2010 Alex Hurst Draft
Adam Schefter: "Hurst opted to return to Alabama for his senior year after losing the SEC Title game to Tennessee a team he torched in regular season play by the score of 42-14 the previous year. His Crimson tide got off to a 4-0 start against non conference opponents. In October he got the team to a 8-0 record with victories over Florida, LSU, Tennessee, and Auburn the team that beat them. In November Alabama hosted Mississippi State, and Ole Miss and beat both teams by more than 10 points. It looked like Hurst would deliver the Crimson Tide to a national title like he promised before the season as the Tide were 10-0 and needed one win against Kentucky on the road or against Arkansas in Alabama to wrap up the SEC West and play thee Florida Gators for the SEC Title Game. In Hurst's final two games he threw 1 touchdowns 2 interceptions including a critical 4th quarter interception to Dontrelle Jones SS Kentucky which game the Wildcats a golden opportunity to pull off a huge upset. Kentucky made a 27 yard field goal giving the Wildcats a 27-24 victory. The following week Alabama returned home to wrap up the year against Arkansas. Demetrius Grimes CB Arkansas boosted his draft stock in this game picking off Hurst 3 times in a 34-7 razorback vicotry to keep Alabama out of the SEC title game. During this time Boar Jackson RB Auburn managed to gain 1207 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns in the final 4 games. Jackson took the Tigers to the SEC title despite losing to Alabama earlier in the year. Auburn pummeled Florida and Ike Fletcher FS Florida 56-7 to win the SEC Title Game. Jackson managed to gain 356 rushing yards, 153 receiving yards, 5 rushing touchdowns, and 3 receiving touchdowns in the contest. This propelled the Auburn Tigers up to the #2 ranking in the polls and allowed Boar Jackson to beat out defending Heisman Champ Alex Hurst for the Heisman hardware. One team did manage to climb its way to the top ranking in the polls despite a 7-5 record the previous year and gained a 52 to 17 victory against the Pittsburgh Panthers keeping Doki Somanu sackless to finish the previous year 8-5. That team was the North Carolina Tar Heels. They returned better than ever making to the National Title before losing to Auburn. The players that got the Tar Heels to where there at are Nick Erickson LT North Carolina, Walter Wright RT North Carolina who decided to return to school, Corey Kirk WR North Carolina, Armond Carrier MLB North Carolina, and Nick Cane QB North Carolina. The Falcons drafted a quarterback that was really good in my career. I can't remember who he is, but they drafted Cane so it might be him. Ignore what I said about Cane busting. There are two other quarterbacks that could be drafted after Alex Hurst. Those guys are Talon Tolliver QB San Diego State, Corbin Conner QB Vanderbilt, and Nick Cane QB North Carolina. Jermail Rucker TE Cincinnati is the best tight end in this draft. The two intriguing guards are the Onken brothers. Blake Onken RG Texas A/M is the better prospect, but John Onken LG Texas A/M plays the more important guard position on the offensive line in the left guard position. It's safe to say both of the Onken brothers will have promising careers. Despite Mister Wright's departure in last years draft the two Pac 10 All American linebackers on the Pac 10 All American first team are Vinny DeFlippo LOLB UCLA and Chief Sanders MLB Arizona. Central Florida has a sleeper defensive tackle compared to Kevin Williams entering the draft who played with JaMarcus Boone last year. I'm not buying the hype just yet."

Re: Motor City Bad Boys- A NFL Head Coach 09 Career
Nice how you can have a selective boxscore-how do you do it? I'll likely stick with the full boxscore, but it does take a little time. I'd like to know how you do it though.
