C-USA Conference Championship Game

:Tulsa: :@: :Marshall:

Game Notes

--- It was a hard fought road, but we made it back to the C-USA Conference Championship Game. Unexpectedly, we would not be facing a rematch with Southern Miss, but instead of showdown with Marshall, the first playing the Thundering Herd in Coach Ramius’ career, after Marshall knocked off the Golden Eagles in week 14. Marshall offensively entered the game as a middling team, neither great nor bad in any area on offense. Defensively, they entered with the #8 passing defense in the nation, but also with the #109 rushing defense. Hopefully our boys would be ready to play and avoid getting upset by Marshall like happened to Southern Miss. With a snowstorm a blowing in Huntington, West Virginia, Marshall won the coin toss and elected to kick.

A touchback on the opening kickoff got us off and running, our offense starting from the 25. Roy Smith took the ball on the opening play, picking up 6 yards on the ground, followed by a 5 yard rush to get the first down. Throwing up a pass to Eric Hayden, the ball was nearly intercepted by the safety, leaving second down. Going over the middle on the next play, this time Hayden was able to get to the ball, hauling in the pass for a 13 yard gain and a first down at the 49 yard line. A 6 yard rush by Smith was followed with a 9 yard gain by Randy Newman to get the first down at the Marshall 36. Smith took the handoff for a 5 yard gain, before Newman rumbled ahead for 9 yards and a first down at the 23 yard line. We would find the end zone on the next play, as the Brad Stephens kept the ball, all the blocks lining up, allowing him to race down the left sideline for the 23 yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead with 6:21 left in the first quarter.

A 17 yard kickoff return started Marshall at their 21. After an incomplete pass on first down, David Ferguson hit Lance Rose for a 10 yard gain, leaving third and inches. That third and inches would turn into first down for our offense, as Montrell Collins hauled in a pass for a 13 yard gain, but was stripped of the ball, cornerback Allen Moore recovering the fumble to give us possession at the Marshall 43 yard line. A pair of rushes by Smith for gains of four yards each left us looking at third and two. Smith was able to get the ball to the first down marker for two yard gain, moving the chains to the 33. Going into the air on first down, Stephens hit Chad Fisher for a 15 yard gain down to the 17. A 6 yard gain by Smith was followed up with a pickup of one yard by Newman to leave third and three. Smith could only manage one yard on the third down carry to the Marshall 9 yard line, leaving the field goal unit coming out. The 27 yard kick by Alphonso Pratt was good, extending our lead to 10-0 with 2:54 left in the first quarter.

Marshall began their next drive on the 25 after the kickoff. Brian Baker started with a two yard rush, followed by a 7 yard gain by Rose to leave third and inches. Opting to go for the pass instead of the run, the throw from Ferguson to Rose was batted incomplete, leaving fourth and inches. An 8 yard return by Fisher on the 42 yard punt set our offense up at our 31. There wasn’t much going on first down, as Smith was quickly wrapped up for a one yard gain. The defense again gave nothing, Smith only able to get one yard to leave third and 8. Stephens never had a chance on third down, forced to throw the ball into the ground just as the blitzing safety hit him, leaving fourth and 8. A 10 yard return on the 45 yard punt gave Marshall possession at their 33 yard line. An incomplete pass, a two yard rush by Baker and a dropped ball by Nigel Lambert left the drive stalled out and the punt team coming out on fourth and 8. A fair catch gave us back possession at our 22 yard line. A 10 yard rush by Smith out to the 32 yard line picked up the first down, as the final seconds ticked off the clock, the first quarter coming to an end with our lead 10-0.

Opening up the second quarter, another 10 yard rush by Smith gave us a first down at the 42 yard line. Keeping it going on the ground, Smith rumbled ahead for an 11 yard gain and a first down at the Marshall 47. The first down pass to Fisher was initially caught, but a big hit to the back by the cornerback jarred the ball loose and incomplete. A missed interception attempt by the outside linebacker allowed Hayden to haul in a pass from Stephens for a 16 yard gain down to the 31 yard line. Throwing to Nicholas Roberts, Stephens was able to get the ball out just before getting hit, Roberts catching the pass on his way out of bounds for a 13 yard gain down to the 18 yard line. A pass to Max Thompson on an out route gained 9 yards, leaving second and two, followed by a 5 yard run by Smith to set up first and goal at the four yard line. The first play was nothing short of a disaster, as Newman was quickly swarmed by green jerseys, pushing off of one tackle attempt and running for the sideline, but quickly pushed further backwards and tackled for a four yard loss to the 8 yard line. A second down rush by Smith picked up three yards, leaving third and goal at the 5. The drive would crash to an end on the next play, as Stephens was sacked for a 9 yard loss, leaving us attempting a field goal from the 14 yard line. The 31 yard field goal attempt by Pratt was no good, leaving the score 10-0 with 5:13 left to go in the half.

Taking over at the 20 yard line, Baker got Marshall started on offense with a 5 yard rush, before Ferguson was tackled for a loss of three yards to leave third and 8. Ferguson would be forced to scramble on third down, picking up four yards, but not enough as the punt team came out on fourth and four. An 8 yard return by Fisher on the 43 yard punt returned possession to our offense at our 39 yard line. Keeping the ball on first down, Stephens was quickly tackled for a loss of three yards. A failed option play on second down resulted in another three yard loss by Stephens, immediately brought down by both the defensive end and the middle linebacker, leaving us facing third and 16. The third down pass intended for Fisher was broken up, and the punt team came out. A fair catch on the 48 yard punt got Marshall started at their 19 yard line. Baker started the drive with a 6 yard rush out to the 25, before an incomplete pass left third and four. The Thundering Herd would commit their second turnover of the game, as Ferguson was intercepted by cornerback Jonathan Chambers, giving us the ball at the Marshall 34 yard line.

A 7 yard rush by Smith was followed with a 6 yard gain to get the first down at the 21 yard line, 2:18 left in the half. A pitch to Newman resulted in us going backwards, tackled for a loss of three yards. The second down pass intended for Hayden sailed long and incomplete, leaving third and 13. Newman would keep the drive alive, hauling in a short pass from Stephens and then racing the safety and outside linebacker to and up the sideline for a 16 yard gain, leaving first and goal at the 7 yard line. Smith never had a chance on first down, swarmed by the defense for a three yard loss, our first timeout stopping the clock with 1:09 to go. Smith picked up one yard up the middle, leaving third and goal at the 9 yard line. The third down pass to Donny Jordan was broken up by the outside linebacker, leaving fourth and goal with 40 seconds to go. The 26 yard field goal by Pratt was good, giving us a 13-0 lead with 37 seconds remaining.

Marshall started their next drive on the 25 yard line after a touchback on the kickoff. Three straight incomplete passes, two of them dropped, left the Thundering Herd punting the ball with 16 seconds to go. An 18 yard return by Fisher on the 47 yard punt gave us the ball at our 45 yard line with 8 seconds to go. Taking a shot deep for the hell of it, the deep bomb down the right sideline intended for Fisher sailed long and out of bounds, leaving three seconds on the clock. A 5 yard rush up the middle by Smith brought the first half to an end, our lead 13-0.

Opening up the third quarter, the kickoff sailed out of the end zone for a touchback, Marshall taking over at their 25 yard line. It would only keep getting worse for the green and white faithful, as Chambers intercepted his second pass of the day, giving us the ball on the Marshall 30 yard line. Smith was quickly brought down for a one yard gain on the first down carry. Stephens kept the ball himself on the next play, a block taking down the cornerback and opening up the corner, Stephens racing all the way down to the four yard line for a 25 yard rush to set up first and goal. The first down rush by Smith went for a loss of two yards. Keeping the ball on second and goal, Stephens also couldn’t find an opening on the ground, tackled for another loss of two yards, leaving third and goal at the 8 yard line. Stephens tried to hit Hayden in the back of the end zone, but the ball sailed too high and out of the end zone incomplete, leaving fourth and goal. The 25 yard field goal by Pratt was good, extending our lead to 16-0 with 6:55 left in the third quarter.

A touchback on the kickoff gave Marshall the ball at their 25 yard line. Ferguson picked up three yards on first down for Marshall, before the defense would force yet another turnover, cornerback Chad Wheeler causing and then recovering a fumble by Baker to give us possession at the Marshal 35 yard line. Smith picked up 8 yards on the first down carry, before being immediately tackled in the backfield for a one yard loss to leave third and three. Newman took the ball on third down, tripped forward for a three yard gain to leave fourth and inches. The 42 yard field goal by Pratt was good, increasing our lead to 19-0 with 4:31 to play in the third quarter.

No return on the kickoff left Marshall again at their 25 yard line. After a dropped pass by Wesley Anderson, the Thundering Herd finally found some success, as Ferguson hit Albert Jenkins for a 13 yard gain and a first down at the 38. Another pass to Jenkins picked up 17 yards to our 45 yard line. Two incomplete passes and a two yard rush by Baker would leave the drive stalled out, Marshall punting on fourth and 8 from our 43 yard line. The punt sailed out of the end zone for a touchback, our offense taking over at our 20 yard line. A pair of rushes by Smith picked up gains of three and 5 yards to give us third and two at the 28 yard line. The toss left to Newman sent us backwards, tackled for a loss of four yards and punting on fourth and 7. A 5 yard return on the 46 yard punt gave Marshall possession at the 36 yard line. It was a rough start, as a holding penalty sent the Herd backwards. Another holding penalty made it even more daunting for Marshall, left with first and 10 at the 16 yard line. After an incomplete pass on first down, the defense forced its fifth turnover of the game, middle linebacker Jermaine Clark stripping the ball out of the arms of Collins after he received a pass from Ferguson and recovering the fumble at the Marshall 29 yard line.

A pair of rushes by Smith picked up gains of two and four yards to leave third and four. Stephens kept the ball himself on the next play, spinning his way out of two tackles, but ultimately only able to gain one yard, leaving fourth and three. That would be the final play of the third quarter, as the last five seconds ticked off the clock, our lead holding at 19-0.

Opening up the fourth quarter, the 39 yard field goal attempt by Pratt was good, extending our lead now to 22-0 just three seconds into the fourth. A 24 yard kickoff return set Marshall up at their 23 yard line, an uphill climb in front of them, but not impossible. Airing it out, Ferguson completed a 7 yard past to Jenkins before hitting Collins for a gain of 13 yard and a first down at the 43 yard line. A pass to Rose for 5 yards was followed with an 8 yard strike to Anderson and another first down at our 45. Ferguson would find Collins for an 11 yard gain on the next play and a new set of downs at our 34 yard line, before three straight incomplete passes, the last one dropped by Lambert, left Marshall stuck in the mud on fourth and 10. The Herd elected to go for it, the pass intended for Baker sailing incomplete, and we took over on downs at our 34 yard line.

Stephens took the ball on first down, only managing to pick up two yards, followed by a 7 yard rush by Smith to leave third and one at the 42. The Marshall defense again denied us on third down, the middle linebacker blitzing through and blowing up the play, tackling Smith for a two yard loss to leave fourth and three. A fair catch on the 44 yard punt set Marshall up at their 16 yard line with 5:57 to go. After a pair of incomplete passes, Ferguson hit Lambert deep for a 26 yard gain and a first down at the 42 yard line. Three more incomplete passes, including yet another dropped ball by Lambert, left the Herd facing fourth and 10. Marshall would covert the fourth down, as Ferguson hit Rose down the right sideline for a 25 yard gain to set up first down at our 33 yard line. A pair of incomplete passes and a false start penalty left Marshall with third and 15. They would turn the ball over on downs two plays later, Collins dropping two consecutive passes.

With the turnover on downs, we took over on offense at our 38 yard line, 4:44 left to play in the game. The defense continued to shut down our run game, Smith tackled for a three yard loss on the first down carry. An incomplete pass intended for Fisher was nearly intercepted, leaving third and 13. With a heavy blitz coming, Stephens rolled out and tried to scramble, but was tripped up by the outside linebacker for an 11 yard sack, leaving us punting on fourth and 24. A 10 yard return on the 51 yard punt gave Marshall the ball at their 34 yard line. Marshall went right to the air on first down, Ferguson finding Rose for a 10 yard gain and a first down at the 44. After two incomplete passes, a 27 yard throw to Anderson converted the third down and gave Marshall a first down at our 29 yard line. An 8 yard pass to Anderson was followed with two incomplete passes, leaving fourth and two at our 21. A 5 yard toss to Jenkins got the first down for the Herd, moving the chains to our 16 yard line. Two incomplete passes and a loss of four yards by Baker left Marshall looking at fourth and 14 at our 19 yard line, 2:29 left in the game. Our defense would respond, sacking Ferguson for an 8 yard loss and forcing the turnover on downs at our 27 yard line with 2:19 remaining.

Taking over at our 27 yard line after the turnover on downs, Smith took the first down carry for a 6 yard gain to the 33. A 6 yard rush by Newman would get the first down at the 39 yard line, and that would be all she wrote, as Stephens would only need to kneel down the ball twice to run the final 1:34 off the clock, giving us a 22-0 victory and clinching the C-USA Championship for another year.

With the win, we improve to 9-4, 7-2 in C-USA action and win the 2016 C-USA Championship. With the loss, Marshall drops to 8-5, 7-2 in C-USA play. Up next, the wait to find out who we will play in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

So there you have it. In a surprise move, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl says "FU" to conference champion Tulsa and instead picks #23 Southern Miss. With it being an even year, as the (now) #2 team in regards to bowl selection, Tulsa drops down to the TicketCity Bowl against 7-5 Northwestern (which C-USA is the rep vs. the Big Ten in even years).

#1 Notre Dame takes on #2 TCU in the National Championship Game.

Looking through the standings, 78 teams made it bowl eligible with only 68 slots. A lot of teams getting screwed.

And a look at who got screwed out of a bowl game this year:

Big East

:East_Carolina: - (6-6)
:Navy: - (6-6)

C-USA

:UTSA: - (6-6)

MAC

:Miami_OH: - (6-6)

Pac-12

:Oregon_State: - (6-6)

Sun Belt

:Army: - (6-6)

WAC

:Idaho: - (8-4)
:Wyoming: - (8-4)
:New_Mexico: - (6-6)
:New_Mexico_State: - (6-6)

:D You knew it was going to happen. I was sitting there before I simmed the game, thinking "I just know this game is gonna fuck Southern Miss over", and sure enough. :D

But hey, I beat Marshall for you, and you guys still got to go to the Liberty Bowl since they apparently wanted Southern Miss over Tulsa.

Three shutouts in a row?

Time to change conferences, sir. That level of dominance is simply unacceptable.

They must just be that bad, because I haven't touched sliders in two seasons. I've gone from pathetic losses and tight battles down to the last second, to a couple shutouts. UTSA pretty much just simply sucks. UTEP had the three turnovers that hurt them and killed potential scoring drives. And Marshall, well, you aren't gonna score points when you commit 5 turnovers. And Marshall wasn't even dominance. A whole one touchdown and a bunch of field goals, and still got outgained in yards by Marshall. So their turnovers were the reason they didn't score any points and weren't right there fighting for the win.

Unless I were to move Tulsa to the Big East or something in this coming off-season (which such a move has been rumored but not actually happened yet, so I'd be jumping the gun), there's not much I can do. I've still got another three years on my contract with Tulsa, so it's not even like I can jump to a new team elsewhere.

:D

Not at all. Tulsa just hasn't moved to a new conference yet. I'm trying to keep my conferences as realistic as possible (as possible with the restrictions forced upon me by being forced to keep the goddamn WAC around). If the real life Tulsa moves to the Big East, I'll move mine there. So if you want that move to happen immediately, email Tulsa and tell them to hurry their asses up working out a deal with the Big East. ;)

--- Here we were once again, the conclusion of another season. Despite winning the C-USA Championship for the 2016 season, we were shafted out of the Liberty Bowl, dropping down to the TicketCity Bowl and a matchup with Northwestern. It would be a tough battle, as Northwestern had a more than skilled defense, to go along with the #36 passing attack in the nation. Hopefully our defense would be able to keep us in the game. Northwestern was the recognized home team for the game, a sunny day in Dallas. Northwestern won the coin toss and elected to kick.

A touchback on the opening kickoff got our first drive of the game started at our 25 yard line. Roy Smith took the opening handoff, fighting his way forward for a 9 yard gain against the Wildcats defense. An 11 yard rush by Smith picked up the first down at the 45 yard line on the next play. Taking the ball on first down, Randy Newman was able to pick up two yards, before a one yard rush by Smith left third and 7. Forced to scramble due to the collapsing pocket, Brad Stephens was able to avoid the defensive tackle and break open, getting tackled forward across the first down line for a 10 yard gain to the Northwestern 42. A quick pass to Eric Hayden picked up 15 yards, moving the chains down to the 27 yard line. Taking the ball on first down, Smith was only able to get one yard, the defense breaking through the line to blow up the play. A pitch left never had a chance, the defensive end slowing Smith down, allowing the cornerback and linebacker to close in for the tackle and a four yard loss. Going into the air on third and 13, the pass to Donny Jordan picked up only 5 yards, leaving us with fourth and 8. The 42 yard field goal by Alphonso Pratt was good, giving us a 3-0 lead with 4:19 left in the first quarter.

A 19 yard kickoff return gave Northwestern the ball at their 18 yard line.Ryan Smith started the Wildcats with a 5 yard rush, before Smith launched a deep pass to Andy McDonald for a 24 yard gain and first down at the 47 yard line. McDonald was tackled on the next play for a three yard loss, followed by a three yard pickup by Josh White to leave the Wildcats with third and 10. A 7 yard pass from Smith to Joel Thompson wouldn’t be enough, leaving fourth and three at the 46. Northwestern would run a fake field goal, the pass from kicker Ryan Mills intended for cornerback Alonzo Galloway falling incomplete and turning the ball over on downs. Starting on our 46 after the turnover, the defense wasn’t about to let our run game get moving again, Smith tackled for a one yard gain on first down. Keeping the ball on second down, Stephens was only able to get two yards before being swarmed by purple jerseys. Going into the air on third and 7, the pass to Antoine Banks picked up only four yards, leaving fourth and three at the Northwestern 47 yard line. The punt sailed long and bounced into the end zone, giving Northwestern the ball at their 20.

Opening the drive for Northwestern, White took the ball on consecutive plays, picking up a pair of two yard gains for the Wildcats, leaving third and 6. The drive would remain alive as Smith connected with Laurence Hollis for 14 yards out to the 38. Smith attempted to run the ball on first down, but the defense broke through the line and tackled him for a four yard loss, followed by an incomplete pass on the next play to leave third and 14. Northwestern would keep moving though as Smith connected with White for a 16 yard gain to the 49 yard line. That would end up being the final play of the first quarter, our lead 3-0.

Opening up the second quarter, Smith threw deep over the middle to Jerrell Sanders for a 19 yard gain to our 32 yard line. A 6 yard rush by Smith was followed with a 9 yard pass to McDonald down to our 16. The Wildcats would find the end zone on the next play, White breaking loose and rushing it in for the 16 yard touchdown and a 7-3 lead with 8:12 to play in the half.

An 18 yard return got us set up at our 17 yard line and looking for answers. Throwing on first down, Hayden hauled in a pass for a 6 yard gain, but the Northwestern defense would say hello to Stephens on the next play, sacking him for an 9 yard loss to leave third and 13. A 12 yard pass to Max Thompson would leave us one yard short, the punt team coming out on fourth down. A 7 yard return on the 50 yard punt gave Northwestern possession at their 30 yard line. Smith was tackled for a four yard loss on a designed run on first down, followed by an incomplete pass to leave third and 14. Northwestern nearly had the first down on a deep pass, but the ball was dropped by Thomas Scott, bringing out the punt team for the Wildcats. A fair catch on the 46 yard punt gave us possession at our 27. Going into the air on first down, Stephens threw to Nicholas Roberts on a smash route, but outside linebacker Nate Gschwend was there to jump the route, intercepting the ball and giving Northwestern possession at our 39 yard line.

Starting at our 39 yard line after the interception, Smith connected with McDonald for an 18 yard gain down to our 20 yard line. A two yard rush by Smith was followed with a 5 yard rush by White, before Smith picked up the first down himself with a 6 yard gain on the ground, giving the Wildcats first and goal at our 7 yard line. A 5 yard rush by Smith got Northwestern down to our two yard line, where Smith would go into the air, hitting Thompson for a two yard touchdown pass and a 14-3 lead with 4:38 left in the second quarter.

An 18 yard kickoff return gave us the ball at our 20 yard line and looking for a response. The first down pass intended for Hayden sailed incomplete. Stephens found Newman over the middle for a 5 yard gain on the next play, leaving third and 5. We kept the drive alive as Stephens found Chad Fisher for a 9 yard gain out to the 34 yard line. Keeping in the air on the next play, Hayden slipped past the cornerback and was streaking down the left sideline wide open. The pass from Stephens would never find its way to Hayden though, as Galloway broke over from the middle of the field and intercepted the pass, returning it 6 yards to our 46 yard line. After an incomplete pass on first down, White took the ball up the middle for an 8 yard rush, before a one yard gain by White left Northwestern with fourth and one at our 38. The Wildcats would surprisingly punt it, the ball sailing out of the end zone for a touchback.

Starting on our 20 yard line after the punt, we quickly abandoned the pass and returned to the ground game. That provided no success either, as Smith was tackled for losses of one and two yards to leave us facing third and 13. Northwestern called their first timeout of the half with two minutes to go. The third down pass intended for Hayden was off target, sailing behind Hayden’s back and incomplete, leaving the punt team coming out. A 7 yard return on the 48 yard punt gave Northwestern the ball at their 41 yard line, 1:52 left on the clock. Two incomplete passes got the drive started, followed by a false start penalty that left Northwestern with third and 15. The Wildcats would covert the third and long, as Smith found Hollis for a 19 yard gain to our 45 yard line. A pass to Thompson was followed with a 16 yard strike to McDonald, setting Northwestern up with first down at our 21 yard line, 1:10 remaining. After an incomplete pass and a dropped ball, Northwestern returned to the end zone with a 21 yard touchdown pass from Smith to White, giving the Wildcats a 21-3 lead with 46 seconds remaining.

A 24 yard kickoff return by Fisher set us up at our 32 yard line, 35 seconds to go and all three timeouts. It was horrible start to the drive, as Stephens was sacked for an 11 yard loss, our first timeout stopping the clock with 31 seconds. Stephens was able to connect deep with Smith for a 27 yard gain to the 48 yard line. Rushing to the line, the first down pass intended for Hayden sailed incomplete, stopping the clock with 22 seconds. A pass intended for Roberts was broken up by the cornerback, leaving us third and 10, 18 seconds to go. An 11 yard pass to Thompson picked up the first down at the 41 yard line, our second timeout stopping the clock with 14 seconds. The defense got to Stephens once again, sacking him for an 8 yard loss, leaving us with second and 18 at our 49 yard line, our final timeout stopping the clock with 5 seconds to go. Throwing up a hail mary, the pass by Stephens was underpowered and well short, intercepted by cornerback Mario Bryant to end the half, Northwestern dominating 21-3.

No return on the kickoff to start the third quarter gave Northwestern the ball at their 25 yard line. Smith started off the drive with a 5 yard pass to Sanders, followed by an incomplete pass to leave third and 5. Another incomplete pass would bring the drive to an end, a 7 yard return by Fisher on the 45 yard punt giving us possession at our 32 yard line. Opening up through the air, Stephens found Fisher for a 9 yard gain to leave second and one at the 41. Smith was able to find a hole up the middle on second down, sprinting ahead for a 14 yard gain and a first down at the Northwestern 45 yard line. A first down pass to Fisher was broken up by the safety, nearly intercepted, leaving us second down. A pass to Jordan along the sideline picked up a 12 yard and a first down at the 33 yard line. Hayden was able to beat his man off the line on the next play, Stephens heaving a pass deep into the end zone and Hayden leaping up to haul in the 33 yard touchdown pass, cutting Northwestern’s lead to 21-10 with 7:05 left in the third quarter.

No return on the kickoff set Northwestern up at their 25. After an incomplete pass on first down, Smith hit White for a 15 yard gain to the 40 yard line. The defense fought back, tackling Smith for a three yards loss and forcing an incomplete pass to leave third and 13. A sack for a 10 yard loss capped off the drive for the defense, leaving Northwestern punting on fourth and 23. A fair catch on the 40 yard punt gave us possession at our 32 yard line. A 12 yard pass to Fisher got a quick first down at the 44 yard line. Smith picked up 6 yards on the ground, followed by an 8 yard gain to get the first down at the Northwestern 41 yard line. A quick pass to Roberts avoided the sack and picked up 17 yards to get us down to the 24 yard line. The first down pass intended for Banks sailed incomplete, before Hayden was able to break inside on his man and haul in a 21 yard pass from Stephens to give us first and goal at the three yard line. Trying to take it up the middle on first down, Smith was quickly wrapped up for a one yard loss. Stephens had no luck as well, as the defense instantly broke through and tackled Stephens for a loss of four yards to leave third and goal at the 8 yard line. The third down pass to Thompson was complete, but Thompson was stopped short of the goal line, tackled for a 7 yard gain to leave fourth and goal at the one yard line. Going for it when so close, Smith took the ball on fourth down, was forced outside by the defense and made a move towards the goal line, only to be tripped up by the linebacker at the one yard line, turning the ball over on downs.

Taking over at their one yard line after the turnover, Northwestern got a 6 yard rush by White to get out of their end zone, followed by a 7 yard rush for a first down at the 14. After two incomplete passes, Smith found Sanders for a 9 yard gain, leaving fourth and one and the punt team coming out. A fair catch on the 46 yard punt gave us the ball at our 30 yard line. A pitch left to Smith resulted in a loss of four yards, followed by a 7 yard pass to Jordon to leave third and 7. Throwing to Newman, he was just able to get across the first down line, breaking a tackle and stumbling forward before falling down for an 8 yard gain and a first down at the 42 yard line. A quick pass to Fisher picked up 9 yards, before Newman was tackled for a one yard loss left us with third and two. That would be the final play of the third quarter, as the clock expired before we could get another snap off, Northwestern leading 21-10.

Opening up the fourth quarter, Stephens kept the ball on third down, only able to get one yard before the blitzing linebacker brought him down from behind. The 49 yard punt sailed down to the 5 yard line before bouncing the rest of the way into the end zone for a touchback. Northwestern began their drive on the 20 yard line with 8:27 left in the game. Smith opened up the drive with a 6 yard rush, before passing to Thompson for a 5 yard gain at the 31 yard line. Sanders was tackled for a two yard loss on the next play, followed by a four yard rush by White to leave third and 8 at the 32. The Wildcats would keep the drive alive as Smith completed a deep bomb to McDonald for a 29 yard gain and a first down at our 38 yard line. A 25 yard pass to Thompson set up a first down at our 14. Our defense had no answer for the pass attack, as Smith connected with White for a 12 yard gain to give Northwestern first and goal at our two yard line. White would do the honors on the next play, rushing it in for the two yard touchdown, extending Northwestern’s lead to 28-10 with 6:45 left in the game.

A 23 yard kickoff return set our offense up at our 28 yard line, losing by a lot and with little time remaining. Going into the air on first down, a missed interception attempt by the safety allowed Roberts to haul in a deep pass from Stephens for a 35 yard gain, driven out of bounds at the Northwestern 37. The first down pass intended for Hayden was broken up, nearly intercepted, leaving second down. A 13 yard strike over the middle to Fisher moved the chains to the 25 yard line. Taking a shot at the end zone on first down, Stephens was able to lob a ball up and over the reach of the cornerback, into the waiting arms of Fisher for the 25 yard touchdown. Going for the two point conversion, Stephens was sacked for a 9 yard loss before he could release the ball, leaving the score 28-16 with 5:53 to play.

No return gave Northwestern the ball at their 25 yard line, a 12 point lead and 6 minutes away from victory. White took the ball on first down, picking up 7 yards, followed by a 5 yard pass from Smith to Thompson to get the first down at the 37. A 5 yard pass to Hollis gave way to a 12 yard rush by White and another first down at our 45 yard line. A 27 yard strike to Hollis moved Northwestern down to our 18 yard line, the Wildcats clearly not content with running out the clock, but looking to tack on more points. Our defense would help them do just that, as we were flagged for pass interference, the 15 yard penalty setting up first and goal at our three yard line. Scott would punch it in on the next play for the three yard touchdown, increasing Northwestern’s lead to 35-16 with 4:30 to play.

A 20 yard kickoff return get us started at our 21 yard line, 4:19 to remaining and all hopes of a comeback nearly dashed. The first down pass intended for Fisher was broken up, followed by an incomplete pass to Hayden to leave third and 10. A 20 yard pass to Thompson kept us breathing, giving us a first down at the 41 yard line. The first down pass intended for Banks was broken up by the safety. The second down pass intended for Hayden sailed too high and too long, leaving third down. Fisher saved the drive on the next play, hauling in a 17 yard pass from Stephens to get the first down at the Northwestern 42. The first down pass intended for Hayden was nearly intercepted, leaving second down. A 10 yard pass to Hayden left us third and inches. Rushing to the line, Stephens tried to pick up the first down himself, but was quickly brought down by the middle linebacker for a two yard loss, leaving fourth and two, our first timeout stopping the clock with 3:04 to go. Jordan was able to get open coming out of the backfield, hauling in the pass from Stephens for an 8 yard gain. A flag came out during the play, cornerback Corey Robinson flagged for a facemask, the 15 yards giving us a first down at the Northwestern 13 yard line. Fisher caught a pass for a 7 yard gain to get us down to the 6 yard line, before Roberts hauled in a pass over the middle for the 6 yard touchdown, the extra point cutting the gap to 35-23 with 2:35 left in the game.

Any hopes we had of a comeback ended with Northwestern recovered the onside kick at our 41 yard line. Scott took the ball on first down for a three yard gain, before being tackled for a loss of two yards to leave third and 9. An incomplete pass on third down stopped the clock with 1:51 to go, the Northwestern punt sailed out of the end zone for a touchback.

Our offense came out, starting at our 20 yard line with 1:46 to go and two timeouts remaining. Throwing deep, Stephens found Hayden for behind his man for a 35 yard gain to the Northwestern 45 yard line, getting out of bounds to stop the clock with 1:41 to go. Northwestern was not about to give up, sacking Stephens for an 8 yard loss. Rushing back to the line, Stephens was able to avoid a second sack, shaking the defender off, but his deep pass to Fisher sailed incomplete, leaving third and 18 with 1:21 to go. The defense again broke through, getting to Stephens before he was able to even try to throw the ball, sacking him for a 9 yard loss to leave fourth and 27, our second timeout stopping the clock with 1:17 to go. Chucking up a prayer, Newman kept us alive, out jumping the safety to haul in the 31 yard bomb, giving us a first down at the Northwestern 31 yard line. Fisher was able to haul in a pass for a 15 yard gain down to the 16 yard line, shaking off the tackle and escaping to the sideline to stop the clock with 56 seconds to go. The first down pass intended for Hayden sailed incomplete. Stephens was able to hit Thompson for a 12 yard gain on the next play, leaving first and goal at the four yard line with 48 seconds to go. Shaking off one sack attempt, Stephens scrambled off to his left. With the end zone cut off by defenders, he attempted to get out of bounds, but was sacked for a one yard loss just shy of the sideline, forcing our third and final timeout to stop the clock with 40 seconds to go. A second down pass to Roberts was stopped short for a three yard gain, leaving third and goal at the one yard, racing to the line as the clock continued to run. Stephens was quickly forced out of the pocket, scrambling but finding any path to the end zone blocked, racing to the sideline for no gain, leaving fouth and goal on the one yard line, 16 seconds to go. Looking to punch it up the gut on fourth down, Stephens never had a chance, the entire defense instantly breaking through to tackle Stephens for a two yard loss, turning the ball over on downs with 13 seconds to go.

Taking over on their two yard line, Northwestern ran off the final 13 seconds with a 5 yard rush by Scott, Northwestern clinching the 35-23 victory in the Ticketcity Bowl.

With the loss, we end our 2016 season at 9-5, 7-2 in C-USA action. With the win, Northwestern’s year comes to a close at 8-5, 5-4 in Big Ten play.

Final Score
:Northwestern: 35, :Tulsa: 23

Stat(s) of the Game:
- Tulsa Offense – When actually completing passes, it was a great day for Stephens, going 33-50 for 466 yards and three touchdowns, his best day passing all year. However, he also threw three interceptions in the first half and was sacked 7 times. Rushing was nonexistent. Smith ended the day with 41 yards on 14 carries, but all those sacks added up to -40 on 13 carries for Stephens. Eight receivers caught a ball today, Hayden leading the way with 120 yards and a touchdown on 6 receptions, Fisher right behind with 117 yards and a touchdown on 9 receptions as our lone 100-yard guys. Seven guys in total ended with double digit yards for the game.

- Tulsa Defense – Hot and cold. About sums it up. Great defense in the first and third quarter. Horrible defense in the second and fourth quarters.

- Tulsa Kicking – A perfect day for Pratt, 1-1 in field goals with the 42 yard kick, and 2-2 in PATs.

That's gonna leave a mark. :(

The first half was atrocious. I wrote down the halftime stats.

Halftime Stats

Tulsa

4 yards rushing on 14 carries
95 yards passing, 9-16
99 total offense
6 first downs

Northwestern

50 yards rushing on 15 carries, 1 TD
173 yards passing, 12-21, 2 TD
223 yards total offense
9 first downs

The second half was at least good for us offensively, but that first half of absolutely nothing on offense pretty much killed our chances to win.

Tough break man. :(

Hopefully next year will be brighter.

Yeah, but it wasn't surprising. Northwestern had a much better offense and a bit better defense, so it was pretty much going to be an uphill battle no matter what. Those three interceptions certainly didn't help any.

Already going into year 3? This is around the time where your team gets too good in conference but suck against the big boys.

Wow! Seems like yesterday that you just started this. I see the beginning of your conference domination this season.

Yeah, it's a little bit. Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss are still pains in the ass. North Texas will probably still be a tough game. The rest, this season, Marshall had 5 turnovers, UTEP had 3 turnovers, UTSA plain and simple sucks, so I wasn't surprised those were easy wins (surprised they were shutouts though), so it's not full domination yet, but it may be getting there, especially against the teams I play in the West Division.

I'll find out next year when I lose most of the rest of my original NCAA '13 roster. Next season will be 95% all recruits, so it will be the first true test season.

And so there you go. Notre Dame is your 2016 National Champion and the Big East wins the 2016 Bowl Challenge Cup.

The Pac-12 goes 2-5 for the bowl season to claim the "we suck" conference title of 2016.

The Mountain West got a save by me last year and kept their automatic bid. They had to go .500 (or one game under .500 with an impressive win) to keep that bid secure. They failed to do so. A 2-4 showing this year with 3 blowout losses, kills the automatic bid for the Mountain West.

The Big East made a damn great recovery after their 0-7 showing in 2014, finishing 3-4 last year and winning the Cup this year with a 5-1 mark. If the Big East finishes above .500 next bowl season, they may get their automatic bid back for the 2018 season.

DAMN! There was some serious shaking up the college ranks! :D

And I sat there thinking long, hard and serious about that Navy OC job offer. I was so damn tempted to take, and that was the only out I have allowed myself to leave a contract before it's end, is a job offer from Navy. I gave it some damn serious thought, but ultimately decided to turn it down and coach out the remaining three years on my contract.

Alright, so with the new C-USA divisions being just recently announced, I have switched Louisiana Tech and MTSU around to match the real life divisions.

With that, my yearly protected rivalry with Southern Miss is now over, Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss are matched back up as a protected rivalry. My new protected rival is now Marshall. Options were either Marshall (a decent team that may provide decent competition every year), MTSU (which sucks, and, dating back to my FIU days, I'm sick of playing) or UAB (who is horrible and would probably be blowouts every year). Marshall easily won out over those three choices.

The following players have been redshirted for the 2017 season.

I'm taking a risk this season. I'm gonna put Pratt on redshirt this year. 98 OVR, 99 Kick Power and 97 Kick Accuracy, he should be maxed out come next season after sitting out this year on a redshirt. David Glover, my backup kicker, is 71 OVR, 71 Kick Power and 72 Kick Accuracy. A major drop off that very well could potentially cost me games, but Glover would be starting next year regardless if I leave Pratt playing this year and he graduates. I'm sticking Pratt on the sidelines for this season and saving him for a 5th year next year, when he should be 99 OVR, 99 KPW and 99 KAC.
