Coach's Comments
Man what a game! We struggled heavily early on... couldn't get anything established. That 2nd quarter we kind of got going and then lost that mojo during the break. We did just enough to get out of here with the win but we have to get Gerardi going. Performances like this will doom us against better competition.

Coach's Comments:

What a defensive struggle. Sure glad my guys played with more heart, shout out to the defense. They've played magnificent while bailing us out a ton in this one. Once again we've struggled through the air but luckily Pierce was able to keep pounding away and helped us to this victory. Just when I got comfortable with Gerardi throwing the rock he folds. We may get really conservative but really can't afford it with Miami Ohio up next on the schedule.

Ohio Video Now Up! Stats and Coach's Comments will be added tomorrow.

Ohio game stats now updated!

Some great wins there man. Tough, and close, but you got the job done. Can't wait to see what I can you do the rest of the season.

I'm really surprised about this performance so far. I really have to 'fist bump' the defense. I ran two more dynasties with the same sliders to ensure it wasn't them causing this great play and its not. In the other two Temple dynasties my defense was trampled and my offense horrible. I find it crazy that the one I'm tracking has me playing great. With the new sliders I've implemented those Bowling Green and Ohio scores may become the normal and they 'feel' about right.

With Miami OH up next (7-2,5-0 on a 5 game winning streak) I'll certainly see what this bunch is made of. We've gotten off easy with our competition but (beginning with Ohio) our season has just started.

Well, Temple's been tearing it up in my dynasty. They were 8-1 at one point, only losing 34-13 to Penn State. They ended up 9-3, 7-1 in the MAC, adding on late season losses to Miami University (28-17) and Army (31-28). If Miami University had not won against Ohio in week 14, it would be Temple going to the MAC CG instead of Miami U.

Coach's Comments:

Huge game. The winner is in the driver seat for the MAC championship game. We can't worry about that right now. We have to take it one play at a time. Miami is very talented, we can't make too many mistakes. Our defense has carried us all season and hopefully we can keep them well rested today so they can make the stand if needed late. This one will go 4 quarters. We're ready.

Same here. Hopefully we'll find out soon what happened.

I'm thinking, from another thread on here, he posted that he actually saw a WR do a diving catch. Hopefully it was for an epic TD to win the game or something!

Don't want to give away my happiness/anger until the game is uploaded. I actually played my next game vs. Army (sorry no game preview) and went to sleep even more confused as before. Both games should be ready today though.

Career will be updated later today. Had a tough week at work.

It's all good man. I've been the same way. Tons of things going on since Thursday morning. Haven't even had the chance to turn my XBox on a single second since my last update in my dynasty.

And nice win against Miami. That was a heck of a comeback. Great job.

Yeah, sometimes life sucks like that:). And I still can't believe that comeback. Now for part 2 of my confusing season.

Yeah I can't believe that letdown. I played the game too soon after the Miami game or something. I also gave up on the run early and lost faith once I realized my defense was struggling against the option. Most of my 2nd half plays were from the 'Ask Coach' option as I was so frustrated about my team's play. Guess the ol' ball coach couldn't do any better :). Luckily, I beat Kent State and will give my kids a shot at a title.

Can't wait to see the video. Looks like you're going to have a fight on your hands, but I think the Owls can pull it out.

I sure hope so but ever since I switched to my Set 2 sliders every game has been a fight. As a coach I'm playing to win and I can't let my 'worry' show on my face :). The game will be played tonight. With my youth league conditioning kicking off tomorrow it might be a day or two before its uploaded.

Thinking about putting the videos away for awhile so I can speed this up a bit and pick it up once I become a HC so I can record both sides of the ball. Thinking...

Might not be a bad idea. Wouldn't want you to get bogged down because of it.
