Texas v. Bama is the only User vs User game. Speaking of which, what's your schedule like this week?

Only one UvU bowl game...

#7 :Southern_Miss:?!?!?!?!?!

#7 :Southern_Miss:?!?!?!?!?!11-1 in the Sun Belt, lost to #11 LA Tech, and only played one other ranked team (ranked by the end of the year, that is).

Also, this is 2015 :D

Florida State Dominates #1 Pittsburgh, 48-3

On the first play from scrimmage, Florida State stud linebacker James Wilder forced a fumble, which was grabbed by free safety Junior Hopkins. As with so many other Florida State games this season, turnovers would become the trend of the day.

During the ensuing drive, Florida State was forced to look ahead a game too early, as Heisman winner Bryan Stephens was knocked out of the game with a sprained elbow. Doctors expect him to heal in two weeks (I guess in time for the Combine?).

Unlike when Texas lost Colt McCoy, Florida State did not flounder. Backup David Terrell, who has played throughout the season, completed two passes to score a touchdown. The transition between Stephens and Terrell was so seamless that Coach HCross did not notice his star starter had been injured until after the touchdown.

David Terrell would finish 9/11 for 108 yards on the day, adding 18 carries (not counting kneels) for 208 yards and four total TDs.

The defense also came to play, accounting for three interceptions (including two consecutive pick-sixes in the fourth quarter to create the final margin), two forced-and-recovered fumbles, and seven sacks (three each by LE Casher and OLB Smith). The Panthers were held to 104 total yards and did not convert a single 3rd down (the Seminoles only converted 3/10).

I am good after 6 or 6:30 any evening this week.

#25 :(

My feelings exactly :smh:


Gotta right this failing ship next season. The time is now :D

[psuexv]

I'll get my game in tonight. Let's get this offseason knocked out so I can suck in 2016 as well

You want to shoot for 7:30p central Wednesday night?

Also, this is 2015 :D

Next season, 0-12.

[gschwendt]

I think I suffered more injuries in my bowl game than I did all season... my starting QB went down early, my 2nd SS went down early, then after that I had players go out here & there for a few plays at a time. Thankfully it was the last game of the season because some of those guys I'm counting on next season.

That said, we dominated Louisiana Tech early & often. 10 players each had a sack while DT Ondre Pipkins recorded 4 of his own.

This chart is in honor of those graduating seniors... I say happy trails, particularly to George Atkinson and Johnathan Gray. The chart shows starting seniors that are leaving after this current year along with their stats for 2015. After that, it shows their likely replacement (solely based on OVR); the Year and OVR for Replacements are from this current year.

You missed my backup SS, PJ Williams, unless you intentionally skipped him since I run a 4-2-5 (which would be accurate). So glad I won this year ... next year could be a major rebuilding year at a few key positions.

EDIT: How'd you grab the stats? Manual or through the Wire? The download wouldn't have given you all of that.

[gschwendt]

You're correct, I intentionally skipped him since he's already on the field.

Mine looks good (average difference is lowest) and I didn't lose that many players but next year I imagine it will be very ugly for me... several key players will be out the door including at least my starting QB, C, LOLB & MLB.

[ryby6969]

The only one that could possibly be a problem for me losing is Sunseri. I think Miller has played really well in certain formations anyway so it may end up being an upgrade.

[texacotea]

Love only seeing 7 kids on there.

Southward Him leaving is a hit, he is the career leading in TD rec at tOSU but had a sub par year compared to others. But we have added weapons with Love, Parker, Malone and now incoming Fr Atkins

Vannett will be the biggest hit of them all, was a stellar receiver that wasnt used enough and blocked well.

Spence after being highly recruited and moved from DE to DT back to DE the staff really messed up with this guy and never performed up to his billing. Pittman will be replacing him and started all games last year, Spence will be replaced with SO. Blount who played in spots last year.

Hale his strength in the middle will be missed the most.

This are the biggest guys that will be missed next year and my assesment on them which could be off the wall.

[psusnoop]

Nice work G!

My hits are the biggest on the O-Line. Some prospects I picked up a few seasons ago just really aren't panning out like planned, but we've taken an aggressive approach to try and limit the hit to just this upcoming year.

Bassett is also another one that I'll miss, but it also opens the door to bring in more of a power rushing attack next season at Oregon. With a solid QB taken over I'm more then comfortable changing some formations to utilize my bigger stronger backs next season.

My defense should be stout this upcoming season, I can't wait to see the training results :)

[Oneback]

While Gray will be missed and I kick myself for not red shirting him early on when I wasn't using him however I believe Joe Smith will perform well next season - he averaged 7.9 ypc in a backup roll and my young offensive line will have had another season to grow. McFarland hurts due to his ability to dominate the middle of the field, I have a true freshman who isn't as fast, but his ability to operate in the passing game looks to be on par with McFarland's ratings and he's a much better blocker.

I wish I had one more season with Sanders and Morse, they are prototype corners in my scheme who never fully developed due to lack of playing time and one being a JuCo transfer. Tim Bostic will take over at one spot and is the future. Duke Thomas is a stop gap type player who may get passed over by 2014 recruit Fred Vickers, who's been red shirting this season, depending on how he progresses in the off season. Incoming freshmen Travis Hughes also shows promise. All in all the corner position will probably be equal to this years squad at the top but won't have as much depth - this is a position I am still building as a few corners have had to be moved to safety as they didn't cut it at corner.

Sheriod Evans was a stop gap player this season who played well. FS Ron Miles will probably make the switch to SS next year and Isaiah Robinson will start at FS. The future at SS however looks to be incoming Freshman Walter Kilpatrick who will likely take a RS next season.

Pruitt's a punter - they are a dime a dozen.

EDIT: How'd you grab the stats? Manual or through the Wire? The download wouldn't have given you all of that.
Just now saw your edit... I started doing them from the console and was going to get career stats but that became old quick so I did them from the web. I had to manually type them over to the spreadsheet I was building. It wasn't too bad but certainly would have been better if stats downloaded all players instead of 25 at each category.

That is awesome G. Obviously I have not been recruiting at a high enough level because I am going to have a huge drop off in talent next season.
