Very nice start to your season Skip! LSU looking to make an impact both offensively and defensively.

[JeffHCross]

Recruiting is going to be toooough for me this year.

Yeah since firing our Offensive coordinator and assistance from Jeff, completely changed offensive gameplan. Has helped tremendously not to have 40 and 50's on the Oline. They still get beat but definitely an improvement over last season.

This type of offense works alot better and familiar to what I like to do. Not sure if G, OB and Razor noticed but I don't run the Spread/Spread Option offense very well :D. And with the lack of talent around probably looked very uncomfortable using it.

The defense I ran last season is the same this season, just have better players with it now which makes a difference.

Of course won't know how better we are until I play those guys again which looking over the rosters could be tough again.

I probably won't be able to play my game until late tonight. I'll text JB when I'm kicking off to give him an idea when I'll finish.

LSU handles LA Tech 48-13

(John Diggs with his 2nd TD on the day)

LSU came into the game in uncharted territory almost, having won their 1st game of the season..which didn't happen until Week 12 last season.

The Tigers came into this came feeling good and excited but took a quarter to settle down. After 2 Mosley interceptions, 1 of which was in the redzone by the recruit lost LB Scott Blount. Finally the offense settled down and got into their gameplan with Lawrence running it in from 5 yards out. That was followed by a Mosley TD pass to WR John Diggs. One minute later Lawrence found the endzone again before the half to go up 24-10 as Tech added a FG seconds before the half ended.

In the 2nd half it was all LSU as Lawrence and Diggs added a TD a piece. Backup RB David Stovall added a score as well.

The Tiger Defense really stepped up providing good coverage and forcing the happy feet Tech QB to take off scrambling after very short reads. The Tigers amassed 8 sacks in the game and forced 2 interceptions.

A huge performance by Freshman CB Sean Schroeder was the highlight of the game, as Schroeder picked off 2 passes in the game. One coming off a play where he showed his athletic and catching ability by picking off a tipped pass.

Not to be outdone the Freshman trio of Johnny Rhodes, Ryan Thompson and Nathan McGraw added a combined 5 sacks between the 3 as they continue their strong play thus far into the season.

If really late I can advance after 1am.

[Oneback]

I played my game, this South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama gauntlet to start off the year is brutal.

[gschwendt]

Trying to upload my game results and it's not working... I'm getting a message saying servers not available, though I know they are.

I won so I definitely want the upload to work. I'm going to let it sit for now and try to come back to it a bit later tonight or in the morning.

DON'T ADVANCE!

[skipwondah33]

G, a few of my friends online now said that all of sudden they weren't able to connect to EA servers playing Madden. Despite me being connected as I post this for past 1-1:45.

Said they were just playing then all of sudden couldn't connect.

Not sure of that helps or not

[JeffHCross]

Guys, it may not matter immediately anyway. I see three teams (plus G) who still have points in Recruiting this week.

Florida Knocks of #18 Boise State 45-17
http://easw.easports.com:8096/media2011/ncaa14/17195/NCA14PS3_339_GR_JPEG_SCREENSHOT_uZW.jpg

Florida's return specialist, Tyler Pittman took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. On Boise's ensuing possession, the Broncos managed to drive down to the 11 yard line of Florida but were turned away on downs after a failed fourth down attempt. From there, the Gators dominated the rest of the game.

QB Ben Lewis had a pedestrian day compared to last week versus FAU. Lewis completed 18/32 for 271 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. HB Randall Williams had a solid performance as his duties were to run out the clock in the 3rd & 4th quarters racking up 16 carries for 105 yards and a score.

Defensively, the Gators were stout. While they allowed 379 yards passing on the day, they managed to take away two interceptions, both of which were returned for a pick-six. To go along with their two inteceptions, the Gator defense also managed 4 sacks on the dayThe Boise running game never really got going, despite having the best HB in the country in HB Jay Ajayi as he was limited to 53 yards on 13 carries.

With the win, Florida imrpoves to 2-0 on the early season. Next week's opponent doesn't appear too daunting as the Gators travel to Arkansas State in Week 4 before facing Coach Marcotte & the Oregon Ducks in Week 5.

Where are we with the advance?
