Damn. .wanted to play tonight but it's too late now ...

Going in late tomorrow, so I may play in the morning.

42-21 win over CSU. Spent a lot of time tinkering with stuff, but I was up 21 the entire game, so it was never in doubt.

[Radii]

Well, no need for me to worry about how to manage two HB's with 99 SPD on the roster... Freshman RB John Austin carries 4 times for 43 yards in the first quarter before breaking his ribs(many of them i assume :P), suffering a devastating 9 week injury.

That leaves us with basically what we had last year, which works.

NC State beats Boise State easily 38-13 on the blue field in Idaho.

Roberts runs for 203 yards and 3 TDs. Our QB, Mike Glennon would be a superstar on most teams, but I like to run too much so he gets overshadowed. Still, he was 14-16 today for 131 yards. Just not a lot of deep stuff.

[Karlifornia]

USF takes out TCU in Tampa 46-28. My running game appears to be the strength of my time, with three guys who can really run it. I do have some holes on defense this year, but hopefully I can find ways to win most of my games.

Arkansas' ground game was in full force today as we beat Bowling Green 84-21. We ran the ball for 556 yards.

Starting running back De'Anthony Curtis ran the ball 19 times for 221 yards and 3 touchdowns. His backup, freshmen Ricky Bowling ran the ball 20 times for the same amount of yards as Curtis, 221, and 2 touchdowns. 3rd string running back Jerico Nelson played from midway through the 3rd quarter on and ran the ball 16 times for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Tyler Wilson went 10-11 for 213 yards and 4 touchdowns. His backup, 5 star recruit Andrew Turner went 2-3 for 61 yards a touchdown.

Freshmen wide receiver William Castillo caught 6 passes for 150 yards and 4 touchdowns.

UVA wins 34-25 against Nevada, but 6 of those Nevada points came in garbage time.

I still feel like I struggle a LOT on defense. Nevada had some very good skill position guys, but a terrible line, etc - but it felt like I could never stop them. I think I will continue to struggle against ACC opponents, but we'll see.


A note...

Does anyone else use practice? I used it a fair amount over the last couple of day sto get a feel for my team. Then I go play in a real game and it feels TOTALLY different. I'm wondering if sliders aren't used for practice?

I find that practice does has a very different feeling to it. That said, it is still incredibly useful if you want to learn how to run your playbook.

[wade moore]

Yeah, it's good for that aspect. It just gave me a false sense of security in my fast, but not as good at throwing QB.

[Logan]

Are you implying that I'm gonna need 10 months to get thru this cycle?

Schmuck.

A&M picks up where we left off last year with a 45-10 dismantling of 18th ranked Arizona State. We opened up the game with a really nice kickoff return for a touchdown by one of our freshman tailbacks. Up 42-10 late in the 3rd we pulled our starters to get some playing time for the other youngsters.

Next week we host Karlifornia's USF squad. We have a strong team this year but despite close games I have yet to win a single head-to-head matchup against another owner in either the EBFL or NOFL. Hopefully next week we get over the hump and keep our National Championship hopes alive.

[Logan]

Took care of #6 Notre Dame, 45-28. Armando Allen drove me nuts in the 1st half, but I shutout ND in the 2nd. After ND scored to take a 28-14 lead, one of our freshmen WRs Scott Taylor took the ensuing kickoff back for a TD and we never looked back after that. Charles Mays had 11 receptions for 130+ and 3 scores.

It's going to be a BIG adjustment going from the rocket arm of Brandon Weeden to the more reserved Alex Cate. I was terrible with Cate to start the game but got a little more used to him as the game went on. His accuracy is fine but I just can't air it out like I did with my boy Weeden.

[DeToxRox]

Nice work. Only two games left to be played. Keep it up.

[BrianD]

Pitt opened up with a 42-7 win over #21 Oregon State. A solid "bend but don't break" defense gave up about 200 yards but forced 2 picks and two long missed field goals. A mixed run and pass attack lead to 35 points with the final 7 coming from a 102 yard kickoff return.

[Logan]

Who's the remaining holdout?

[DeToxRox]

Looks like just WVUFan.

Hate you. So much.

[Logan]

You respond to his comment and not mine? I'm surprised I didn't get thrown out for it.

I don't need GLAD on my case.
