TCY/FOF: Bare Bones Interactive: YEAR THREE!

[DeToxRox]

Catch up on season two there.

For season three I am not going to add new recruits. I figure it'll be best to hold off until next season (sorry guys), but this just makes it easier. But lets meet our studmuffins.

LAST YEAR
#56 ILB Travis Elkin

RED SHIRT

Biggest Strength: Interceptions
Biggest Weakness: Zone Defense

THIS YEAR
#56 ILB Travis Elkin
6'3, 238 lbs (+6)
Fourth on depth chart

51/96 Rating (+16)
Biggest Strength: Interceptions
Biggest Weakness: Rushing the Passer

Last year Travis was red shirted and he hit the weight room some. He will have a hard time cracking the Georgia 3-4 D at ILB right now as they are anchored by two seniors in Leslie Graham (82/87) and Edwin McCormick (69/69). Just in front of Travis is another senior, Reuben Hampton (59/83). As Travis progresses through the year though, expect him to become the #1 backup and with an injury, crack the starting lineup.

Biggest Strength: Rushing the Passer
Biggest Weakness: Defending the Run

THIS YEAR
#96 DT Mike Rischel
6'4", 299 lbs (+7)
#1 DT

49/76 Rating (+16)
Biggest Strength: Rushing the Passer
Biggest Weakness: Defending the Run

Oklahoma, two time defending National Champions lost their big three at the DT slot last year, and now Mike Ritschel is the man. He'll work in a solid rotation along with junior JC Fogle (46/85) and senior Charlie Terry (44/100) to provide Oklahoma with a nice stop gap up the middle, though Mike might not see many rushing downs if he can't control the run better.

[DeToxRox]

LAST YEAR

#7 WR Rob Nielsen
6'1, 203 lbs (+12)
RED SHIRT

53/76 Rating
Biggest Strength: Catching in Traffic
Biggest Weakness: Kick Returning

3 GS, 13 Catches, 266 Yards, 2 TD

THIS YEAR
#7 WR Rob Nielsen
6'1, 206 lbs (+3)
#1 WR

58/77 Rating (+5/+1)
Biggest Strength: Catching in Traffic
Biggest Weakness: Getting Open

Last year, UCLA had to pull their Red Shirt off of Rob when they lost a few WR to injury. Rob had two games of over 100 yards in the three he played, and showed he is going to be an awesome college WR. This year Jonathan Ortiz (59/100) is academically ineligible, so Rob Nielsen will lead a young cast of Wide Outs into a tough Pac 10. He's predicted 70 catches and 1100 yards this year, but will he be right?

[DeToxRox]

LAST YEAR
#32 RB Al Mighty
5'9", 199 lbs (+14)
#2 RB on Depth Chart

48/67 Rating
Biggest Strength: Third Down Running
Biggest Weakness: Power Running

11 GS, 144 Attempts, 700 yards, 8 TD
23 Catches, 231 yards, 2 TD

THIS YEAR
#32 RB Al Mighty
5'9", 204 (+5)
#1 RB

60/67 Rating (+12)
Biggest Strength: Third Down Running
Biggest Weakness: Punt Returning

Last year Al was the man, and he put together a solid season. This year all of the suspended backs from last are off the team, and no one is even close to Al in terms of ratings. This is his job to lose, and chances are he won't. He does however need a breakout campaign, so 1,000 yards will have to be a must for him this season.

[DeToxRox]

LAST YEAR
#2 QB Charlie Trippi
6'5, 233 lbs (+15)
Opening Day Starter

34/91 Rating
Biggest Strength: Long Passing
Biggest Weakness: Medium Passing

181/329, 55%. 2300 yards, 15 TD, 22 INT
All Freshman QB

THIS YEAR
#2 QB Charlie Trippi
6'5, 240 lbs (+7)
Opening Day Starter

50/91 Rating (+16)
Biggest Strength: Long Passing
Biggest Weakness: Medium Passing

Trippi is back, on a much improved offense, but we still have some problems on the defensive side of the ball. We also brought in a new OC who has worked with the Single Back Formation for 12 seasons. With the development of our younger guys and a new OC, we hope Trippi can make it 22 TD and 15 INT because hey, even we are realistic.

[DeToxRox]

I lied. Our kicker from last year is back, so Tang Le gets to ride the pine and smoke the grass for one more season. THANK GOD.

[DeToxRox]

#5 WR Larry McGillicuddy
6'1", 193 (+13)
RED SHIRT

34/95 Rating
Biggest Strength: Third Down Conversions
Biggest Weakness: Catching the Ball

Michigan is rather loaded at Wide Out, but of their four top guys right now, three are seniors and one is a junior. Larry will be their #3 WR most likely next year, though a good year of development could make him the #2. Needless to say, Michigan is going to love this kid.

[DeToxRox]

#19 QB Colton Mayes
6'1", 191 (+10)
RED SHIRT

10/100 Rating
Biggest Strength: Timing Recievers
Biggest Weakness: Medium Passing

Make no bones about it, Colton is the best QB the Falcons have, but for now he'll develope on the bench. Next year he will start what is likely to be four years as their starting QB. Air Force still likes to run the ball a lot, but Mayes should open up their offense quite a bit when he gets behind center. Plus, he is a deadly play action attack man.

[DeToxRox]

#38 RB Brandon Dean
5'10", 205 (+18)
RED SHIRT

50/52 Rating
Biggest Strength: Third-down Running
Biggest Weakness: Kick Returning

Wow, Dean bulked up a lot. He's now basically a tank out there. His future looks a bit skewed at 52, but his current of 50 makes him a good back already. Miami is absolutely LOADED at RB but again, most of their studs are all going to be gone in two years. Dean will red shirt this year, and be most likely their #2 or #3 back.

[DeToxRox]

#28 DB Brian Butts
6'1", 190 (+8)
RED SHIRT

50/100 Rating
Biggest Strength: Intercepting Passes
Biggest Weakness: Kick Returning

Why oh why is Penn State red shirting this kid? He right now is their third best DB as a true freshman, and if given playing time right now, would become their #1 DB by their sixth game. He is just an absolute monster. McGillcuddy vs Butts in the Big 10 is going to be some amazing football to watch in a few years. I will keep checking on him because I think that Red Shirt will be pulled.

[DeToxRox]

Mississippi State Bulldogs @ Duke Blue Devils

Duke takes us 38-36 in triple OT.

Trippi goes 23 for 32 for 222 yards, 3 TD and 1 INT. He's also sacked 6 times. A solid performance though, even in a losing effort.

Texas A&M Aggies @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
TV 3

The Aggies win 24-17, and Al Mighty only gets 4 carries, yet runs for 32 yards. Stop throwing the ball Notre Dame, you're idiots.

Georgia, UCLA and Oklahoma are all idle week.

[Recoil]

So much for Dean's post college football career. Oh well.

[DeToxRox]

Mississippi State Bulldogs @ Sacremento

Mississippi State wins it 17-10 with 2 seconds list as Charlie Trippi rumbles in from one yard out for the game winning TD.

Trippi: 10 of 26, 116 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 TD rushing

Georgia Bulldogs @ Michigan Wolverines
TV 4

Georgia goes into Ann Arbor and wins 24-21. Travis Elkin however doesn't get into the game today as it was too close for them to risk playing a 19 year old freshman over three senior backs. I wouldn't expect this to be a common theme though.

UCLA Bruins @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Rob Nielsen said he'd be a big time player, and he didn't lie. In his fourth career start, Nielsen was named game MVP in the 38-14 thumping of the Irish. Rob had 8 grabs for 141 yards and 2 scores.

Al Mighty had 16 rushes but for only 28 yards, but he did have 5 catches for 41. It didn't matter, UCLA is too good for Notre Dame right now.

South Florida @ #22 Oklahoma Sooners

.. Oklahoma won .. 94-14. Mike Ritschel played sparingly in the blowout, though he did have 1 solo tackle and 3 assists. It wasn't even funny, as it was 59-10 at the half.

[Ragone]

You can be my agent..

[DeToxRox]

Memphis Tigers @ Mississippi Bulldogs

We lost 41-14 and continue to suck. Trippi was decent, going 13 for 34 for 265 with 2 TD and 2 INT. Well, barely decent I guess.

Clemson Tigers @ #9 UCLA Bruins

Wow. Clemson comes into LA and beats the Bruins 28-20. Nielsen has a solid day, catching 4 balls for 90 yards, but it he is held out of the endzone. I thought UCLA would get playing for the NC, now it looks like that may not happen without some luck.

#1 Oklahoma @ Tulsa

Oklahoma destroys Tulsa 56-0. Ritschel is held statless in the game, but he didn't play much as all the starters were gone by the half. Oklahoma is well on its way to a three peat.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Michigan Wolverines

Michigan wins 31-10, as the Irish start another season 0-3. Al runs 25 times for 67 yards, so finally it looks like the Irish are wisening up to their best offensive weapon. It's about time.

Georgia is idle.

[Coffee Warlord]

We beat Notre Dame. And that's all that matters.

[Coffee Warlord]

Dola. Your god wants to know how bad his grades are, by the way. This should be amusing.

Half the coaching staff is permanently assigned to His Lordship to keep him eligible!

[DeToxRox]

#9 Auburn Tigers @ #1 Oklahoma Sooners
GAME OF THE WEEK

Well, it wasn't quite the game of the week because OU ran Auburn out of the building, 40-10. Ritschel doesn't get any stats again, and plays limited time for some reason, but JC Fogle is hurt now, so maybe Ritschel will get a better shot.

[/b]Purdue Boilermakers @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish[/b]

And Notre Dame pulls a game off, 28-24. Al Mighty had an excellent game, rushing 16 times for 122 yards and 3 TD's, plus 2 receptions for 50 yards. His biggest run though was a 12 yard TD run with 35 seconds left for the win. Nice job, Al!

Toledo Rockets @ UCLA Bruins

45-7 bashing of the Rockets, and UCLA is now 2-1. Nielsen has 1 catch for 10 yards, but was pulled after the half when UCLA was up 35-0. Not even a contest.

Louisana-Lafayette @ #5 Georgia Bulldogs

77-0 rout. Travis Elkin had 2 solo tackles and an assist in the whomping. Georgia looks to be a team who'll do some damage themselves this year.

Mississsippi State is idle.

[DeToxRox]

Rob Nielsen has a sparkling 1.14 GPA. He has a C in Algebra, D in English, D - in Geology and Journalism, and a D + in Trig.

[Ragone]

Hey coffee.. you could be the next Byron Hanspard... God told me not to go to class

[Coffee Warlord]

I *am* God! Of course he told me not to go to class. I'm too busy knocking up coeds, and perfecting my end zone dances.

Edit: If I ever get back in the damn end zone! Where's a real quarterback when we need one! In fact, hell with the quarterback. I'll throw to myself.

The only classes I need are the ones involving smiling and holding up my 1st round draft pick jersey.

[DeToxRox]

Mississippi State Bulldogs @ Vanderbilt

We lose another one, 38-20, as Trippi goes 13 for 32 for 223 yards with a TD and an 2 INT. We still have faith in him though. Or else he'll die.

#10 Oregon Ducks @ #22 UCLA Bruins

Oregon was all over UCLA, spanking them to the tune of 45-22. Joel Strong, UCLA's QB only complete 7 passes. Rob Nielsen still managed to snag 3 of them for 39 yards but was held out of the endzone again. He was livid and made comparisons between Strong and Jeff Garcia. UH OH!

Notre Dame, Georgia and Oklahoma are idle.

[DeToxRox]

#9 Kansas State @ #1 Oklahoma Sooners
GAME OF THE WEEK

It was a battle, but with no time left, K State hit a FG to win 34-31. Mike Ritschel had two tackles today in what proved to be an epic. Still, Oklahoma loses early and has a shot at going for the three peat.

#3Georgia Bulldogs @ #24 LSU Tigers
TV 4

Another close one, but LSU Squeaks out with a 28-27 win in Death Valley. Travis Elkin doesn't see any action in this one either, as the game was too close to start experimenting late. Dissappointing still for the Bulldogs.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Western Michigan Broncos

Notre Dame pulls out the vicotry 31-27 to go to 2-3 for the year. Al Mighty was named MVP, his first time ever. He ran 19 times for 71 yards and also had 4 catches for 65. No TD's but he moved the ball well for the Irish in what was a huge win for them.

UCLA and Mississippi State are idle.

[DeToxRox]

Arkansas Razorbacks @ Mississippi State Bulldogs

We lose a tough one, 31-24 to the bastard Razorbacks. Trippi's accuracy is still a problem, as he goes 13 for 28 for 185 yards, 1 TD and 3 INT. He's still only a sophmore, but if he doesn't breakout soon, we're gonna be in for some problems down the line.

#2 Oklahoma Sooners @ Texas Tech Red Raiders
TV3

Oklahoma rebounded nicely with a 51-10 pasting of the Red Raiders. Mike Ritschel had his first QB Sack of the year, to go along with two solo tackles. Oklahoma, even with that loss, is still #2 in the country, so for now they are sitting pretty for a shot to defend their crown.

UCLA Bruins @ Arizona Wildcats

UCLA smokes the Wildcats, 41-16, and Rob Nielsen has another huge game with 3 grabs for 101 yards and 2 TD's. This kid could be the best deep threat in the country because all of his catches seem to be for huge yardage. The Bruins now move to 3-2 in the solid Pac-10.

South Carolina Gamecocks @ #17 Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia wins 42-6, but sadly Elkin doesn't seen any PT. Those whores, I ought to destroy them for that.

Temple Owels @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Irish blank Tample 34-0. Al Mighty runs the ball 14 times for 97 yards and a TD, and also adds 6 catches for 64 yards to even up the Irish at 3-3 for the year.

[DeToxRox]

#9 Washington State Cougars @ #25 UCLA Bruins
TV 4

UCLA knocks off the 5-0 Cougars 24-21 with a FG in the last minute. Rob Nielsen had only 2 grabs but for 47 yards, once again proving he is a big time player, he just needs to get more balls his way. Joel Strong can't wait until he graduates.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ Navy Midshipmen
TV4

Another close one, but once again Notre Dame wins it, this time 38-31 in OT on a game winning TD reception by Game MVP Al Mighty. Al ran 16 times for 68 yards, but also had 7 catches for 76 yards and that TD. Dual threat for sure, this kid could have a big NFL future if he keeps it up.

#13 Georgia Bulldogs @ Kentucky Wildcats

Georgia wins 50-7. Travis Elkin gets in long enough to get an assist, but sadly it's nothing to write home about.

Mississippi State and Oklahoma are idle.

[DeToxRox]

Mississippi State Bulldogs @ #10 Georgia Bulldogs
TV 5

We were lopped, 51-10. Trippi goes 10 for 18 for 151 with a TD and an INT before getting pulled before he got murdered out there.

Travis Elkin doesn't get involed in the route. I bet he's peeved.

#19 UCLA Bruins @ Oregon State Beavers
TV 5

UCLA wins another close won, this one on the road, 21-18 over the Beavers of Oregon State. Nielsen has a solid day with 5 grabs for 69 yards, but no scores. No matter, UCLA is now 5-2 and looking good.

#4 Oklahoma Sooners @ Kansas Jayhawks

OU wins 73-7. They just light teams up. Ritschel has a solo tackle and a half of a sack in the win. I cannot see OU losing twice.

Notre Dame is idle.

[Travis]

Gah! A little playing time fella's, let me start showing you what these hands of gold can do! I'm itching for a runback.

[DeToxRox]

#13 LSU Tigers @ Mississippi State
TV 5

41-10 thumpage. Trippi goes 17/34 for 244 with 1 TD and 4 INT. We suck. Bad. HARDCORE.

#4 Oklahoma Sooners @ Texas A&M Aggies
TV 4

Oklahoma wins 59-31, Ritschel doesn't play. A good game early, but OU is too much for the AGgies down the stretch.

Vanderbilt @#9 Georgia Bulldogs
TV 4

Georgia only wins 31-10. Surprising. Travis Elkin, much like Ritschel, doesn't see any PT today. This will again all change next year.

Arizona State @#19 UCLA Bruins
TV 5

UCLA wins ANOTHER close one, this time 20-17. Rob Nielsen has 2 catches for 31 yards, and ends up being leading reciever, as Strong only completes 9 passes for 97 yards. This will not do for Rob. NOT AT ALL!

Notre Dame Fighting Irish @ BYU Cougars

Another close game for the Irish, as they pull off a 27-24 win on the road, for their fourth straight victory, highlighted by a GW FG with 0:00 left. Al Mighty is once again game MVP, this time rushing 27 times for 123 yards and a TD, as well as having 5 catches for 58 yards. Another damn solid week.

[DeToxRox]

#1 Florida Gators @ Mississippi Bulldogs

We lose 49-14, and we lose Trippi to back surgery for 27 weeks. His year is done. I hate Florida.

#7 Georgia Bulldogs @ Alabama Crimson Tide
TV 4

UGA wins 24-14. Travis Elkin gets a solo tackle. A win/win!

#20 Illinois Fighting Illini @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish

The Illini end the Irishes winning streak with a 34-23 win. Al Mighty has a decent game, running 15 times for 60 yards, along with 3 catches for 37 more. Still, Notre Dame is now 5-4, and needs one more W for sure to be bowl eligible.

Iowa State Cyclones @#3 Oklahoma Sooners

OU wins 65-0. Ritschel has another solo tackle and a half a sack in the victory. In the time he does get in, he makes a mark, thats for sure.

#16 UCLA Bruins @ Cal Bears

Another close one, UCLA wins 17-9. Nielsen has 3 more catches for 40 yards, but once again doesn't score. UCLA needs a new QB. He's awful. BOO!

[General Mike]

hey Danny you spelt my name wrong, there is a T between the I and the S.

*does sack dance*

[Ragone]

when a Nd win over Western Michigan is considered huge.. you know the transformation to crappy independant school is complete

[DeToxRox]

#6 Georgia Bulldogs @ #13 Tennessee Volunteers
TV 2

Georgia wins 21-17 with a TD pass with 4 minutes left to improve to 8-1. Travis Elkin once again doesn't get any stats, but the Bulldogs are on the fast track to the SEC Title Game if they can beat Florida.

#15 UCLA Bruins @ #17 Washington Huskies
TV 3

UCLA gets thrashed, 48-7. Their D which had been stellar all year didn't show up and they paid for it. Neilsen is held to one catch for 8 yards. Joel Strong goes 4 for 17 for 26 yards.

Baylor @#3 Oklahoma Sooners

OU wins 51-3. Mike Ritschel has one tackle and one sack on the day. He's going to be a pass rush monster when he starts getting full games in. Oklahoma cannot be stopped. Here's hoping they leapfrog into #2.

Notre Dame is idle.

[DeToxRox]

#3 Oklahoma Sooners vs #2 Texas Longhorns
GAME OF THE WEEK
RED RIVER SHOOTOUT

Oh wow. Texas LIT up Oklahoma to the tune of 30-7. Mike Ritschel sees some time in his first RRS and records a sack, but UT gets the win and now moves to with the Big 12 title game with a shot to play for the NC.

#1 Florida Gators @ #5 Georgia Bulldogs
TV 2

Florida gets a TD with 39 seconds left to upend Georgia 31-24 and make their way to the SEC Title Game. Florida vs Texas is looking to be your NC unless one of them stumble badly in their title games. Travis Elkin once again is held off of the stat sheet.

UConn @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Some how .. Some way .. Notre Dame finds a way to blow it in the fourth and lose to UConn (who was 2-8) 28-27. Al Mighty had another fine day, rushing for 124 yards on 23 carries, and 3 catches for 28 yards and a TD. Never the less, Notre Dame must beat BC next week to even dream of a bowl game.

[Coffee Warlord]

Get me a real damn quarterback! I want the damn ball!

Switch our offense to Run and Shoot IMMEDIATLY!

[DeToxRox]

Oklahoma State Cowboys @ #4 Oklahoma
TV 3

Oklahoma bounces back with a 57-20 drumming of in-state rival Oklahoma State. Mike Ritschel has two solo tackles and a half a sack against those bastard Cowboys.

#8 USC Trojans @ #22 UCLA Bruins
TV 3

USC smokes UCLA 41-17. Rob Nielsen has 3 catches for 45 yards in the loss. Without him scoring, UCLA is nothing. Mark that down. NOTHING.

Boston College Screaming Eagles @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish
TV 4

Notre Dame rolls over and gets smashed at home 35-10. Al Mighty rushes 16 times for 42 yards vs a potent BC D. ND had no business even scoring in this game. They're pathetic.

Gorgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ #10 Georgia Bulldogs
TV 5

UGA wins 31-23. Elkin doesn't do diddily. Next year will be more fun for him, that I do know.

[DeToxRox]

#21 Iowa Hawkeyes vs #7 Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia wins 42-7. Elkin again doesn't get involved.

Maryland Terripans @ UCLA Bruins

UCLA loses 21-17. Rob Nielsen has 3 catches for 25 yards.

[DeToxRox]

#3 Michigan Wolverines vs #4 Oklahoma Sooners
TV 2

OU Wins a classic, 36-34. Mike Ritschel doesn't have any stats for the game however. Still, OU finishes it out nice.
