Wow. Heck of a defensive performance!
Ah, what the crap? I played my game this weekend, but it locked up after I exited out of the game. I was hoping it still took. I really don't want to play that game again. Mizzou spanked me pretty bad, picking Pachall off 4 times in the first quarter. I benched him for my junior QB, who then went down for 4 weeks, leaving me playing a redshirt freshman who actually did better than both of them, but still threw two picks in the last three minutes of the game.
Up to you if you want to sim it. I can try to play it again tonight, but that may not go over well with the Mrs.
Thanks, Kush. Apologies to everyone for holding things up.
CLARENCE MILLER SIGNS WITH BOSTON COLLEGE?!?!?!?!
OK, I know this is a 1-star FB, but the guy soft committed to RU, had Rutgers #1 the entire recruiting process, and was coming for a visit this week, why would he sign with BC? Oh well, nice job snatching him from me Willhouse.
Sorry to hear that Kush. Maybe you can find a 2 or 3 star ATH and move him into the FB roll.
I would like to thank Kush for the valentine's day gift of that FB. Now on to other things. BC beats NCSU 42-35. The game started off bad with my QB throwing a pick and the wolfpack scoring on their first drive. I was able to tie it up and right before halftime be up 21-13. NCSU was able to tie it up before half time. My defense did get a nice goal line stand but could not seem to stop the big pass play and one big running play. My QB threw 2 picks but did throw 3 TD to make up for it. Running wise my team did ok only able to really brake one big run but was able to at least keep the ball rolling. After NCSU brought the game within 7 by making it 42-35 they actually recovered the onside kick which one of my players kicked right to them for some reason. My defense made a stand got a turnover on downs with a big sack and I was able to run out the clock to advance to 6-0 and 5-0 in conference play. Hopefully witha couple of upsets I can move up to 1st in the rankings.
ND picks up only its second commitment of the year. But this one is nice: David Graham, 5* CB.
So, one 5* CB, one 4* DE. The rest of my haul will be good, but not spectacular. I won't get LB help this year, but the secondary will be in good shape with two 4* CBs and a 4* safety from last year, plus 5 and 4* CBs and a 4* SS from this year (hopefully).
The rest of my schedule is interesting. I have three (hopefully) easy games (Ilinois, Pitt, BYU) followed by three very tough games (TCU, USC, Boston College). Should be fun.
You can take TCU off that list of tough games. My defense is completely useless this season.

would have been nice if they quit when you played Marshall in the Championship last year, lol.

Well, you play Minnesota this week. I found that's a cure for most woes.
I think your ND team is my last human v human game this season at least regular season wise. I really hope my offense comes back by then because right now I'm a little afraid of how it might go down.
ND beats Illinois, 31-17. It wasn't a resounding win by any stretch. I got greedy twice and silly once, which led to a 3 INT day for my QB (one returned for a TD). My passing game has had a rough go of it the last few games.
I have to say, it feels like the penalties are too high somehow. Any punt or kickoff return that went for more than 10 yards resulted in a flag (holding or clipping). The stats aren't correct as reported. They say 4 penalties, but that is about the number for normal play, not kickoff or punt returns. I had at least 4 penalties on returns. My opponent? None.

Eh, you got bad luck is all. I think my top two corners graduated last season.
Tennessee goes into Chapel Hill and wins 21-14. Carolina had the ball 4th and 5 at my 6 with under a minute to go but the QB was sacked to seal the win.
Bring on Alabama!
Last again? I'll have to get it in tomorrow night.

C'mon Hoppa. Bama is waiting to get beat by Tennessee!
Game played
First I would like to congratulate everyone on the season so far...most of us are in the top 25. I dont feel quite so bad losing to BC who is now ranked 2nd in the nation.
ND is 4th
Mich is 6th
UGA is 13th
Tenn is 19th
WVU is 25th.
Not bad all things considered.
Back to the game. To start things off, SU jumped out to an early 10-0 lead but back to back long TD passes from Smith to Nehlan/McCartney put WVU up 14-10. SU responds with another ten points to put it 20-14 at the half. WVU comes out and scores on the first drive of the third followed by another SU td. 26-21 SU leads at the start of the 4th. The Mountaineers again drive down the field for a td/2pt conv for the lead. SU kicks a long FG and its now tied 29-29. The next drive Smith throws on 3rd and long for an INT. Strangely, Nassib returns the favor the very next play and with that, the rout started. WVU scored 3 unanswered TDs for a 50-29 victory over the Orange. Whew.
Also...Kush. That ****WR we were after just committed to WVU after this win. In case you cared.
Zell, how do I put this: The University of Rutgers and I would like you to go f*ck yourself (JK)
Hahahaha! Nice.
ND grabs a 5* ATH (WR or CB), and 4* QB in one week!
Not that you could see that at the website -- the recruiting pages are borked for me.
