vs Notre Dame (lose 38-14) 7 catches, 109 yards

WR Spencer Hagan - Spencer Hagan was the working man's version of a WR. Spencer never had any flashy moves or creative dances or anything. All he did was get open and he did that A LOT!!! Spencer was Cal's top WR and bailed them out of a bunch of bad situations on offense. I could always count on him to get open in a crunch. I know there were 4 or 5 games that he was literally open on every pass attempt. I had to make myself throw it to other players to keep him from getting hurt lol. Spencer's hands were never a question as he had 107 receptions. He also had an astronomical 1923 yds receiving and 7 TD's to go with that. He would have had more TD's but I tended to revert to the ground game once I got inside the redzone. As you can see, it didn't really matter whether he was up against human opponents or cpu opponents he was going to get off. He did all of this with the BACKUP QB starting most of the season. If he had an experienced passer throwing him the ball all season, who knows what he could have done.

at Ohio State (win 31-24) 26 carries, 226 yards, 2 td, 97 yard kick return TD
vs Alabama (win 49-35, NC Game) DID NOT PLAY (injured)

Brennan Clay - This guy was an absolute monster all year. He may have not put up record breaking numbers, but he led the league in rushing and carried the Oklahoma offense as it struggled at times due to 3 true freshman playing significant roles. He took the pressure off an inexperienced quarterback and ran for over 300 yards against Texas Tech. After a loss to Alabama, Joker reshaped his entire offense to revolve around Clay and he responded, carrying the ball 73 times in the next 3 user games. Teams like Florida and Alabama had other great guys on offense making plays, but if you look at the stats on the Sooners' offensive players, nobody else is remotely close to winning an award or even being named an All-American. He was at times a one-man offense and is the only reason Oklahoma was in the National Championship game to begin with.

CB Vachel Samuels - Samuels was the Sr leader on a very talented secondary. Most games Samuels was able to lock down his guy and made opposing QB's that threw to his side pay as you can see by the 16 deflections and 6 ints he had. He could lock down one side of the field and was a key reason that we only had 1 loss. In that 1 loss, he got hurt and the world could see what a Cal secondary without Samuels in it looked like. Notre dame shredded the secondary with Samuels out. Samuels was no slouch in the run game either racking up 40 tackles on the season. That's a pretty good number for a guy with ball hawking skills like this guy. When Samuels leaves after this year, we're gonna be hard pressed to find a guy on the team as talented as he was.

Tom Wort - The MVP of this National Champion winning Sooners team. At the beginning of the year, Oklahoma switched to a 3-3-5 defense because any other defense meant a player rated below 75 would be on the field. This defense saw 6 guys starting for the first time, 2 of which were true freshman. On top of that, Oklahoma lost their ROLB for the year early in the season. Tom stepped up and was an absolute beast recording a remarkable 105 tackles. He may have not been flashy, with no interceptions and only 3 sacks, but he held together an inexperienced defense that severely struggled at times. Whenever Oklahoma needed a stop, Wort made the play. He made back to back 3rd/4th and goal tackles at the 1 against the Gators which helped Oklahoma secure the win. Countless times he made the tackle to prevent a third down conversion. Have to look past the overall numbers to see how valuable he was to this defense.

vs. Texas (won 35-34) 2 tackles, 2 for loss, 1 sack, 1 fumble forced, 1 fumble recovery
vs. OSU (won 31-24) 3 tackles, 2 for loss,

William Brown - Brown really came out of nowhere and had a huge year. The sophomore had 11 sacks, 2 interceptions and a touchdown. The touchdown secured the win against Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship game. He recorded sacks in three of the four user games and had a monster game against Texas. He was a huge influence on a defensive line that surprised people and dominated all season as they switched to a 3 man front. The stats really tell the story of how well this guy played all year.

Those that wish to write a paragraph or so to hype their contenders can do so. I'll add that under their player's stats. Votes are due Monday during the offseason. I'll continue to repost this until then with updates from the coaches. Also, when I'm out of town, anyone feel free to insert their coach's hype and re-copy and paste this into a post afterward..

What the hell did Kid do? Damn this team is in shambles.

I'm gonna need all the help I can get

With a new coach and a new scheme, Virginia Tech comes out and wins the Meineke Car Care Bowl 45-14 over Memphis. In coach Blaze's first game with the team, he made it clear what is in store for Hokie Football. Using the Pistol offense that was made famous at Nevada, VT ripped off big play after big play, and it was clear Memphis could not keep up.

The offense was led by the legs of Andy Long, who ran for 204 yds on 22 carries and 3 TDs. After the game, Long commented on the new offense and how much the players have come to love it. "With the Pistol offense now, it gives us RBs a chance to run downhill, but still have a shotgun feel to it. The quicker handoffs help us get a fast start on the defense and today that showed. We made this game all about getting ready for next year, and as we go through the spring and learn the offense more, we will only become more dangerous."

It wasn't all run though for VT, as Ricardo Young has 303 yds passing and 3 TDs. 511 total yards of offense has to put teams on notice, and Coach Blaze said it's only going to get crazier.

"We want to pick up the pace from what it was today. I only had 15 days to really work with them, so I couldn't get the offense to run exactly how I wanted it to. With spring practice and fall camp though the team should get into the shape I want them to so we can keep the pressure on defenses and force them to make mistakes."

VT finishes the season 8-5, and now they go into recruiting trying to find players to jump on board with the program and return it to it's former state.

I'm gonna hold off on switching to Auburn until after Rauloe plays his bowl game against them. I have absolutely no time to play him before Monday since I'm working nights this weekend. It's best that he plays the cpu then I'll switch over after that. Hey Rauloe, why don't you let my boys win so they can be looking nice for me when I get them lol.

Hey guys I was referred here from the OS forums. Very active, very sim player. PSN is JaredLib if there is still an opening let me know.

First time on this site can you let me know what the rules are of the OD?

Nevermind I found the rules, sounds awesome, similar to my other ODs. let me know if I have a spot.

The commish is out of town for the weekend but we can get the ball rolling so when he comes back he knows where you stand. It'll ultimately be up to the commish as to whether you get in or not, but I don't think it will be a problem. You could start listing the teams that you'd like in order of most wanted so he knows who you want when he gets back. That'll get that out of the way because I assume that we will be advancing to the offseason pretty soon after he gets back.

yo urbs- i just moved out to the west coast and i gotta pick up a new tv. I got a lot on my plate right now but I plan to be back in action by tomorrow night. I'll knock my game out as soon as i can get to best buy.

Cool stop. How's everyone looking for Monday? Ill figure out who is in tonight

I should be good for tomorrow night

I'm good for tomorrow night, and I will post when I get on my second bus.

urbanslegend05 wrote:Cool stop. How's everyone looking for Monday? Ill figure out who is in tonight

I'm good for tonight.

Stop, let me know when you get your game in and I'll advance to week one of the offseason. That way people can go ahead and get that out of the way before we start tonight.

Jaredlib, get back me today on a team as soon as you can if you want to jump in the offseason tonight. We usually try to knock out as much as we can in one night and we're going to start around 10 eastern tonight if you want to join.


Childplease, let me know if you're still interested as well. Same goes for you as I'd need to know your team by tonight if you want to do the offseason.

Rivals Human Heisman award update



qb Trey Burton - 180-278 (64%) 2984 yards, 23 td, 10 int, 186 carries, 1367 yards, 23 td
vs Penn State (win 45-31) 9-16, 188 yards, td, 2 int, 14 carries, 125 yards, 2 td
at Oklahoma (lose 31-28) 12-14, 190 yards, 2 int, 8 carries, 25 yards, td (injured at half)

vs Alabama (lose 42-39, SEC Champ game) 20-30, 284 yards, td, 17 carries, 81 yards, 3 td

Put simply, Trey Burton had a mark on him entering every Gator game. Opponents knew that if they could stop Burton on offense, they could stop Florida. Even in two losses, Burton wasn't to blame. In a three-point loss to national champion Oklahoma, Burton had completed 12-of-14 passes before leaving the game with an injury. Against Alabama (national runner-up) Burton was again spectacular. He brought the Gators back from a 35-10 halftime deficit within inches of a win. He also accounted for four touchdowns in the game. What makes Burton so unstoppable is that he can beat you in two ways. He's an excellent passer, but also ranked in the top 10 in the nation rushing, and you can't say he was only able to do it against the cpu. In the three user games he finished, excluding Oklahoma since he only played a half, he averaged 103 yards and two touchdowns. When I look for a Heisman winner, I look for the player I'd least like to play against, and I think many would agree Burton is that player.

vs Alabama (lost SEC Championship 42-39) 6 tackles, 1 tackle for loss

Josh Evans has pretty good stats, but that's only half the reason he's here. What Evans did best was take away a portion of the field. His user game stats are decent, but if you go off of stats alone, there's better suited candidates. Sometimes things work out that way, but anyone that played against Florida knew not to throw at the free safety or it was trouble. Unfortunately for Florida, there wasn't two Josh Evans' roaming the defensive backfield.

Hey sorry I missed you. I haven't heard back from either of these other two guys that are wanting to join, and since I know you will play without any question, if you get back to me before them you can have one of the spots. If they get back before you though, I'd have to give it to them.


So for everyone wanting a spot now, it's a race against time.

I wanna get this shit started. I wanna see if I go up to 6 stars. The Irish need that 6th star!!

I hope I don't drop another star. Maybe by luck I move up to 4 star and not be screwed these next couple years. I can't believe Kid only had 58 people on the team.

For the sliders, I recommend taking the speed threshold down to 0, and then finding a happy middle between these sliders and my sliders. We have better teams over here than the average team in my OD so maybe even middle - leaning toward my sliders would be good.

If we implement something like the recruiting limits I have in my OD and award extra schollys for awards (like the Heisman, etc.) then we need to up the difficulty quite a bit to prevent outrageous numbers and people abusing the CPU unrealistically to get those numbers.

In general, I think lowering the speed threshold to 0 and finding a good middle between our current sliders and my sliders, along with recruiting limits, will make this OD even more awesome.

Oh, FG Accuracy need to go up for the CPU, I haven't seen the CPU make one from outside 25 yet

Ok the times I could be walking in the house are 8 (if I get lucky and get out early), 9 (if we get out at 8 which I expect), or 9:20 (if we stay til 8:30 which I doubt).

Either way I will be home before 9:30 unless the bus decides to flip over or be super packed

Got my tv. need a minute to get set up and hopefully get my game in

I will be ready at 9. Just have to wait on the 2nd bus

That's fine blaze. Gonna be starting up at around 10 either way.

I still haven't heard back from any of those interested in taking over teams (including CT) so if I don't hear anything before the offseason we'll just roll without new additions until we get to the pre-season when I set up schedules. I'd like to get the new guys before I start the season, but I won't hold us up too long to do that either. It seems we have had quite a few quys come over and look, but they have been too lazy to go through with it thus far.
