Decided to scrap this dynasty until roster glitch is fixed. I don't want it to affect Madden. Sucks because I already put a lot of time into it, but look forward to Coach Jeremiah Wile's dynasty teams once the patch is in full effect. Ta

TJ Borcky making one of his team-high 60 receptions.

After yet another rainy day and dismal showing, the Rams still manage to come away with another win. But over a poor team like San Jose State, 3 points is not a wide enough margin. Pete has not looked the same in practice or games since his slip-up after halftime of the Utah State game. Many say he is on the edge of losing his starting position, even though he leads the league in passing yards. Matt Yemm receives this week�s Player of the Game honors in a 17-14 win. The Rams� next home game versus Fresno State is an extremely important one. Although 1-2, Fresno State opens conference play versus CSU. They were pre-season favorites to win the conference, along with San Diego State. Now that the Rams are in the discussion for winning the WAC, they are in for a tough battle with the Bulldogs.

Thankfully it was a nice day for a change. Jeremiah felt the team had had a good week of practice, too. The opening drive by the Rams was beautiful, Pete throwing 6-8 and Chris running 6 yards in for the score. Unfortunately for the Rams, Fresno State has Robbie Rouse. Robbie�s strong running game has them tying the game at 7-7 one drive apiece. The next two drives on either side are stopped quickly. Right when it looks like the Rams are going to punch it in again, a linebacker picks Pete off. Karma strikes back and two plays later, they lose the ball on a fumble. Pete throws another interception. Coach Wile at this point has lost a lot of patience for the league�s leading passer. After another stop, he�s sent back onto the field along with ringing ears. He throws his third interception of the half. Wile shows Pete the bench and calls on a beaming MJ McPeek. MJ has been waiting for his chance to make up for his performance in the Rams� first game. Fresno State marches up the field but only gets a field-goal to go up 10-7. With 2:35 in the half, MJ leads the rams to a touchdown to pull ahead 14-10 at the half. The Bulldogs fumble on their first drive of the half, setting the Rams up with great field position. MJ throws a short pass to seldom-seen tightend Cameron Moss for a touchdown. The Rams are up 21-10 before Fresno storms back on their next drive to make it 21-17. Matt Yemm is left wide open in the middle of the field, and MJ finds him for a 56-yard pass, his third consecutive touchdown drive. Unfortunately for MJ, on his next out he goes down with a strained pectoral. Pete Thomas is reluctantly sent back out onto the field. He is automatically sacked on his first play. 3-and-out. Fresno State gets nothing and punts us back the ball at the start of the 4th 28-17. Chris Nwoke carries us up the field again to get his third touchdown. The Bulldogs score on their next drive, and convert the two-point to make it 35-25. Their onside kick fails, but Pete fumbles on the first play to give them the ball at our 46. They get dangerously close, but on 4th and 4 Sisson makes a great stop. Pete throws another pick to give them the ball at our 19. Right when it�s starting to look like this game is going to be decided by the next onside kick, Marcus Shaw steps up and captures the game-sealing interception. Colorado State wins the hard fought game, and Chris receives Player of the Game honors.

CB Marcus Shaw seals the deal for Colorado State.

The Colorado State Rams continue their WAC domination with an easy win over New Mexico State. Despite his horrible last game, and McPeek�s excellent one, Pete Thomas gets the start again. Many believe that this will be his last one. Coach Jeremiah Wile made a statement after the blowout 47-21 victory. He said that both Pete and MJ should look forward to a gauntlet type of practice this bye week, with the winner getting the next game�s start. Chris Nwoke receives Player of the Game honors for the third time this season, now leading the team in the award. Unfortunately for him and the team, he went down in the 4th quarter. Look for Raymond Carter to start in his place for the next two weeks.

1/3 Season Update

Posted on July 30, 2011 at 09:39 PM.

(0)

Chris Nwoke had his best game of the season against Utah State.

If not the rain, then Pete must have been affected by the loss to Colorado. On the very first play, he throws an interception. Instead of Coach Wile�s customary �wild� reaction to an interception, he looked relatively calm when talking to Pete on the sideline as Utah State easily scored. Thankfully, next drive Colorado State is right back in it. Chris started the game running the ball extremely well. Score is tied 7-7 when Mychal Sisson forces a fumble and recovers it to give the Rams excellent field position. Pete tosses a short pass to his favorite receiver TJ Borcky to lead 14-7. Pete is looking much better than he did at the start of the game, finishing the half 10/15 on 145 yards. Shortly after his touchdown, TJ goes down for the second time this season. TJ and Pete are close friends, and perhaps the injury created a distraction for Pete and caused him to fumble and throw an interception on his next two drives. Going into the 4th the Rams have the lead 28-24. Pete did not look the same after TJ went down, throwing his 4th interception in the 4th. Despite the countless chances Utah State received, they could not come through with another score. Chris Nwoke had an excellent game, rushing for over 200 yards, 3 touchdowns and earning Player of the Game honors. TJ Borcky will return next game at San Jose State.

The Rocky Mountain Meltdown

Posted on July 30, 2011 at 05:58 PM.

(0)

Coach Wile had heard what the community was saying. He saw what it was doing in preparation. He still was not ready for the Rocky Mountain Showdown at Invesco Field. It was the biggest crowd he�d had screaming around him since the glory days. Ray Polk was an intimidating prescence on the Colorado team. Jeremiah hoped his offense was ready for this caliber of a defensive squad. The first handful of drives on either side go unsuccessful until Colorado opens up the scoring with a field-goal. Powerful stoppers Thomas Rippy and Curtis Cunningham had been shutting down Chris on every run he�d attempted. Pete Thomas hadn�t gotten into any sort of rhythm. Things weren�t looking good with twenty seconds left in the half down 13-3. But Colorado brings the blitz on the wrong play, and Matt Yemm burns them for a 75-yard pass from Pete to enter the half 13-10. Thomas and Borcky were seemingly working the Colorado defense to start the 3rd quarter, and Jeremiah was feeling confident that the team would pull this one out. That is until the apparently incapable offensive line allows it�s 5th sack on the battered Rams quarterback. Poor Pete was hit so hard the ball went bouncing, gobbled up by the Colorado defensive linemen. Nuku Latu returns the favor, forcing a fumble and recovering it to get the offense back the ball. They manage a field-goal to tie it 13-13 early in the 4th quarter. Colorado gets the ball back and dances up the field to a 20-13 lead, killing off a good chunk of clock in the process. Pete steps up on his next drive, hitting multiple receivers on three consecutive 20+ yard passes to tie it 20-20. Colorado is amazingly stopped on their next possession, giving the Rams the ball 20-all with 3:58 left. Unfortunately, after being sacked for the 7th time, Pete throws a pick on 3rd and 20 to set Colorado up with an easy touchdown. The Rams could not weather the storm, and Colorado wins the Rocky Mountain Showdown in a fantastic bout 27-20.

After the game, Coach Wile agreed to answer a few questions for the Rocky Mountain Collegian.

RMC: �So Coach, the obvious question is, what went wrong?�

Wile: �Our line went wrong. You can�t expect Pete to get into rhythm getting sacked seven times a game. You can�t expect Chris to carry the team when the line is getting outworked and there are miniscule holes.�

RMC: �And what do you plan to do about the issues with the offensive line?�

Coach Wile grins.
Wile: �Well, there�s only one thing we can do right now. Weston, Connor, Joe, and the rest of the line will have a very long week of practice ahead of them. Of that you can be assured.�

RMC: �Many have said that this game was the most important of your schedule this year. How do you feel about losing, and how do you feel this affects your chances in the WAC?�

Wile: �I am obviously very disappointed. I felt we had the edge coming in. I felt we had a lot of great opportunities to pull ahead and win it. It�s sad to see our run end so soon, but this will have no bearing on our chances in the WAC. We�re still undefeated in-conference, and I plan on keeping it that way. I won't let this demotivate my guys. Hopefully after kicking Weston�s *** a bit, we can get back on track.�

RMC: �Thank you for your time, Coach.�

A Great Beginning

With swagger in their steps, the Rams arrive in New Mexico as heavy favorites. Pete Thomas gets the start, leaving a grumbling McPeek on the sidelines. Colorado State defense dominates the Lobos on their first drive, leaving Thomas to take the field with excellent field position. On the second play of the drive Chris Nwoke breaks through the defense for a 28-yard rush. TJ Borcky receives his third touchdown pass of the year from Thomas on a short 5-yarder. It was truly downhill from there for the Lobos. Pete Thomas racked up over 350 passing yards, throwing 4 touchdown passes to earn Player of the Game honors. New Mexico was simply intimidated. After falling behind so quickly, all focus and intensity was lost. Wile�s offense continued to pile up stats in this blowout victory.

First home game of the season is versus Hawaii. Coach Wile�s first chance to prove himself. They�re coming off a hell of a week, defeating our rival Colorado 43 � 35. On top of that, it�s pouring rain and the winds are over 10 MPH. Kicking off first as usual, Moniz leads the opposing team to a touchdown on the first drive. Already feeling the pressure, Wile sends Thomas out onto the field to run the 60 Slide. TJ Borcky makes a play yet again for a 36-yard pass. Rams fans would shake their heads on the very next play, as Thomas is picked off by huge linebacker Daley. On Hawaii�s next drive, Moniz is picked by Kawulok. This sets up a fantastic drive led by Chris Nwoke. He just ran it straight up the field for a touchdown on three plays. An action-packed first quarter comes to an end, with the score tied 7-7. Unfortunately for Hawaii, they were just not up for these kind of weather conditions. Borcky goes down in the second quarter, but Pete Thomas & Co. end up destroying Hawaii in the next three quarters. Thomas is awarded his second consecutive Player of the Game award, throwing for over 300 yards and another 4 touchdowns.

The critics have nothing left to say about Coach Jeremiah Wile. Three games into the season, already tieing last year�s wins record. Add to that the fact that Pete Thomas is playing better than ever in Wile�s Run & Shoot system, and that Colorado State is leading the nation in offensive yards and passing yards 3 weeks in. Over 40 PPG doesn�t hurt either. There�s already talk of him replacing current Head Coach Fairchild. Next week is the Rocky Mountain Showdown versus Colorado, and that would be the perfect opportunity to raise his prestige that much more.

The First Test

Wile has his fair share of critics. The Athletic Director confirmed that with a seemingly casual statement. �Winning our first game against Northern Arizona University would be a great thing for you, Jeremy.� Jeremiah hated that. He also expected the criticism. The Rams went 3-9 last year behind true freshman Pete Thomas. There was a lot of pressure to improve that record this year. Most of that pressure is going to be directed towards Jeremiah and the way he handles Thomas, MJ McPeek and explosive halfback Chris Nwoke.

Wile decides to start junior quarterback MJ McPeek despite Coach Fairchild�s recommendation of sophomore Thomas. MJ looked better in practice, and Wile has always preferred left-handed quarterbacks. The Rams offense opens its season inside the opponents 50 after a good defensive stand. After a quick out to TJ Borcky, and a solid run by Nwoke, things were starting to look great. MJ caps off the drive with a beautiful 22-yard pass to Matt Yemm in the in-zone. On NAU�s second drive of the game, defensive captain Mychal Sisson intercepts a careless pass and returns it 75 yards for a touchdown. After another stop, McPeek and the Rams are back out on the field. MJ throws an early pass to TJ on a curl. Coach Wile cringed before it even happened. The Northern Arizona senior cornerback takes one step in and easily picks him off. MJ was not prepared for the earload he would receive upon returning to the sidelines. After throwing another interception on the very next drive, Wile had had enough. He could feel the angry glares of fans through the television screen. So Pete Thomas was back in it, and he had not come soon enough. NAU had tied the game off of MJ�s passes, but Pete was not satisfied with going into the half tied. He and his offense march up the field into the opposing red-zone. With 3 seconds left on 3rd and 3 to goal, Pete throws an off-balance pass to Lou Greenwood, who makes an absolutely spectacular catch to go up 21-14 at the half.

The second half was practice for Pete Thomas and the Rams. Although he had a great game running the ball, Chris Nwoke had no touchdowns this game. Thomas went on to throw three more touchdown passes, and only one interception.

Coach Wile and his offense ultimately win the game for the Rams. The Lumberjacks were simply outscored. TJ Borcky is awarded Player of the Game honors for his 8 catches and 2 touchdowns. After this offensive showing, it is certain that many of the critics will be silenced. However, the Lumberjacks of NAU are certainly not known for their defense. The next few weeks will show how effective Wile's Run & Shoot offense really is.

'Wild' Coach Wile: The Jeremiah Wile Story
7.16.11
"Big news coming in this morning for you Colorado State fans, former Penn State quarterback Jeremiah Wile has signed a one year deal as the Rams' new Offensive Coordinator. Wile played behind Todd Blackledge for Joe Paterno in the early 1980's. Led by Blackledge, Paterno, and Wile, the team bested Georgia to win the '82 National Championship. Wile was passed in the NFL Draft, but has since coached several successful football teams in high school. Nonetheless, Wile is a long-shot and the deal has left many of us here at CSU skeptical. We wish you luck Coach Wile, you'll certainly need it!"
