Beginner Dynasty

[nredfoot]

Ok so I have been a long time lurker and have finally decided to join OS and do my own dynasty thread. I have loved over the past few years reading through some ya'll dynasties and see how creative ya'll get. My goal is to make this thing go at least 3 or 4 series. I won't be getting 2012 NCAA for awhile plus I need to prove to myself I can stick to a dynasty for awhile. So without further rambling time to start my own adventure......

Team: New Mexico Lobos
Difficulty: All-American
Roster: LuvToDa90s
Sliders: kkman187 (edited some for myself)
Quarter Length: 8 minutes

I'm going to start with New Mexico and stay with em until I win a natty. Then I might later take a job somewhere else if I want too. Also I'm not changing up any of the conferences although I did debate moving Boise to MWC. I am also using chia51s sliders for adjusting other schools gameplans so they sim better and when playing they call more like you expect them too

In an announcement today New Mexico AD Paul Krebs officially announced that Mike Locksley was out as head coach of the Lobos. This comes as no surprise as he compiled a record of 2-22 in his two years a t the helm. What was a surprise was who was announced as his replacement. Nick Redfoot a young Texas high school coach was given the nod. In an official statement Krebs said:

We are very excited about Coach Redfoot. He brings some much needed youth and energy to the program. We believe with Nick Redfoot at the helm the Lobos will be able to finally take that much needed step forward in becoming a national program and compete for conference titles.

Nick Redfoot coached 7 years of high school football. In those 7 years he won 5 state titles, a very impressive feat. However this is FBS college football and some question whether he can handle this level. Also if he can do anything with a program that has only won 2 games the past 2 years. In a brief statement Coach Redfoot said:

Football is my life and passion. I understand all that comes with taking the responsibility as head coach of a collegiate program. There has been a loser mentality around this football program the past few years and that changes now. Just like losing, winning is a culture. We all must change our attitudes if we want to be successful. I promise you if you give me your patience, support, and loyalty I will give this program championships.

Coach Redfoot brings his two high school coordinators Jay Woodson and Mike Slaten with him. He runs a one back set very similar to Mike Riley's Oregon State offense (aka I'm using Oregon State's playbook) and implements a 4-3 defense. Coach Redfoot announced that their would be a focus on the running game and getting pressure on the QB. There is no doubt a long road ahead of the young coach but some wonder if this young football mind might just be exactly what the New Mexico football program needed.

**2010 Season Preview**
In later season when there are more unknowns I will do a bigger preseason breakdown but seeing as most everyone who plays the game knows what the initial rankings look like and whose the leading heisman candidates I'll just give a brief look at my depth chart, schedule, and recruiting

QB - #8 Tarean Austin FR 74 Ovr
HB - #1 Demond Dennis So 72 Ovr
FB - #32 Josh Fussell SR(RS) 64 Ovr
WR - #81 Lamaar Thomas So 80 Ovr
WR - #84 Ty Kirk So(RS) 76 Ovr
Slot - #7 Bryant Williams Sr(RS) 73 Ovr
TE - #97 Lucas Reed So(RS) 66 Ovr
LT - #74 Byron Bell Jr(RS) 71 Ovr
LG - #76 Zayn Bin Bilal Sr(RS) 71 Ovr
C - #63 Dillon Farrell Fr(RS) 73 Ovr
RG - #56 Mike Cannon Sr(RS) 72 Ovr
RT - #77 Maurice Mears Sr(RS) 71 Ovr

As you can see a very young offense besides the offensive line. I chose to start Austin over BR Holbrook who is a 75 Ovr and a redshirt sophomore because Austin has more mobility. Its nice to have a guy that can escape pressure especially when your whole offensive line is basically ranked a 71. Will be relying Dennis for most of the offense on the ground maybe mix in the junior James Wright as well as he's a 70. Some great young talent at WR I'm excited about.

LE - #88 Johnathan Rainey Jr(RS) 82 Ovr
RE - #48 Jaymar Latchison Jr(RS) 69 Ovr
DT - #93 Pete Gardner Sr 74 Ovr
DT - #49 Ugo Uzodinma So(RS) 73 Ovr
LOLB - #51 Cody Neely Sr 71 Ovr
MLB - #58 Carmen Messina Jr(RS) 90 Ovr
ROLB - #46 Spencer Merritt So(RS) 71 Ovr
CB - #6 Anthony Hooks Jr 70 Ovr
CB - #29 Deshawn Mills So(RS) 71 Ovr
Nickel - #2 Emmanuel McPhearson So 69 Ovr
Dime - #5 Ravonne Carter Fr 68 Ovr
FS - #17 Freddy Young So(RS) 70 Ovr
SS - #28 Bubba Forrest Jr(RS) 69 Ovr

Defense is also pretty young with the bright spot being Messina. He's going to have to be a tackle machine. Also absolutely no depth at CB. I have 4 on roster and the freshman playing at dime is actually a FS. Not sure how good of a D we'll be this year but should be interesting

Oregon Pulls Out Close One in Eugene

Eugene, OR -- Coming into Saturday’s afternoon contest there wasn’t much hope for Coach Redfoot’s Lobos. Bringing in a true freshman starting QB along with a very green head coach into one of the most hostile environments in college football didn’t bode well for New Mexico. However the Ducks were in for a much bigger fight than expected. > >
The first half tone was set by defense. New Mexico only allowed the Ducks three measly points including stopping the high powered offense three straight times inside the 7. On the offensive side of the ball New Mexico moved the ball but struggled to find the endzone, something that would plague the Lobo offense all game. Starting running back Demond Dennis suffered a hamstring injury on first play of the game knocking him out of the first half. James Wright struggled in his stead only mustering 13 yds on 7 carries in the first half. The only TD in the half would come in the 2^nd quarter. In the 1st quarter another drive would fizzle out in the redzone on a freshman mistake. The Lobos were inside the redzone and threatening to score when the first of many mistakes made by Austin occured. Instead of looking the safety Eddie Pleasant off the freshman QB stared down talented sophomore receiver Lamaar Thomas. Reading the play beautifully, Pleasant broke on the ball and jumped in front of Thomas. Two more Lobo drives fizzled out just past the 50 yard line leaving many to believe we would have a 3-0 score at half. However that would not be the case. After moving the ball quickly with a mix of runs and short passes true freshman Tarean Austin would find Chris Hernandez on a corner route for a 24 yd TD pass. This time the freshman QB pumped faked the slant route causing Pleasant to bite hard. Then he dropped it beautifully over the shoulder of the senior wide receiver giving the Lobos the lead. It was Austin’s first career TD pass. Heading into half the Lobos had a shocking 7-3 lead.
> >
Reporter: “Coach your thoughts on the first half so far?”
> >
Coach Redfoot: “Well I am very proud of the way the guys have played so far. They’ve shown that we didn’t just come here to collect a paycheck for the school and go home but are looking for a win over an elite team. Gotta keep up the intensity and see if we can pull this thing out!”
> >
Reporter: “What if any changes do you plan on making for the 2^nd half? And what will the return of Dennis do to your gameplan?”
> >
Coach Redfoot: “We gotta put the ball in the endzone. I mean we drove 3 times and got one score. That can’t happen especially against a team like the Ducks. Defense has to be ready. It was impressive that they held that offense to 3 points but you know that team is gonna be back with a vengengeance. And as for Dennis, well hopefully he’ll give us that spark for the running game.”
> >
Reporter: “Thanks for the time coach!”
> >
The third however would see a drastic change in the game. Demond Dennis returned to the game and on the very first carry of the half busted a 62 yd run. It looked like the Lobos were in shape and threatening to take an 11 point lead. However on the next carry by Dennis he would be popped by senior Zac Clark leading to a fumble and recovery by Josh Kaddu of the Ducks. Then it was the Lamichael James show. After a very mediocre 1^st half James exploded in the 2^nd half. Taking 8 carries on the 11 play scoring drive he lead the Ducks down the field. After the game James would credit Coach Kelly's heart to heart with him privately as the motivation for his 2nd half turn around. When asked what was said James smiled and just said, "I'll leave it your imagination." The drive would finish with a short 2 yd TD pass to Hoffman. Austin would take the field again with 5 min left in the 3^rd quarter. He would move the Lobos to two first downs before throwing a second INT (a theme that would develop throughout the day). Oregon wasted no time in striking back. James on an option pitch would break 3 tackles and race for a 64 yd score. It was the highlight of the day. New Mexico sent a corner blitz to the exact side Oregon ran the option to. It looked like Thomas had set up James to get demolished when the elusive sophomore running back made a slick spin move leaving the defender grasping for air. A stiff arm, sick juke, and 64 yds later the Ducks had extended their lead to 17-7.
> >
The fourth quarter would turn out to be a battle. After a late 3^rd qtr interception by Eddie Pleasant, his 2^nd of the day, Oregon would strike early in the 4^th. James would again gash the Lobo defense. Moving the ball quickly inside the 5 where Thomas would hit Maehl in the back of the endzone for a 2 yd TD pass and a 24-7 Duck lead. Right when it looked like this game was heading for a blowout the Lobos would come charging back. On just two plays New Mexico would find paydirt. Austin hit Ty Kirk on a 27 yd pass then a bomb to Lamaar Thomas for a 53 yd TD pass. A quick hesitation left Cliff Harris of the Ducks standing flat footed and his coach furious as Thomas raced in for the TD. With just under 7 minutes to play it appeared we had a ball game. The New Mexico defense would find it’s first half swagger and force a three and out. But then disaster struck again for the Lobos. After a 9 yd rush Demond Dennis would go down with a foot injury. This time there would be no return as the team doctor would later report Dennis would be out of commission for 5 weeks at the least. Then 2 plays later Austin missed a wide open Hernandez that would have be an automatic TD. Going for it on 4^th down Austin would try to escape pressure only to be sacked hard by Zac Clarke. Oregon would take over from its own 35 yd line.
> >
After a couple of first downs by James the Lobo defense would stiffen again forcing a Duck punt. Retaking the field the Lobos would attempt a quick drive however for the 4^th time of the day the true freshman would be picked off this time by Spencer Paysinger. The Ducks would kneel it twice and escape with a 24-14 win.

Wild Battle in Albuquerque Ends With Dramatic First Win for the Lobos

Albuquerque, NM -- The home opener for the Lobos and Coach Redfoot's first game at University Stadium would turn out to be a memorable one. Coming in as 10 pt underdogs after a courageous effort in Eugene, many wondered if the Lobos could compete at the same level especially with starting running back Dennis out of the game. Others were questioning if the freshman Austin had what it took to be a starting QB in the MWC. And some wondered if the Lobos could play four quarters of defense with Tommy Tuberville's Red Raiders. After tonight's game there's no doubt the answer to these questions was a resounding yes.

The way the game opened though did not bode well for the Lobo defense. After starting off last week with an impressive performance Mike Slaten's defense didn't come out of the locker room. On the first play from scrimmage Baron Batch took a draw handoff and ran into 4 Lobo defenders..... Then promptly shrugged all of them off and blasted away for an 82 opening play TD setting an NCAA record for longest rushing TD play in the NCAA history. Needless to say the Lobos needed to respond. The Lobos came out and put together a 17 play 68 yd drive that ate up 5 min of the first quarter. It appeared the New Mexico offense was going to plow its way into the endzone. But then the turnover bug from last week came back and bit em. On the 17th play of the impressive drive Wright takes the handoff and is crushed at the 8 yd line by junior Brian Duncan sending the ball flying into the hands of a Red Raider defender. Coach Redfoot was furious on the sideline as all week he had preached no turnovers.

However his defense would respond. After an incomplete pass, Jonathan Rainey would race around the Red Raider tackle and obliterate Taylor Potts on the one yard line. Unfortunately for the Lobo defense the sack did not get them a safety but it did set up a third and long play that would be snuffed out. After the punt the quarter would end with a 7-0 Red Raider lead.

The 2nd quarter would be full of big offensive plays. Another drive for the Lobos would end in a turnover as when Austin rolls out right he would be popped and throw the ball perfectly to Texas Tech linebacker Bront Bird. On the sideline Coach Redfoot gave Austin an earful as that was his 5th interception in 6 quarter. His defense though would back him up forcing a three and out. Then it was time for the freshman QB to show what he was capable of. On 3rd and 9 from his own 48 Texas Tech would bring 8 men trying to get to Austin. The freshman however would stand in the pocket and deliver a strike to a wide open Ty Kirk who would take it the rest of the way for a 52 yd score to tie the game at 7-7. After exchanging of punts and solid defensive efforts the big play Lobo offense would strike again. Sending a corner blitz the Red Raider secondary would have a breakdown or miscommunication as no one rotates over to Kirk. Austin again hits the streaking sophomore this time for 80 yds and a Lobo score! Putting New Mexico up 14-7. Before the half would end though the Red Raiders would find some 2 minute magic. Moving the ball on 6 quick passes 4 to Detron Lewis, Taylor Potts would lead the Red Raiders into the redzone. However after getting popped by Pete Gardner, Potts would have to leave the game to catch his breath. He would return in the 2nd half. Fortunately for Texas Tech Garrett Sheffield was ready to go. After an incomplete first pass Sheffield would find Alexander Torres wide open in the middle of the endzone for a Texas Tech TD. The two teams would go into half tied at 14-14.

Reporter: "Coach Redfoot thoughts on the first half?"

Coach Redfoot: "Well if we would quit shooting ourselves in the foot on offense with turnovers and incomplete passes we would be up in this game. Defense let a cheap one in there late and we can't let that happen. Gotta come out and take over this game early next half."

Reporter: "Thanks Coach!"

Unfortunately for Coach Redfoot the Lobos would again shoot themselves in the foot. After an impressive opening drive led by James Wright and some clutch conversions by Austin a bad pitch by the freshman QB would lead to their third turnover of the day. But again the Lobo defense would respond. The Lobo offense would drive again but an 8 yd sack on 1st down and a stuffed run on 2nd would lead to a third and long. For the third time of the day though, the Red Raider defense would get burned on a blitz. Attempting to bring the nickel corner on the blitz along with the safety, the Texas Tech defense would leave itself exposed the big play. And for the third time today Austin would make em pay. This time hitting Chris Hernandez for a 39 yd TD pass giving the Lobos the 21-14 lead. The rest of the quarter would be a defensive stalemate. However after much of the 3rd looked like the Lobos were in control of the game a questionable fake punt would set up the Red Raiders perfectly.

Heading into the 4th the Red Raiders had incredible field position and they would capitalize. Baron Batch would reach paydirt for the 2nd time of the day tying the game at 21-21. From there on the game was a barn burner. On the second play of the following drive Austin would hit TE Lucas Reed for a big play. But again their drive would fizzle out and force the Lobos to punt. However the Lobo defense would rise again. Carmen Messina the captain and leader of the Lobo defense would make an incredible strip of Baron Batch leading to an Emmanuel McPhearson recovery! New Mexico though would be unable to capitalize as Austin's 3rd down pass to a wide open Thomas would be batted down at the line certainly saving what would've been the go ahead TD. Then it was Texas Tech's turn to make the boneheaded play. Driving on the Lobo defense, the Red Raiders would dink and dunk on the Lobo secondary. Then Potts would drop back and find Swindell across the middle who would race to the 3 yd line before being dragged down. But hold it as Texas Tech's center Kweon would be called for clipping moving the ball back to the 24. Then it was the Pete Gardner show as as he would sack Potts back to back times forcing Texas Tech into kicking a 49 yd FG. But Matt Williams would hook it left sending it off the left upright. That would leave 1:51 left for the Lobo offense.

Austin would lead his Lobos back on the field with chance to win the game. It wouldn't take long. The young QB on first play would hit senior Bryant Williams for a big gain but then would be dropped for a 14 yd loss on a sack. He would make up for it though as for the 4th time of the day the Red Raider defense would bring pressure and get burned. Again Chris Hernandez found himself wide open this time for 63 yds and the go ahead TD! 28-21 Lobos! But still time for Potts and this offense had already showed it could produce in 2 minute drill at end of 1st half. The first play of scrimmage sophomore free safety Freddy Young would drop an easy interception. Then Pete Gardner would strike again dragging Potts down for his 3rd sack of the day. But Potts would come through on 3rd and long completing a first down pass to Leong. Then Rainey would hit Potts while passing forcing an errant throw. 2nd down Texas Tech attempts to catch New Mexico off guard with a draw but Gardner isn't fooled dragging down Batch after only a short gain. But again Potts would respond with a big pass play over the middle. Spiking the ball, Texas Tech now had 26 seconds and 40 yds to go. 2nd down is an incomplete pass. Then on 3rd and 10 Potts looks deep and launches it 40 yards into the endzone..... Where Deshawn Mills picks it off! End of game Lobos win!!!!

After the game Coach Redfoot would say, "I'm so proud of these kids. They haven't really felt what its like to win over the past few years so for us to get this is big. That team we just beat is talented so that says something with us pulling this out. We'll let the kids enjoy it then get back to it next week with them Utes coming into town." Austin would finish just a few yards shy of 400 and 4 TDs thus making up for his 3 turnovers. Meanwhile Chris Hernandez finished with player of the game honors with 5 rec 145 yds and 2 big second half TDs.
