Indiana’s QB Kurtis Rourke puts himself in the Heisman running going 27-31 for 304 2TD’s and 1int.

Quick feel, felt like Offsides needs bumped and PI bumped way up. I usually have mine around 95 and I’m lucky to see 1 a game but the occasion you do see it it makes sense.

Indiana wins 31-21 over FIU. Overall the game felt good just may need to tweak the penalty sliders for a better feel. Hopefully the AI QB accuracy levels out a little but that was rough trying to get a 3rd down stop.

Texas State (1-0) overcomes a sluggish start and overpowers FCS Midwest 38-17.

The Bobcats fell behind early at 7-0 and 10-7 before outscoring the Coyotes 14-0 in the second quarter and never looked back.

Leading the way were RBs Ismail Mahdi (23-137-2 TD) and Deion Hankins (9-42-1 TD). QB Jordan McCloud shook off the effects of a massive hit on an option pitch that went for a TD by going 14 of 22 for 104 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.

Defensive Player of the Game: DT Terry Webb - 8 tackles, 6 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 FF.


Got into a couple cycles of holding being called on successive plays, but overall I felt it played pretty well. I wish the CPU would run north-south more, but I think that's an EA issue, not a slider issue.

Nice games! I plan to play mine tomorrow. I noticed in my playthrough earlier, I had 3 TD’s called back due to holding and all 5 of my penalties were holding. I’ll post on here once my game is complete and include the video as well.

Excited to kick it off and nice to see some cool stat lines from you guys!

It's sounding like we'll need to drop Holding down to 55 on the advance. :(

My lord. A tale of two games. FCS Southeast had me down 24-0 before I rattled off 35 unanswered to win 35-24, even had a 60 yard punt return for a TD...

Posted in the other thread.

Was in the 3rd up and the power went out. Had 10 holding calls.

Do you want me to play again or sim it?

It's your call, but I can force a sim win for you if you'd like.

I’m good with forced Dub for Tex, his call just wanted to share my two cents. Haha

[texacotea]

If it’s waiting on me. Force it
If it’s not by tomorrow I’ll play it

Well, I think I just played the worst game I’ve played since the game released.

Houston’s defense dominates with a 44-15 win forcing UNLV QB to throw 7 interceptions and fumble the ball. The Houston defense forced 3 picks in the red zone and had a pick 6. CB #20 for Houston had 4 interceptions. One pick came off of a dropped pass. Houston also scored 2 defensive TD’s.

UNLV will be making QB changes next week against FCS Midwest to try to overcome the abysmal performance.

I’m going to go cry now. Lol.

Edit: I had 4 penalties— 2 holding, 1 facemask, and 1 illegal forward pass. The holding calls seem to come on big plays. Both of mine were on 25+ yard plays, but that also seems pretty realistic. Those calls usually happen on big plays.

Your South Florida Bulls showed out in glorious fashion today as they dominated the FCS Southeast Pandas 44-10. The Pandas were exhausted as this was their 3rd game this week, with many more to come before the week is through.

For the Bulls, this was their debut under their new head coach and they had something to prove. On offense, their 596 yards of total offense attempted to be balanced but the 364 yards through the air on 15 completions was the clear highlight of the day. Redshirt Freshman WR Jeyquan Smith was the star of the show, catching 7 passes for 181 yards and two scores; the bulk of those coming on deep-completion touchdowns of 50 & 62 yards. QB Byrum Brown completed 15 of his 20 attempts for 364 yards, with 3 TDs and a lone interception. In the running game, the bulk of the carries went to K'Wan Powell with 24 for 134 yards and a score. To compliment him was the 5th year senior, Kelly Joiner with 12 carries for 66 yards and a score.

Defensively, the standout was DE Jason Vaughn with 4 tackles, 3 TFL, & 2.5 sacks. The Bulls limited the hapless Pandas to 309 yards with only 41 yards on the ground. They were also limited to 1 of 8 third-down conversions (and 1 failed fourth-down) which hampered them all game long.

Next on the slate for the Bulls is a presumed body-bag game as they travel to #6 Alabama. Can the bulls upset the opening season for new Alabama head coach Scott Green following the retirement of Sick Naban?

The last remaining game is tex, but snoop also shows as Not Ready.

Seems Kevin Connors noticed your first half struggles, JB.

:D At least they programmed Kevin correctly there. I hear a lot of updates (namely at halftime) where he calls a game the opposite of what it really is - blowout is a close game and vice versa.
