Re: GAME 11 OF 2021/2006 SEASONS
With this dynasty, I’ve been playing the game for nine years now and running the same created playbook for about 2-3 years. I know the plays inside and out. At some point in the second season of this dynasty, I created a new playbook to alleviate some of the comfort level I had with the book I’ve been using, but I still included a lot of familiar plays. I did try using the regular Vandy book in a game in this dynasty and I just wasn’t feeling it. So, I’ve come to believe that playbook familiarity may be the biggest indicator of success in football video games, more so than mode, sliders or even talent.

2021/2006 SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
Alabama beats UGA in OT for SEC title
It was old-school football when Alabama and Georgia met for the Southeastern Conference championship in the ATL. Each team managed only seven points after four full quarters before Alabama won 10-7 in overtime on a 25-yard field goal by Will Reichard. Alabama took a 7-0 lead on a 3-yard run by Brian Robinson with 10:14 left in the first quarter. Georgia tied it on a 3-yard run by Zamir White with 4:33 left in the second quarter. Befitting an old-school defensive clash, there wasn’t much done via the passing game. Alabama had 123 passing yards, while Georgia had 109. The running backs did the bulk of the work, with Robinson running 24 times for 100 yards and White running 22 times for 105 yards. Georgia’s Jourdan Davis had a sack and three tackles for losses. 2021 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES C-USA: Alabama-Birmingham 27, Western Kentucky 3 SEC: Alabama 10, Georgia 7 (OT) Mountain West: Nevada 45, Wyoming 28 Pac-12: Oregon 45, Utah 31 ACC: Clemson 37, Virginia Tech 17 Big Ten: Nebraska 23, Penn State 20 (OT) MAC: Central Michigan 38, Kent State 17  Kenny Irons’ huge second quarter lifts Auburn to SEC championship THE ATL (AP) — Imagine what Kenny Irons would have done if he got to go up against Vanderbilt this season. He was able to do plenty against a strong Florida team, scoring four touchdowns in the second quarter to carry seventh-ranked Auburn to a 41-21 victory over the eighth-ranked Gators in the 2006 Southeastern Conference Championship Game at the Georgia Dome. The game was tied 7-7 after one quarter before Irons caught fire. He hauled in touchdown passes of 33 and 30 yards from Brandon Cox to begin Auburn’s big second quarter, then capped it off by scoring on runs of 7 and 18 yards. Irons finished with 24 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns. He caught three passes for 69 yards and two scores. Cox was 14-for-27 for 196 yards, four touchdowns and two picks. Florida’s Chris Leak was 15-for-30 for 179 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. |

2021/2006 COLLEGE FOOTBALL AWARDS/HEISMAN PRESENTATION
 Middle linebacker Ethan Barr had an interception against South Carolina. Sophomore MLB makes All-America list Ethan Barr will go down as the first player in this dynasty to receive some national love. Barr, an 81 OVR sophomore middle linebacker, made the second team on the 2021 All-America squad. He earned his spot by having 21 tackles for losses among his 72 total stops. He has three sacks and one interception. Barr was also one of only two Vanderbilt players to make first-team All-Southeastern Conference. The other is James Ziglor, who made it as a return specialist. Ziglor averages 28.6 yards per kick return and 10.9 yards per punt return. Making second-team All-SEC for the Commodores are junior running back Re’Mahn Davis, senior cornerback Allan George and senior free safety Dashaun Jerkins.

Alabama running back wins Heisman Alabama running back Brian Robinson was really good in real life, but even better during the 2021 season of this dynasty. Robinson rushed for 399 more yards and eight more touchdowns in this dynasty without even factoring in the two playoff games he played in real life. That type of production earned Robinson the 2021 Heisman Trophy over Texas quarterback Casey Thompson. Robinson won in a landslide, getting 413 first-place votes and 1,813 voting points. Thompson had 147 first-place votes and 1,023 voting points. Of course, the only trophy that matters for either player is the crystal football, which each will get a shot at when Alabama and Texas clash for the national championship. Robinson has 287 carries for 1,742 yards and 22 touchdowns to go with 24 catches for 331 yards and three scores. In real life, he ran 271 times for 1,343 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2021 before being drafted by the team formerly known as the Washington Redskins.  1.

(AP) — Defense was the biggest weakness for Vanderbilt during its 3-9 2006 season, so it’s ironic that the players who received the most postseason accolades came from that side of the ball. Red-shirt junior middle linebacker Jonathan Goff has been named a second-team All-American but, because Florida’s Brandon Siler is the first-team pick, Goff is only a second-team pick in the Southeastern Conference. The only Vanderbilt player to make the All-SEC first team is strong safety Reshard Langford. Goff set an all-time B-Dawg record for tackles in a season by a college player with 98. He also had 23 tackles for losses, five sacks, one intercepton, seven forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He forced four fumbles in one game against Florida and tied B-Dawg’s all-time NCAA record with 13 tackles in that game. Goff finished second to Nebraska’s Steve Octavien for Linebacker of the Year. “Jonathan was a beast,” B-Dawg said. “It was a lot of fun seeing how he would abuse ball carriers. I could tell from the first half of our first game when he already had eight tackles that he was going to be a special player.” Langford had one interception in each of Vanderbilt’s first four games, but didn’t have one the rest of the season. The red-shirt sophomore still remained a sure tackler, finishing second on the team with 66 stops. “Unfortunately, our safeties got a lot of action because if teams went away from Goff, they were usually into our secondary with a big gain,” B-Dawg said. “I was really hoping Reshard could have a special season once he got those four interceptions in the first four games, but he cooled off after that.” No other Vanderbilt player made the first or second team in the SEC. The Commodores ranked 116th out of 119 teams in the nation by allowing 38.1 points per game. The 405.5 yards they yielded per game ranked 104th. “We definitely need to toughen up on defense next year,” B-Dawg said. “Having Jonathan and Reshard back will certainly go a long way toward making us a better defense.” 2006 AWARD WINNERS Maxwell — Jamil Walker, Wisconsin (325 carries, 2,053 yards, 22 TD; 9 catches, 150 yards, 1 TD) Bednarik — Steve Octavien, Nebraska (72 tackles, 18 TFL, 7 sacks, 3 int., 3 FF, 2 TD) Quarterback — John David Booty, USC (267-for-418, 3,679 yards, 38 TD, 13 int.)

Who knows if South Carolina receiver Sidney Rice would have won college football’s most prestigious award without a big game against the Commodores, but it certainly didn’t hurt. Rice had seven catches for 133 yards and three touchdowns in South Carolina’s 56-24 rout at Vanderbilt on Oct. 21. Rice finished with 67 catches for 1,094 yards and 17 touchdowns. “If we ever forgot to double-cover him, South Carolina was going to get him the ball and it wasn’t going to be pretty for us,” Vanderbilt coach B-Dawg said. “I’d have to say he’s one of the top three players we faced all year, right up there with Michigan’s Mike Hart and Florida’s Andre Caldwell. I hope he leaves early for the NFL draft. He’s certainly good enough to play at the next level right now.” Rice won the award in a landslide, garnering 1,577 voting points to easily outdistance runner-up John David Booty of USC by 704 points. |

GAME 13 OF 2021 SEASON
 Vanderbilt defensive end Elijah McAllister celebrates a stop on fourth down with 56 seconds left in the game.  Vanderbilt strong safety Max Worship sacks Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham.  Vanderbilt defensive tackle Daevion Davis also introduces himself to Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham. VANDY PAWZ Vanderbilt overcomes drops in snow, beats Louisville in Music City Bowl NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Pull up a chair for storytime with Uncle B-Dawg … Back in the NCAA 2004 days, B-Dawg and Roadhouse met for an online game. They liked using mediocre teams, so B-Dawg chose Central Michigan and Roadhouse rolled with Baylor, back when Baylor was the Baylor your father, grandfather and great-grandfather knew. The game was played at Kelly/Shorts Stadium in Mount Pleasant, Mich. As often happens in Mount Pleasant, it was snowing. Baylor receivers dropped pass after pass in the snow, prompting Roadhouse to coin the phrase “Baylor Pawz” for receivers who can’t hang on to the ball. Vanderbilt had to overcome a case of “Baylor Pawz” in the Commodores’ second straight snow game in the state of Tennessee. Vandy was able to beat Louisville, 23-14, in the Music City Bowl despite 10 dropped passes. Louisville’s receivers didn’t seem to have an issue in the cold, catching everything that hit their hands. The drops were reflected in quarterback Mike Wright’s final stat line: 20-for-39, 213 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. “This game was much closer than it had a right to be,” B-Dawg said. “You keep dropping passes, those are drive-killers. I haven’t seen a case of ‘Baylor Pawz’ like that since dem Baylor Bearz came a-callin’ in Mount Pleasant way back when.” The biggest culprit was receiver Chris Pierce, who belied his team-leading 89 CTH rating by dropping four passes. He had seven catches for 77 yards. So, how did the Commodores manage to pull off a bowl victory with so much working against them in the passing game? The run defense was downright beastly, holding the Cardinals to minus-2 yards on 23 carries. Only three sacks factored into that total. Halfback Jalen Mitchell ran into a brick wall all day, gaining only 21 yards on 19 carries. Having outside linebacker Anfernee Orji back from injury definitely helped. Orji was one of six Commodores who had two tackles for losses. When Louisville did pass, Malik Cunningham seemed content to go to checkdowns that were immediately stopped for little or no gain. He was 14-for-21 for 216 yards and two touchdowns, but any CPU quarterback worth his salt has 300 passing yards against Vandy just coming off the bus. Louisville started the game with five three-and-outs. The Commodores were clinging to a 16-14 lead after three quarters before putting it away on a 3-yard touchdown run by Re’Mahn Davis with 1:54 left in the game. Louisville had a chance to take the lead with 7:14 left, but a 52-yard field goal attempt by James Turner was wide left. From there, Vanderbilt put together a methodical 15-play, 57-yard drive that consumed 5:20 off the clock to score the insurance touchdown. “That drive was absolute perfection,” B-Dawg said. “We drained the clock and tacked on another touchdown.” Vanderbilt finished 8-5 in B-Dawg’s first season, a huge contrast to his first season with the Commodores in NCAA 2007. Vanderbilt was only 3-9 that season, failing to earn a bowl berth in B-Dawg’s first three seasons.  Re’Mahn Davis had two short touchdown runs.

2006/2021 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
Alabama beats Texas for national title
Playing a team from the Big XII, where defense is a foreign concept, led to a much different championship game for Alabama. The Crimson Tide, coming off a 10-7 overtime victory over Georgia in the SEC championship game, got its offense rolling in a 48-13 victory over Texas in the BCS championship game. Alabama led 27-6 at halftime and 41-6 through three quarters. Real-life 2021 Heisman winner Bryce Young was 14-for-22 for 261 yards, three touchdowns and one interception for Alabama. His favorite target was Cameron Latu, who caught five passes for 160 yards and a touchdown. Alabama running back Brian Robinson, the 2021 Heisman winner in this dynasty, ran 24 times for 114 yards and a touchdown. Jase McClellan was also effective on the ground, running 16 times for 95 yards. Nobody had more than 16 rushing yards for Texas. Casey Thompson was 16-for-31 for 257 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Joshua Moore caught six passes for 144 yards. 2021 BOWL RESULTS New Mexico Bowl: Appalachian State 27, USC 20 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl: California 31, Ball State 7 Poinsettia Bowl: Mississippi 42, Fresno State 35 Beef O’Brady’s Bowl: Florida Atlantic 28, Washington 0 New Orleans Bowl: Coastal Carolina 31, Florida International 14 Las Vegas Bowl: UNLV 31, UCLA 27 Hawaii Bowl: Wyoming 40, Western Kentucky 37 (OT) Little Caesars Bowl: Iowa 20, Central Michigan 13 (OT) Military Bowl: Western Michigan 27, Brigham Young 20 (OT) Holiday Bowl: Utah 37, Kansas State 21 Belk Bowl: Wake Forest 49, Miami (Ohio) 14 AdvoCare V100 Bowl: Stanford 27, Notre Dame 23 Russell Athletic Bowl: Pittsburgh 35, Tulane 10 Meineke Car Care Bowl: Michigan 33, Troy 21 Armed Forces Bowl: Cincinnati 24, Old Dominion 17 Fight Hunger Bowl: Southern Methodist 38, Colorado 16 Alamo Bowl: Oklahoma 20, Arizona State 0 B-Dubz Bowl: Maryland 14, Texas Christian 7 Music City Bowl: VANDERBILT 23, Louisville 14 Sun Bowl: Oregon State 49, North Carolina State 25 Liberty Bowl: LSU 17, Alabama-Birmingham 3 Chick-fil-A Bowl: Texas A&M 24, Virginia Tech 14 Heart of Dallas Bowl: Ohio 21, Illinois 17 Gator Bowl: Missouri 31, Wisconsin 21 Capital One Bowl: Penn State 23, Florida 22 Outback Bowl: Michigan State 55, Arkansas 38 Rose Bowl: Oregon 31, Nebraska 19 Fiesta Bowl: Ohio State 21, Central Florida 17 Sugar Bowl: North Carolina 30, Nevada 20 Orange Bowl: Clemson 34, Oklahoma State 17 Cotton Bowl: Georgia 40, Baylor 31 BBVA Compass Bowl: Tennessee 37, Louisiana 14 Go Daddy Bowl: South Alabama 27, Kent State 21 (OT) BCS Championship: Alabama 48, Texas 13 FINAL 2021 COACHES’ POLL 1.

(AP) — Louisville finally figured out how to play without star quarterback Brian Brohm, but it was too late. USC got out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, then held off a second-half surge by the Cardinals to win the 2006 national championship with a 38-24 victory. Louisville got within 24-17 on a 1-yard pass from backup quarterback Hunter Cantwell to running back George Stripling with 6:37 left in the third quarter. The teams traded touchdowns before USC put it away on a 24-yard pass from Mark Sanchez to Steve Smith with seven seconds left in the game … which seems like an odd time to be throwing, but that’s what the simmed game summary said. Cantwell finished 23-for-37 for 250 yards, one touchdown and three picks in the absence of Brohm. After the game, it was difficult to find out why Brohm didn’t play, as all injury lists were wiped clean. USC went with two quarterbacks, presumably because Heisman runner-up John David Booty was shaken up during the game. Booty was 12-for-23 for 217 yards and a touchdown, while Sanchez quit sexually harassing co-eds long enough to go 9-for-15 for 90 yards and two scores. Dwayne Jarrett caught eight passes for 137 yards, while Smith caught five for 94 yards and two touchdowns to lead USC. Michael Bush of Louisville ran 27 times for 202 yards. USC finished with a 13-0 record, while Louisville lost for the first time in 13 games. 2006 BOWL GAMES POINSETTIA BOWL: Colorado State 42, North Texas 16 GMAC BOWL: Houston 35, Northern Illinois 14 LAS VEGAS BOWL: UCLA 28, Utah 24 NEW ORLEANS BOWL: Miami (Ohio) 35, Rice 7 FORT WORTH BOWL: Southern Mississippi 21, Texas Christian 17 HAWAII BOWL: Boise State 21, Washington State 9 MOTOR CITY BOWL: Wisconsin 31, Ohio 13 INDEPENDENCE BOWL: Texas A&M 37, Nevada 14 EMERALD BOWL: Clemson 35, Oregon State 3 MPC COMPUTERS BOWL: Boston College 38, Fresno State 31 HOLIDAY BOWL: Oregon 24, Colorado 14 MUSIC CITY BOWL: LSU 36, Virginia Tech 24 SUN BOWL: Arizona State 22, Pittsburgh 14 CHAMPS SPORTS BOWL: N.C.
