***** ADVANCES

•Advances will be set for every 3 days as long as the league is small. Play the games you feel like playing

•You can sim any game you want (NO SUPER SIMMING), if the advance day comes up and really havent had time to play but want to I will extend the deadline.

WEEK 1

***** GAME OF THE WEEK *****
#4 Miami @ #3 Texas

Miami and Texas have been 2 of the premiere programs in college football over the past decade. Both teams have won a ring in that time period and have been 1 game away from a ring numerous times. This matchup will feature 2 of the biggest names in football in Jeff Dawson and Jermaine Yates, the 2 starting QBs who came in at the same time and both started all 4 years. They were expected to face off in the championship at least once but although that has not happened yet they still have one last chance even after this game. Texas is the favorite in this one because if you compare the teams side by side the defenses stack up pretty evenly with 2 very strong defenses on all 3 levels but on offense thats not the case. Texas is loaded in their pass game with a dominant WR core for Yates to throw to. They will need to find help in the run game but its not a concern because of how good their pass game is. Miami on the other hand has a Heisman level HB coming back in Sims but no proven go to guy at WR besides their TEs. Miami is a primarily spread team so the use of the TE is limited. In order for Miami to win they will have to force turnovers and Dawson has to make his WRs look better than they are. Sims at RB has to be the x-factor to help take the pressure off of these WRs as well or Texas is taking this one.

#4 Miami @ #3 Texas

Canes started the game looking solid on both sides of the ball forcing 3 early interceptions and moving the ball on offense. After a 14 point lead the momentum favored Miami until a missed fg by a walkon kicker gave hope to Texas. Coach Junior said after the game that there was miscommunication between him and the special teams coach as he never intended for that kicker to get in the game. Texas wouldnt respond with points yet but their offense began to slowly come together and almost scored at the half but ran out of time as the Canes stuffed them at the 1 which was huge.

Second half Texas would score in the first minute making it 14-7 Miami. The Canes Offense struggled but their defense forced another interception with good field position. Canes would get stuffed on 3rd and 1 but went for it on 4th and 1 and Sims busted the run outside for a 15 yd td to make it 21-7. Texas put it all together on offense after that and shifted the momentum completely after a long drive cut it to 7 and Miami could not muster up any offense. Down 21-14 Texas took a 70 yard drive down the field led by Yates and they scored with 0:31 to send the game to OT.

Miami struck first as Dawson hit his most reliable scoring threat TE Dingle for a td on 3rd and long. Texas still hot answered with ease as they had found their running game in the 4th. Game tied at 28 it was back to Texas who was still hot but Yates through a 5th interception to Miami SS Allen who didnt start the game but was subbed in late in the game which ended up saving Miami who win on a fg after the turnover. 31-28 Miami

Canes lack of playmakers was evident today but they what the pregame write up said they needed to do: force turnovers and Dawson had to help his WRs.

Yeah GG Junior. If I could limit my dumbas* self to only 2 int in user games, i'd be golden lol. It was a fun game tho, frustrating too. My slow 77 overall Rb did better then I expected.
