It's funny... both of these are ATHs although both would have almost certainly played the position it assigned them (or in Hampton's case somewhere on OL).

Ohio State rolls Illinois 35-10. Eddie George went into the contest hoping to match his school record 314 yards (set vs Illinois in 1995). Unfortunately, he left the game early in the 1st quarter and did not return until halftime. George still managed 116 yards, and Pepe Pearson added an additional 102 in the victory.

Mike Vrabel finally showed up, getting at least 3 sacks and causing 2 fumbles.

One final note, because of the way Iron Dragon setup Illinois' roster, when I injured the starting QB, he was replaced by WR Eddie McGee. This is probably right, but on the next play the CPU ran a 5 WR set. At the playbook screen, it indicated they were running 6 WRs.

VT advances past the Wolf Pack 41-3

The run game was not working too well in the early stages of the game, so QB Taylor put the team on his back the entire game. He made a few mistakes in throwing interceptions but those can be attributed to a few factors needless to say. Taylor would throw a 59-yd strike to Boykin who would score, but it would be called back due to holding. The next play Williams would pick up 18 yards on a pass but that would be called back due to holding, the very next play Taylor would throw for the 1st down (2nd and 30) but that would be called back due to holding so we now had a 2nd and 40. A few plays later the interception would be thrown lol.

The defense played lights out all game limiting what NC State could do in the air and pounding QB Wilson for most of the game.

The Hokies look to host CMU next week in Blacksburg.

I can't wait to kickoff against Southern Cal in about a hour....definitely expect a bigger challenge than Nebraska gave me....especially since it's in LA

lol, i wish i could watch Texas@USC, 3rd person viewing needs to come to ODs, would be awesome. Even if it was time delayed by a minute or so, that is the type of stuff they could incorporate to make the game pay for play (obviously we would want dedicated game/od servers etc... and some other additions) i can dream of the future though :)

also i want to get to week 8, week 7 is my big visit weekend :/

JeffHCross
07-30-2010, 07:01 PM
3rd person viewing would be such a baddddddddddddddddddddddd idea. Unless they actually used a server based MP model, which we'd probably never see anyway.

07-30-2010, 07:03 PM
LOL, I'm just hoping PSU doesn't overlook them like they have these past 10 years. Wait can I even say overlook really?

I'll give some information Oneback, maybe I can knock Stanzi out for awhile.

3rd person viewing would be really cool.

Oneback Iowa was interesting since my starting QB Newsome got knocked out for the game. I was very nervous, but my former Walk On QB did a great job and playing small ball and keeping drives alive.

They were very balanced though I was thinking for sure I was going to lose the ball game when they took the lead in the 4th. It was a heck of a game.

Yeah, I saw the score this morning and got a little worried. I am also worried about MSU now as well.

Yeah... they definitely gave me more of a challenge than I expected. My running game was hit or miss against them. I got my yards, but it was hard fought throughout.

If I don't hear anything from him by 8pm central I am going to put him on Auto-pilot.

Good idea, There are a lot of weeks i'm scared of now. Iowa was a battle, but it was very enjoyable. I've never minded to lose to the CPU (well a little).

Oregon is on AutoPilot until we hear something from 'E'. If I don't here anything I guess we will start looking for a replacement.

Oneback sounds good, I will be playing my sbcol game tonight then pending time atleast getting my recruiting done tonight. Also don't forget that I have a person of interest for a replacement if you don't have anyone else in mind.

For some reason Rushing Yards don't show on the Team Stats on the Dynasty Wire ... but Kingpin gave up a nice 292 yards on 54 attempts. I'd say our CPU running game is just fine.

JeffHCross

No sign of Escobar tonight ... sigh, this is only downside to ODs. Just watch ... when everyone else is ready to go is when I'll be getting busy again.

Yeah that is definitely true. LaMichael James run all over me, but that was also because they ran a Flexbone offense. I think the tackling should go up 1 as I missed a lot of tackles with my best player on defense.

USC (basically) against Arkansas. Despite having a drastic talent advantage, I couldn't run worth crap. Ended up getting the 300+ yards passing with the Option trophy, because I couldn't move the ball effectively otherwise.

It's very weird, I ran the Flexbone a lot last year but couldn't find the holes today.

I played with the Flexbone offense in an offline dynasty last year, and had moderate success with it. I've yet to run it in a game this year, but after seeing it being used like that, it's amazing not many other people use it.

I've yet to run it in a game this year, but after seeing it being used like that, it's amazing not many other people use it.It's horribly difficult to recruit for, for one thing. You almost have to luck into it. And once you go down that route, you absolutely have to commit to it as your primary offense. A FB that is the B-Back in a Flexbone is rarely useful as a regular fullback, especially in pass protection. The Air Force playbook is good that it allows you to run multiple different kinds of offenses, so it's not quite as much of a commitment, but that is one reason, I think, why more people don't use it.

Plus, as I found out last year, a lot of people don't actually understand the Flexbone. It seems like if you didn't run an option offense in high school (as my team did), then you haven't been exposed to it enough to actually understand it.

What I was commenting on was that Murphy's Law, or some variation of it (Kiniry's Law?) dictates that since right now I have nothing better to do but we're waiting on you guys, at some point in the future you're all going to be waiting on me because I'll get heinously busy.
