Brown and Oliver Berry will redshirt. At defensive tackle, senior Sam Browning returns to the starting lineup, and will be joined by junior Perry Lynch, a JUCO recruit out of Amarillo, TX in 2013. Lynch will replace senior Bryan Martindale as a starter, who will now play backup along with Jamaal Jack.

RECRUITING: Three of the team's four defensive tackles will graduate at the end of the season, so this will be an extremely active recruiting area in 2014. Four-star prospect Jon Smith of Keller, TX, and three-star prospects Eric Browning of Wagoner, OK and Wallace Brown of Opelousas, LA are the main targets. It's unlikely that the team will look to recruit any additional defensive ends.


LINEBACKER CORPS (OLB/MLB)
Sophomore Clay Miller is the only returning starter to the linebacker corps after the graduation of defensive leaders Chris Kiniry (OLB) and Tom Terry (MLB). He will be joined by Thomas Robinson (OLB) and true freshman Thomas Payne, who will be moved from outside linebacker to middle linebacker. Freshman Taylor Bentley, sophomore Antoine Potts, and seniors Jared Welsh and Anthony Harley will be the team's primary backups, while recent recruits Joe Fisher and Darrell Palmer will redshirt. Much like the wide receiver position, the Outlaws are very young at linebacker, and are hopeful of what this group can do in the future as they rack up experience.

RECRUITING: There are two open spots on the roster at linebacker heading into next year, which the team hopes to fill by adding four-star prospect Matt Brown (OLB) of Mission Bend, TX, and three-star prospect Michael Pollard (MLB) of Durant, Oklahoma.


CORNERBACK
All six of the team's cornerbacks are back from a year ago, with little change to the pecking order on the depth chart. All eyes will be on Thomas Bray, who recorded 65 tackles, five interceptions, and two touchdowns as a freshman in 2013. Sophomores Zach West and Nate Williams, who combined for 37 tackles, five interceptions, and a touchdown last season will resume their roles as #2 and #3 on the depth chart, respectively. Second-year freshmen Brian Clemons, Jermaine Hall, and sophomore Bryan Bowser round out the depth chart.

RECRUITING: For the second straight year, don't expect the team to target a cornerback unless a real star lands in their lap.


SAFETY (FS/SS)
A.J. Smart and Alfred Billings are graduated, opening the door for a pair of new starters in 2014. Those roles will be occupied by senior Aaron Gibbons (FS) and true freshman Joel Little (SS). Lawrence Carlson and Justin Williams will play backup, and Erik Jack will redshirt in anticipation of taking over for Gibbons as a starter in 2015.

RERUITING: WTU will look to add three players to the roster at safety for next season. Four-star prospect Josh Moore of Andrews, TX, and three-star prospect Joel Woods of Anderson Mill, TX, who currently has the Outlaws as his #1 school of choice, are the likely targets at free safety. Four-star prospect Adam Dunn (SS), who is currently playing his high school ball in WTU's hometown of Odessa, has the team listed as #2 behind Texas A&M.


SPECIAL TEAMS (K/P/RET)
Junior Vernon Weaver will take over for the recently graduated Caleb Reynolds at kicker, while junior Clint Weaver will resume his starting duties at punter. Recent recruit Miguel Witherspoon will redshirt in anticipation of nabbing a starting spot in 2016. Senior wide receiver Cam Beach will handle the kick and punt return duties.

RERUITING: Don't expect any new recruits here.


TOTAL RECRUITING TARGETS: 8
