    The story of this game, failure to catch! Both teams ended with 9 dropped passes, and damn near every single drive seemed to be killed because of a dropped pass.

    Ohio State made their name on the ground, rushing for 251 yards to South Carolina's 32 yards. Meanwhile the Gamecocks dominated the air, passing for 288 yards to the Buckeyes 194 yards. Ohio State had 445 yards of total offense, South Carolina had 320. Ohio State had the only turnover of the game with an early fumble. South Carolina won time of possession 21:22 to 18:38.

    The Buckeyes were 4-17 (23%) on third down, South Carolina was 6-20 (30%), while Ohio State went 0-3 on fourth down attempts.

    Holy punt wars. Ohio State would end up punting 9 times for a 41.7 yard average, while South Carolina would punt 12 times for a 45.0 yard average. Talk about the punters getting a workout today!

    Player of the game for Ohio State was quarterback Jordan Watkins, ending 24-45 for 194 yards, 24 carries for 116 yards and being responsible for both of Ohio State's touchdowns.

    Top player for South Carolina was quarterback Jared Stevens, going 28-48 for 288 yards.

    Love your posts buddy. That being said, maybe stream on twitch and upload to YouTube to save yourself some time. You are going to burn yourself out with these amazing write-ups.

    I would love to, but I can't. I don't have anything that I can use to stream with my 360. When I first got my Xbox One, I tried to hook up my 360 using the pass through, but it won't let me stream on Twitch because either Twitch or the One automatically assumes I am passing through my TV feed, not my 360 feed and so it blocks me from being able to broadcast while using the pass through feed. So short of going out and spending a couple hundred bucks on an Elgato or whatever other devices there are out there, I'm left with no other option but typing.

    Maybe if they ever add NCAA 14 as a backwards compatible game on the One, I would probably be able to go the Twitch route then, but for now, I'm stuck.

    And so there you go. The domination continues. Ohio State is your 2023 national champion, winning their fourth straight national title and their 56th game in a row, while the ACC shows dominance of their own and goes a perfect 7-0 in bowl games to win the 2023 Bowl Challenge Cup.

    On the other side of the coin, the SEC faceplants in epic proportions as they lifelessly float to a 2-8 finish in an extremely forgettable bowl season to claim the "we suck" conference title of 2023.

    For readers teams, Texas State topples Southern Miss 31-20 in the New Orleans Bowl, Marshall defeats #22 Navy 35-23 in the Armed Forces Bowl, Utah State embarrasses California 73-33 in the Las Vegas Bowl, Arkansas State slips past #19 Ohio 28-23 in the GoDaddy.com Bowl, #12 Auburn manhandles Purdue 41-7 in the Outback Bowl, #21 Clemson routs routs #8 Louisiana Lafayette 52-30 in the Orange Bowl, #6 UCLA tops #3 Fresno State 21-10 in the Sugar Bowl, #4 West Virginia escapes #7 Cincinnati 48-42 in the Fiesta Bowl and and #2 Ohio State claims the National Championship for a fourth straight season, topping #1 South Carolina 14-13 in the national title game.

    The American wrapped up their season going 3-3 in bowls, but with past success in the previous couple seasons, the American officially off the watch list and will retain the automatic bid indefinitely. A second place finish in the Bowl Challenge Cup with a 3-1 finish by the Mountain West, following last years 5-1 mark, means their BCS bowl bid is now considered officially safe unless they end up on watch status again due to poor records in future seasons.

    The ACC is definitely safe after a perfect 7-0 record. The Pac-12 is still considered safe for the time being, but a closer eye will be kept as they suffer their second straight sub-.500 year. The Big Ten is officially safe thanks to their 6-3 record this year, breaking a streak of three straight years with .500 or worse records.

    The SEC on the other hand, yikes. They're still safe since they had an above-.500 record last year, but going a pathetic 2-8 will definitely have them being watched in future seasons. If they can't turn it around in the next year or two, they might find themselves landing on watch status.

    Alright, unfortunately the final polls, the coaching carousel and the off-season summary will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

    Probably because I was unable to stay asleep for more than three or four hours max between 7am Friday and 2am Sunday, my body has been rebelling this afternoon. For the last 5 or 6 hours, my entire body has been feeling fatigued, similar to how you start to feel right before the onset of the flu. I'm not feeling that bad anymore thankfully, after eating dinner, but I'm still calling it a night very early tonight.

    Since I have to be up for work at 5am tomorrow morning, I want to be to bed by 10pm and am just going to take it easy and catch up on some recorded shows for the rest of the night. Depending on how I feel tomorrow after work, I may try to jump on later in the afternoon or evening and either finish everything up or at least try to get through coaching carousel for the night and then try and finish everything on Tuesday. It'll all depending on how I'm feeling. I'm not gonna push it because I have a crap ton of hours coming up later this week with our high school football broadcasts starting back up for another season on Thursday and Friday and I'm not trying to go through an entire football broadcast feeling like the walking dead.

    Notes of Interest



    • Multiple teams saw their entire coaching staffs shaken up, as the entire staffs are replaced at Arizona State, Colorado, East Carolina, Kansas, North Carolina, South Alabama, Texas Tech and Wyoming. UTSA would also end up seeing a coaching change from top to bottom, after their head coach left for Arizona State, their defensive coordinator left for UCLA and their offensive coordinator took over at head coach.



    • Other teams experiencing multiple changes were Buffalo (HC/OC), Houston (HC/OC), Illinois (HC/DC), MTSU (OC/DC), Tulsa (HC/OC), UMass (OC/DC) and Wake Forest (HC/OC).



    • For the third straight year, Louisiana Lafayette lost their head coach. Their head coach two years ago left for the head coach position at LSU, their newly hired coach last year left to become head coach at Penn State. Then this year, their new head coach bolts after one season to take over as head coach at Notre Dame. Louisiana Lafayette will be playing under their fourth head coach in fourth seasons.



    • It's tough to be the king, as successful seasons saw Ohio State lose both of their offensive coordinators, for the third straight year, to the head coach jobs at Louisiana Lafayette and Illinois, while Louisiana Lafayette's third straight head coach jumps for a higher rung on the ladder after one season. Clemson (OC), South Carolina (OC) and West Virginia (OC) would also see coordinators take advantage of recent success and leave for head coach slots elsewhere.

    Alright, that should do it for all the preseason stuff. Looking over my schedule, this may very well be my toughest schedule yet this entire dynasty.

    Running down the list of games and the expectations, based on the preseason rankings as well as team ratings:

    Utah - Toss-up leaning towards a loss
    vs Michigan (neutral field) - Guaranteed loss
    at Notre Dame - Guaranteed loss (they sucked last year but I can't compete with 99 overall, 97 offense and 99 defense)
    BYU - Toss-up
    at San Diego State - Toss-up leaning towards a loss
    San Jose State - Likely Win
    at New Mexico - Likely Win
    Colorado State - Damn well better Win
    at Boise State - Toss-up leaning toward a loss
    Air Force - Toss-up leaning toward a win (depends on how we defend the triple option)
    at UNLV - Damn well better Win
    Wyoming - Damn well better Win

    Based on those expectation and predictions, I'm looking at 5 games I should expect to win without any problems, due in part to just how bad the 5 teams are. That number moves up to 6 if I include the toss-up leaning towards a win against Air Force. There are really technically only two games I should expect to lose, that being the neutral site game against Michigan and the road trip to Notre Dame, where I'll be lucky if I don't give up a combined 100+ points between those two. However, there are also three games that are a toss-up, leaning towards a loss. And then there is one game, the BYU game, that is a true toss-up that could go either way.

    So logically, I'm looking at a potential record somewhere between 10-2 and 5-7 this season. Utah, as usual, has more skill and talent than us, and being a rival, it's a battle from start to finish regardless of the skill levels. Michigan and Notre Dame, I'll just be happy if I can keep them under 50. I don't have a chance in hell against those overpowered rosters. BYU could go either way, partly due to the rivalry aspect, but also due to the Cougars being essentially equal in talent, and in fact slightly better offensively. San Diego State, despite a sub-.500 win season, are actually better talented and are stronger across the board overall, on offense and on defense and will be a definite problem. San Jose State is a worse rated team, but they aren't that far behind Utah State, it is nowhere out of the realm of possibility that they could taste victory against us.

    After their big breakout perfect regular season two years ago, New Mexico is quickly fallen off the ladder and faceplanted. They can still be a dangerous team, but we should have the talent to take care of business. Colorado State is probably the closest thing to a guaranteed win, they are just plain that terribly bad. Boise State is much improved this year, and with it being at Boise State, they will have the natural advantage. Air Force and that triple option will always be a toss-up, but our ratings advantage gives us the edge as they enter this season as bit weaker of a team. UNLV should be another cakewalk, as should Wyoming, both of them battling Colorado State for last place in the conference. However, with the rivalry with Wyoming, who knows. They seem to get themselves up for that last game against us no matter how poorly their season has gone, and have already tasted upset victory against us at least once in the last 4 seasons.


    Unfortunately, we end up with technically only 5 home games for the second straight season. While we are considered the home team against Michigan, due to it being a neutral site game played at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium, we essentially still only have 5 true home games, though our road schedule at least thankfully returns to a normal 6 game docket.

    Only way I'm going back to the nightmare that is offensive coordinator and being forced to helplessly watch our crap defense screw us over every game, is if I end up getting fired and am offered nothing but OC jobs.

    I'm also sort of trying to avoid coaching any readers schools, just because I may not be able to live up to that reader's expectations.

    I also still haven't made up my mind if I am going to amend my coaching rules. I have given it some thought after recent comments by both you and souljahbill, but I've done nothing more than just toss the idea around in my mind. Otherwise, for the time being, I am still restricted to playing out my coaching contracts in full (or being fired) before I can move on to another school.

    Regardless, even if I did change my rules, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon! I have some fun non-conference games coming up in future seasons, and I WANT that Mountain West Conference championship damnit! I haven't won a conference title since the 2016 season with Tulsa. I WILL win one at Utah State damnit!

    Another reason I am sticking with Utah State for the next two seasons at least, I may have a VERY fun roster to play with in 2-3 seasons time. Doing my preseason recruiting, I had a 5* recruit and multiple 4* recruits that all had Utah State among their top 3 schools right from the very get go out of the gate. If I can somehow pull what could possibly be my greatest ever recruiting class out of my ass this season, there ain't a damn thing that is going to keep me from staying at Utah State to spend my time with those recruits on the field!
