Five Great Players - RS Freshman Year

mtaystl03 · 02-09-2004, 12:28 AM

Again, in case you have no idea what this is all about check out the first two installments of "The Five Great Players" dynasty through the following links:

Five Great Players - The Recruiting/2003 seasons
Five Great Players - Freshman Year

We are following the careers of five great players:
QB Larry Bostic - #1 QB, #1 overall prospect - Committed to UCLA
RB Tommy Sherwood - #1 RB, #11 overall prospect - Committed to Stanford
WR Irv Montgomery - #1 WR, #22 overall prospect - Committed to Michigan
DE Erik Manning - #1 DE, #2 overall prospect - Committed to Miami
CB Percy Lyon - #1 CB, #3 overall prospect - Committed to Notre Dame

---
All five of our guys were red-shirted in their first seasons and now we will really get this thing started as they will all be eligible to play.
---
Here is how things have went in the past college football and NFL seasons:

NFL
Super Bowl Champs:
XXXVIII: Tennessee Titans (over Philadelphia Eagles)
XXXIV: Tennessee Titans (over Philadelphia Eagles) in OT

NFL MVP:
2003: Peyton Manning, IND
2004: Donovan McNabb, PHI

College Football
National Champions:
2003: Tennessee Volunteers (over Michigan Wolverines)
2004: Georgia Bulldogs (over Florida State Seminoles)

Heisman Trophy Winners:
2003: Derek Rice, RB, Florida State (taken in the 2nd round by Chicago Bears)
2004: Tyrell Phillips, WR, Georgia*
*Tyrell still has 2 years of eligibility left!

--
Our guys now face the challege of the college football world. Some will see a lot of time, some will spend the entire season buried deep in the depth chart. We will take our first steps too see if, in fact, we are dealing with "five great players" or not!

Next up: Positional battle outlook for all five guys.

Situations going into red-shirt freshman years:

First let's visit QB Larry Bostic. Larry was the #1 overall recruit and spent his entire freshman year sitting on the sidelines watching his Bruins battle their way to an 10-2 season, culminating in a 31-30 win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl.

The UCLA staff has high hopes for the next four years for this young man. Larry is the favorite to have the starting position this season. His only threat would be RS Senior Roderick Parliaman. Parliaman would have two years remaining at UCLA and may look to transfer if he doesn't start over Bostic this year.

Last year UCLA split time between Tom Welch and Roderick Fulton. Both Seniors and now gone. Welch wasn't drafted and is still looking for work in the free agent market. Meanwhile, Fulton went undrafted but was signed to a league minimum deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

At this time last year we mentioned a guy by the name of Bruce Strickland who was a red-shirt sophomore who seemed to have a lot of potential. The UCLA coaches haven't been too impressed with his progression over the past year and off-season and I don't see him challenging our guy Bostic.

Bostic was always known as a braniac out of high school, one of the reasons he chose UCLA. He managed a perfect 4.00 GPA in his freshman year and is still with his girlfriend Mandy. He is pretty happy there and should contribute a lot to this Bruin team this year! Yahoo!

UCLA has been givin a ranking of #13 to start the season and Bostic is looking to vastly improve on that ranking as the season progresses.

----------

Now lets take a look at running back Tommy Sherwood who spent his freshman year on the sidelines and learning from him mentor Ronald Marincic who finished 5 in the Heisman trophy balloting and now plays for the New York Jets (drafted in the 1st round, 27th overall).

Marincic, along with fellow seniors Barry Lutz and Tony Nichols left and now the job belongs solely to Mr. Sherwood! There isn't much competition for the job and the Stanford staff is very impressed with the shape that Tommy has come in and should be an impact maker in his first action!

Tommy's personal life isn't exactly going so well. He still hasn't managed any luck from the ladies (no girlfriend) and is apparenly not very happy at Stanford. He managed a 3.06 GPA in his first year at a very tough institution. Maybe getting to play a lot this year will help that happiness rating (at 11 right now

) go up a little.

The Cardinal are ranked #34 in the coaches' poll to start 2004.

----------

Next up is wide receiver Irv Montgomery. Another guy that didn't play a down in 2004 and watched his Michigan squad have a great season, going 11-1 and winning over USC 45-0! The Wolves were front-runners to win it all until they lost to Penn State 21-13. That one loss ended all hopes for the 2nd strait year.

Irv was behind a couple good players at the wide reciever position, including Junior Ben Ellard and RS Senior Brenden Nygaard, both back for more this season. Ellard started 9 games (hurt for a couple) and managed 35 receptions for 627 yards and 13 TD's, while Nygaard started just three (playing in all 12) and hauling in 32 passes for 741 yards and 8 scores. QB Brian Swift is back for the Wolverines this season as our Irv will be looking to become the top target for the red-shirt sophomore QB.

Irv did a nice job in the classroom in '03 accumulating a 3.20 GPA and is happy (53) there. No girlfriend yet but that may be a good thing as he tries to keep his focus on the football and the books! Should be a fun season to see if he can make a large impact on a team that is looking for a national championship this season.

His Wolverines are ranked #1 to start the season for the 2nd time in as many years!

----------

Now on to the defensive side of the ball and we will start with our defensive end Erik Manning a member of the Miami Hurricanes. Manning, along with fellow freshman stud Riddick Hutt spent the season red-shirted. It is believed that these two players could develop into the most feared end tandem in the nation.

Seniors Chuck Gerhardt, Paul Solomon and Kelly Watcher have all parted ways and Hunt, Manning and junior Fred Wuerfell will see majority of the action. Hunt is almost guaranteed to start all the games and Manning may have to work pretty darn hard to unseat Wuerfell who managed 2.5 sacks in limited action last season. Gerhardt and Solomon are hoping to catch on with NFL teams while Watcher has moved on into his career in dentistry.

One thing that could be a concern for Manning and Miami coaches are his academics. Manning managed just a 1.80 GPA getting a D- and a D+ in two of his classes. He isn't the most intelligent person in the world and his professors have mentioned to the coaching staff that his aspiration is "lousy" and they rated him a 13 on a scale of 100. He is happy (55/100) and is still with his girlfriend, Chastity, who obviously doesn't help him too much with his school work.

Should be an interesting year as his Hurricanes are ranked #3 to start the season.

----------

And last but certainly not least, Notre Dame CB Percy Lyon. Lyon was on the sidelines for the entire Irish season, one in which they went 10-2 and declined to play in a smaller bowl.

Percy, from the beginning wasn't in a great situation as both starters had multiple years left playing. RS Senior Robbie Morrison started in all of the games and managed 27 tackles and 4 interceptions on the year. RS Junior Roderick Jennings was injured after the fourth game and he already had 3 INT. Fellow freshman Percy Walters should also see some time this season. He could win a starting spot in camp (unlikely) and will most likely be a dime or nickle CB and make an impact as much as he can.

Percy is extremely happy at Notre Dame. He managed to scrape together a 3.24 GPA as that tough institution and after dumping his old flame Farrah for a new and much better looking Yvonne he is looking even happier in South Bend!

His Fighting Irish are ranked #11 to start the season!

----------
Thats the situations. Bostic, Sherwood, Montgomery and Manning should see some nice time and Lyon can make a contribution all with 4 years of eligibility remaining. Should be some great careers to follow!

NCAA Game Spotlights: Week One

#1 Michigan 27, #19 Washington 0
How about this one! The top ranked Wolves leave no doubt in the minds of pollsters that they want to stay there this year. They go into a top 20 schools house and not only win, they dominate the Huskies in Seattle. Our Irv Montgomery had a successful debut as he caught 2 passes for 44 yards in the game. WR Ben Ellard stole the show with 3 catches for 80 yards and 2 TD's. It's good to see Monte establishing himself as a top two threat for QB Brian Swift.

#3 Miami 56, Utah State 14
So the Hurricanes keep their unbeaten streak alive with the win over Utah State. Our Erik Manning didn't do much although he did start the game. His partner in crime Riddick Hutt had a HUGE day with 4 tackles and 3.0 sacks! Manning had just one blocked pass on the day while the Hurricanes move to 1-0.

The Irish start fast against a faltering Michigan State program. Our DB Percy Lyon doesn't start the game but makes a solid contribution to the team with 2 tackles and an assist. He was involved in 6 pass plays and gave up 2 catches but not a bad first appearance for him. Again, the Irish start very strong and could move up in the rankings.

#32 Stanford 49, Arkansas State 0
This was without a doubt the biggest game for us to follow as our RB Tommy Sherwood is making his first collegiate start! On his first carry and the Cardinal's first play from scrimmage he carried the ball for 3 yards. On his 2nd carry he broke through for 22 more! He also scored his first touchdown on that first drive from 11 yards out!! He ended up with 28 carries for 150 yards and 2 scores and added 2 catches out of the backfield for 25 yards. A great start for Tommy against a pretty weak squad. He was named one of the many players of the week for week one! Good start for Tommy.

Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics
1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD.

Lyon, prepare to get burnt. Montgomery and UM will go into South Bend and put a whooping on ND. Also, I don't see Sherwood staying for 4 years.

Grid Iron · 02-10-2004, 04:52 PM

This dynasty has got to be an early favorite for next year's Golden Scribe Awards!

Keep up the great work!

mtaystl03 · 02-10-2004, 05:55 PM

Kingfc22- Yeah, that is going to be a good one. Im about to sim it. As for Sherwood, he is already a great talent but Im not too familiar with TCY as far as guys leaving early. I know those two Georgia guys including the heisman trophy winner Tyrell Phillips decided to stay. How often do studs leave early?

Grid Iron- Wow. Thanks for the nice comments!

Thanks for reading guys.

NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Two

#1 Michigan 22, #6 Notre Dame 16 - 2 OT

What a game this turned out to be. Both teams deserved to win it but in the end the Wolverines win the game and move to 2-0. The game started with an 80-yard touchdown run by Michigan's Nolan Douglass. After that the defenses took over and Notre Dame tied it up with 1:23 left in the game at 13. Both teams came up with Field goals in the first OT. In the second Notre Dame went first and didnt have confidence in their kicker from 50 yards out and went for it. They didn't get it and Michigan's Brian Swift found RB Benson for the winning TD. It was a great game. Unfortunately, both Percy Lyon and Irv Montgomery didn't do anything in the game.

Irv Montgomery weekly statistics
1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD.
2 - @ #6 Notre Dame (W, 22-16) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD.

#2 Miami 56, San Jose State 7
The Miami Hurricanes win again but it was to a weak opponent. The Hurricanes need to start playing some tougher opponents if they want their unbeaten seasons to get them into a national championship. DE Erik Manning starts the game and has one tackle and an assist in the game. He also hurried the QB once. Riddick Hutt cooled down and managed just one assist on the day.

#9 Stanford 45, San Jose State 9
Our great RB Tommy Sherwood had another amazing day! He gained 205 yards on 24 carries and scored THREE times, running his season total to five already! His scores were from 67, 8 and 1 yards out. He does it again against a below average run defense but nonetheless this guy is turning out to be pretty good! Stanford falls in the rankings because of the weak first opponents but our Sherwood is among the nations leaders in rushing (3rd in yards and 2nd in TD's). He was among the players of the week once again.

Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics
1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD.
2 - vs San Jose State (W, 45-9) - 24-205 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD.

Notre Dame falls to #42 which is way harsh and they will be back in the top 10 by seasons end, mark my words.

UCLA, with two weeks off is now #64. They will shoot right up after their first game, and win.

NEXT WEEK:
#2 Miami vs. #50 Washington
#19 Stanford vs. Eastern Michigan
--Another game for Tommy to up his rushing numbers!--
UCLA vs. #6 Ohio State
--A tough way for a freshman to start but our QB Larry Bostic has his opportunity next week!--

Michigan is idle as they prepare for #8 Oklahoma in week 4.
Notre Dame is off as well and they get ready to travel to #16 Purdue in 2 weeks.

NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Three

UCLA 31, #6 Ohio State 21
In a sudden and disappointing change of plans the UCLA coaching staff has made the decision that our Larry Bostic isn't fit to start as a red-shirt freshman and gave the nod to Senior Roderick Parliaman. It might not be all bad for Larry to learn for a year behind the senior Parliaman who had a nice game in a huge situation as the Bruins beat the #6 Ohio State Buckeyes 31-21. Parliaman was 16-for-23 for 206 yards and 2 TD's. Very efficient. He was awarded as one of the players of the week.

#2 Miami 38, #50 Washington 13
The Hurricanes win again as our Erik Manning had two tackles in the game. The Canes keep rollin' along and they keep winning and could have a shot at a National Championship this season. This is a quality road win for them and Manning still without a sack is still in the starting lineup, which is good.

#19 Stanford 80, Eastern Michigan 7
When I saw this score I almost puked! 80 points, Tommy had to of had a HUGE day. In fact he only played one half of the game and had just 12 carries for 82 yards and 3 TDs! Again, a nice day. Could've been huge. The backup Kurt Mathews had 26 for 99 and a score. Big win for the Cardinal but they don't move up in the rankings. Sherwood was a player of the week for the 3rd strait week and now 4th in yards and has the most rushing TD's of any player in the nation!

Whoever is scheduling UM's games needs to be fired. It's nice and good to play top teams early, but don't blow the chance at the title before the Big 10 begins play. The conference schedule is tough by itself.

The scheduler doesn't need to be fired; he needs to be taken out back and shot. The team starts the year at #19, then at #6, and now home against #6? Five other Big Ten teams are currently ranked in the Top 25. Talk about strength of schedule!

Go Blue!

mtaystl03 · 02-11-2004, 11:27 AM

Yeah, what are they thinking? They had an extremely tough schedule last year and one loss killed them. Like you said the Big 10 is tough enough.

Stanford : 174 First three opponents : 16

Can you say dominating?

mtaystl03 · 02-11-2004, 08:36 PM

They haven't exactly played the toughest opponents but I agree thats pretty dominating. Next update later tonight.

NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Four

#1 Michigan 37, #6 Oklahoma 7
The Wolverines keep on rolling as they accept the challenge and beat the Sooners 37-7. Our Irv Montgomery didn't do much in the game. In fact he was only targeted once and he dropped the ball. Not so good. The good thing is that his team continues to win games.

#13 Purdue 26, Notre Dame 23
Notre Dame loses this one in OT. A great game by both teams again but Notre Dame is on the losing end of an overtime game for the second strait week. Our Percy Lyon didn't get in the game. The Irish had the ball first in OT and kicked a field goal. They were buried when Purdue got a 3-yard scamper from their tailback. Pretty frusterating so far for the Irish and Percy.

#8 UCLA 73, Northern Illinois 00
Dominating performance by the Bruins and starting quarterback Roderick Parliaman who was 13-for-16 with 166 yards passing and 3 TD (0 INT) before being taken out. Our Larry Bostic made his first appearance with the Bruins up 45-0 in the 2nd quarter and with 10:34 left in the half Bostic came in for one drive and was a perfect 1-for-1, hooking up with TE Brady Vincent for 22 yards. That pass was in between a couple 9 yard runs. He was taken out for RS Junior Bruce Strickland who had a nice day as well going 8-11 for 94 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT. Just dominating and we get our first look at Bostic!

NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Five

#1 Michigan 46, #42 Illinois 00
Michigan will get my official bet for this years national champion! They are just dominating and remember I predicted the Georgia title run last year.

He also had 3 receptions for 26 yards in the game. This game puts him in 8th place in the nation in rushing yards and tied for 2nd in touchdowns with 9.

Oregon 53, UCLA 51 - 6 OT
A disappointing loss for the Bruins as they fall for the 1st time this season in an amazingly exciting game that featured 6 overtimes and in the end it was UCLA FB Vince Janto's inability to get in for the 2 point conversion that lost it for the Bruins.

I'm impressed with the work you're putting into this, and keeping it going. Most dynasties would have died off by now! Keep up the good work.

Looks like Tommy might want to sue the NFL to be able to be drafted early.

mtaystl03 · 02-17-2004, 08:10 AM

AdmiralACF - thanks for the kind words. I am having a lot of fun with this and I want to keep it going! It helps when I know people are reading and interested, like yourself. As for Tommy, things are lookin' good!

NCAA Week Seven Game Spotlights

#1 Michigan 21 vs #17 Wisconsin 14
Irv Montgomery has been non-existent for 4 weeks and almost three full quarters of this one but he showed up with a bang! With the Wolverines down 14-13, Irv came up with a huge 78-yard touchdown reception!! QB Brian Swift was uncharacteristically bad in this one. He was just 12 of 26 for 279 yards, 1 TD and 4 interceptions. That says a lot about this Michigan team when they can play this bad and find a way to still win the game.

The Hurricanes get a nice win at home over the Mountaineers. DE Erik Manning started his sixth game of the season but only recorded one assist. Disappointing. At least that one assist was behind the line of scrimmage. Just looking for positives so far this season for Erik. The 'Canes lose a spot in the rankings despite the quality win over a top 25 team.

#14 Stanford 52 vs. Oregon State 20
Tommy Sherwood is amazing! On this day he leads the Cardinal with 25 carries for 128 yards (5.8 average) and two more touchdowns! He had a long run of 27 yards and even caught one pass for seven yards and scored on that play! Mr. Sherwood is now ranked 5th among rushers in yards and 3rd in touchdowns in the whole nation, as a red-shirt freshman. Just a great start. Next week he has a real test against one of our other teams, UCLA. Should be fun. He was again named a NCAA player of the week. The Cardinal are now ranked #12 in the nation.

Arizona State 7 @ #20 UCLA 45
The Bruins roll over the Sun Devils at home and now prepare for our Tommy Sherwood and the #12 Stanford Cardinal. Starting QB Roderick Parliaman had a nice day going 16-21 for 213 yards and 3 TD's to 1 INT. Our guy Larry Bostic got into the game at the end and would rather forget it happened. He was 0-for-3 and threw a pick. He did run the ball (which seems to be his forte) 3 times for 46 yards in his limited action. UCLA jumps from #20 to #14 with the win.

NCAA Week Eight Game Spotlights

#9 Iowa 7 @ #1 Michigan 33

The Wolverines keep that #1 ranking with a big 33-7 victory over a top ten team in Iowa. Irv Montgomery decided not to show up for this one but made the most of his one rush on the day picking up 21 yards! No catches and he wasn't even targeted. QB Brian Swift came back to his normal self going 15-of-23 for 177 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. He added 16 rushes for 43 yards. Senior wideout Ben Ellard stole the show again with 6 catches for 104 yards and 2 TD's. Hopefully our boy Irv is looking up to and learning from this Ellard guy.

#14 UCLA 33 @ #12 Stanford 14

The Bruins come up huge and hand Stanford thier first loss of the season. UCLA is the first team to figure out our stud running back Tommy Sherwood who was held to just 16 carries for 66 yards and no scores. The Cardinal were forced to pass late in the game and abandoned the running game looking to close the gap. Sherwood did score the first touchdown of the game as he caught a 10 yards touchdown pass to put the Cardinal on top but the couldn't hold the advantage. Our UCLA QB Larry Bostic got some more mop up time and completed one of one passes for 10 yards and ran once of -1 yard. The Bruins were led by RB Rodney Tucker, who is having a nice season, with 130 yards and a couple of touchdowns. This is the first week Tommy was held under 100 yards, didn't score a rushing TD. He did, however, still get a player of the week award.

#28 Notre Dame 55 @ Troy State 7

The Irish continue to climb their way back into things and with this blitzing of Troy State the club moves into the top 25 at #22. Our guy CB Percy Lyon is making a solid contribution to the team despite being the #4 defensive back. He manages 2 tackles and one was for a loss in the game. He was involved in 12 run plays and 13 pass plays which is the most this season for him. ND was lead by their stellar quarterback Joel Johnson who was 14-of-17 for 220 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. Good win for the Irish and welcome back to the top 25. All five teams are there now.

#6 Miami 35 @ Temple 30

The Temple Owls were that close to catching the mighty Hurricanes looking ahead. Erik Manning and crew gave up 30 points to a weak offense but managed to keep the victory. Manning didn't do much after starting his seventh game this season and managing only one measley tackle and a hurry of the quarterback. Meanwhile, fellow red-shirt freshman Riddick Hutt had 2.0, giving him 5.0 and Junior Fred Wuerffel managed 3.0 and now has 8.0! I wonder how Erik is still getting starts. He won't unless he picks up his game. The Hurricanes move back to #5 in the coaches poll. Where will they be in the all important BCS?

So Michigan is #1 and Florida State #2. They are running away with it at this point. They could probably lose a game and still be up there. Miami is up there at #3 and UCLA (ranked 10th by the coaches) is #4! 3 in the top 4...not bad.

NCAA Week Nine Game Spotlights

17 Stanford 29 @ #19 Oregon 42

The Cardinal defense lets up and the Ducks blitz them for 42 points. Tommy Sherwood had his worst day of his career with 23 carries for 100 yards and no scores. He added 2 catches for 24 yards and didn't score in that dept. either. It's pretty good when we are in week nine and it is the first time he has gone a whole game without a score and wasn't named player of the week all season. He continues a good season but the Cardinal have lost two strait and fall out of the top 25. Tommy is now ranked 4th in the nation in yards (1,060) and tied for 4th in TD's with 14! Still awesome.

Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics:

#1 Michigan 41 @ Minnesota 10

The Wolverines (again, my pick for this years national champ!) wins again on the road over the Golden Gophers. QB Brian Swift had another nice game but didn't find our Irv Montgomery. Swift was 18-for-27 for 235 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. He found his favorite target Ben Ellard six more times for 111 yards and a TD. Junior tight end Max Skidmore caught 3 passes for 32 yards and the other two touchdowns. Irv, who we could say has been a disappointment this season, was targeted twice but Swift just couldn't get him the ball either time.

Defensive Player of the Week: DE Jason Kozhin (New Mexico) : 6 tackles (1 assist), 5.0 sacks.

**Continuing to follow the amazing story of Virginia Tech runningback Matthew Vanden Bosch, he had another day with 43 carries for 258 more yards and a TD. He now has 1,481 yards (1st) and 19 TD (1st) in just seven games! The 2nd place guy is Kansas State's Randy Levine who has 1,434 and has played one more game than Vanden Bosch. Ohio State's Ray Wiggins is the only guy with a chance at catching him with a solid 1,317 and seven games played with 14 TD's. Can you say Heisman?

**Another developing story. It seems some of our recognizable quarterbacks are having nice seasons. Roderick Parliaman, leading the UCLA Bruins and the mentor of our QB Larry Bostic is ranked 2nd in the nation with a 181.6 passer rating. Notre Dame's Joel Johnson is 3rd with 180.7 and Stanford's QB Erik Cunningham is being overshadowed by teammate Tommy Sherwood but is ranked 6th with a 173.6.

Our boy Larry Bostic got into the fun again and did a nice job going 4-for-8 with 65 yards and 1 TD and NO picks. He found WR Zach Robinson from 36 yards out with 9:04 left in the fourth quarter. He played the whole quarter after Parliman did his thing in the first three.

#4 Miami 52 @ Syracuse 7

The Miami Hurricanes weak schedule will keep them from winning a national championship, well, that and their one loss to Boston College. They are very good. Erik Manning had his best game yet with 6 tackles and his first collegiate sack!! It is quite clear that Manning is a run stopping defensive end. On the other end of the line Riddick Hutt, his fellow froshie is the guy getting the sacks. He had 2.5 more in this one, giving him 9 on the season.

Blade - Thanks. Glad I can contribute to your ignorance in math class! I would do the same thing. Get caught up.

Noop - I bet you are pissed your Seminoles were left out of the top 2 in the BCS!? They should be there in the end. We'll see.

Thanks for reading guys.

kingfc22 · 02-25-2004, 12:00 AM

UM all the way baby.

Blade6119 · 02-25-2004, 12:16 AM

GO MIZZOU!

mtaystl03 · 02-25-2004, 12:56 AM

I dont have enough energy to do a full sim tonight so I figured I would take some time to look at other things.

First of all let's take a look at the final opponents for the top four teams in the BCS. We have three of them so one of our guys has a good chance of winning it all this year.

#1 Michigan Wolverines
> week 13 : @ #22 Penn State
> week 14 : @ #23 Ohio State

I wouldn't say the Wolves have it easy here. Penn State upset them last year to end their run and they could do it again. Then they have to go to Ohio State who would absolutely LOVE to end their chances this season.

#2 UCLA Bruins
> week 12: vs. Oregon State
> week 13: vs. #14 USC

The first one should be a cake walk for Roderick Parliman and the Bruins but then they host the USC Trojans that could decide their fate!

#3 Florida State Seminoles
> week 12: vs. #30 Maryland
> week 13: @ #49 North Carolina State
> week 14: vs. #20 Florida

The Noles shouldn't have too much trouble with the first two of these opponents but that game against Florida could kill them. UCLA has one loss and if Florida State wins all three of these games I could see them in the national championship game.

#4 Miami Hurricanes
> week 12: @ #31 Pittsburgh
> week 13: vs. #19 Virginia Tech

A couple of tough ones for Erik Manning and the Miami team whose strength of schedule has killed them almost as much as the loss to Boston College. They would probably be around the same place without that loss, but who knows. They will have a strong case if they can stop Va Tech's Matthew Vanden Bosch from running wild on them! Ahem...Erik...do your job!

------------------------------------------------

Let's take a close look at the amazing numbers put up by Virginia Tech's phenomenal running back Matthew Vanden Bosch. Matt is a Junior from Richmond, VA and is, well, amazing. Here is a look at freshman, sophomore and this year so far:

Code:

Year    Team                GS    Att     Yards       Avg      TD
2003    Virginia Tech       11     291     1,481       5.0      16  
2004    Virginia Tech       10     253     1,450       5.7      17
2005    Virginia Tech       9      275     1,879       6.8      24

Pretty amazing. This guy will win the Heisman (or should) running away! He has added 26 receptions for 375 yards and six TD's (one TD his first two seasons). The 2nd place guy is Ohio State's Ray Wiggins with 1,524 and the 2nd guy in touchdowns is Maryland RB Irv Stevens with 18! Now you may ask who holds the single-season rushing records for this universe?

As of right now he is 4th in yards behind Allen Bernstein (Ohio State) 2,081 , Joe Applin (Arkansas) 1,972 and Ronald Marincic (Stanford) 1,964.

He is tied for 2nd already in TD's with 24 behind just Joe Applin (Arkansas) who has 25. 1st overall pick Ike Barton (Colorado State) also had 24 in 2004.

He needs just 202 yards to get first place. I would be surprised if he didn't get that in his next game. His final two games of the season are against our Erik Manning and #4 Miami (17th against the run) and Virginia (56th against the run). Should be fun to follow this guy as well.

Just to add to this...Since we started this universe which is almost three years old now he holds the following career records: Rushing attempts, Rushing yards, Rushing Touchdowns, All-Purpose Yards and Total Touchdowns scored. Nobody is even close in any of them.

Blade6119 · 02-25-2004, 01:10 AM

Two things after reading everything...did Allen Bernstein(RB from ohio state who is only 2,000+ rushing season right now) ever get drafted...i couldnt find his name on the list despite finishing second in the heisman voting last year...

Second, about maybe Sherwood is the guy to go after Vanden Bosch...hes doing better right now then Bosch did as a frosh(but less carries)...hopefully sherwood will challenge this lofty goal!

mtaystl03 · 02-25-2004, 09:05 AM

Blade- Thanks for the good questions. The reason you didn't find Allen Bernstein on the draft transcript is because he wasn't drafted!? I guess he just doesn't fit the mold of the NFL back. Finishing 2nd in the heisman should guarantee something. He was picked up by the Oakland Raiders after the draft and was released soon after. He has decent ratings and should catch on somewhere. I will keep an eye on that.

Secondly, I don't see our Tommy Sherwood getting to that point, although he definately could! He has 1,104 rush yards this season and 14 TD. He also has 157 receiving yards and two more scores. He could match Vanden Bosch's 1st year marks with 377 yards and two TD's in his final two games. He could also make up for some of that in the following years and Matt's 2nd season wasn't too much better than his first.

What's scary is Matt is only a Junior and has one more year to tear things up (if he doesn't leave) and I get the impression that not too many people leave early in TCY. Anyway that would be fun to follow as Tommy's career develops. We definately need him to stay healthy!

Another sim coming soon...

Blade6119 · 02-25-2004, 09:58 AM

well, matt did miss only play 10 games his sophmore year, assuming that he was inured shortly...and thats too bad about berstein...if you run for 2,000 yards i would think you would get a better look in the pros...

NCAA Week Twelve Game Spotlights

UPSET SATURDAY

#4 Miami 29 @ #31 Pittsburgh 39

The Hurricanes bite the dust for the 2nd time this season and this time at the hands of Big East rival Pittsburgh Panthers. Pitt jumped out to a lead and blitzed the Canes all day long and got out of there with a win. That will officially end any thought of Miami sneaking into the National Championship game. They fall to #10 in the coaches poll with the loss. As for Erik Manning he mananged four tackles in the game.

#1 Michigan 21 @ #23 Penn State 22

In a sudden change of events the Wolverines perfect season comes to an end at the hands of the Nittany Lions, again. Is this one loss enough to knock Michigan out of the race for the National Championship? We will find out.

With 5:14 left in the 4th quarter and Michigan up 21-13, Penn State halfback Dave Bohannan returned a punt 95 yards!! The Lions went for the tie and the Wolves held strong. So 21-19 with 5 left. The Lions got a stop and with :04 left on the clock, kicker Harvey Lang delivered the punishing blow from 52 yards out to put State up 22-21! What a game it was.

Irv Montgomery was targeted twice, he caught one for 9 yards and dropped the other one.

The loss didn't hurt them in the coaches' poll they are still #1.

#35 Stanford 20 @ #14 USC 17

The Cardinal come back in strong form and win at USC!! Our Tommy Sherwood was tired of losing and tired of getting shut down. Today he has 32 carries for 186 yards, no TD's but did catch two more balls for 22 yards and scored the games first TD on a 11 yard toss from QB Erik Cunningham. It is a proven fact that if Stanford is in a position to give Sherwood the ball 25+ times they will win the game. Add another player of the week to his list and the Cardinal move up 5 spots to #30.

Tommy now needs 191 yards in his final game to match Matthew Vanden Bosch's yards totals from his first season.

Oregon State 00 @ #10 UCLA 52

While all the other teams were losing the Bruins just killed the Beavers. Roderick Parliman had an amazing game going 26-for-35 for 356 yards, SIX (6) TD's and ZERO (0) interceptions! Wow. That puts him at #1 in passer rating with 193.1! Larry Bostic didn't get in on this one as UCLA is looking to keep that #2 spot and a Florida State loss would help them out, but they are playing Maryland so that is a long shot.

Defensive Player of the Week: DE Jeffrey Jordan (Kent) : 5 tackles, 5 assists, 4.5 sacks.

*So, three of the four teams in the top four of the BCS lose! That will be a mess. There are no undefeated teams at top the rankings.

**Where has Lee Tubbs been? Remember last year when he finished 3rd in the Heisman and led the Bulldogs to a National Championship. How about WR Tyrell Phillips who won the Heisman, how did he do in this game. He had 130 yards and 2 TD's. He played second fiddle to other WR Donnie Wadley who caught FIVE TD passes in the game!

>>Our two Michigan and UCLA are still up there at #1 and #2. They are tied for #1 and Oklahoma is the only team that is really that close. Florida State is just about out of it and Nebraska has a lot to make up. Keep in mind the Cornhuskers still have the Big 12 Championship game against Oklahoma (#3 BCS) or Texas (#9 BCS). That could have some impact. The Sooners beat the Huskers 13-10 at Nebraska earlier this season and Nebraska has to go to #29 Colorado while the Sooners have Oklahoma State at home left. If UCLA and Michigan win their final games we will have a guaranteed Champion!

NEXT WEEK:
#1 Michigan @ #22 Ohio State - Well, Penn State did their jobs by beating them and now the Buckeyes can officially eliminate them with a win over them now. That would be huge.

#10 Miami vs. #19 Virginia Tech - The Canes are out of it but this would be a nice win and they get a chance to shut down Matt Vanden Bosch (good luck).

#24 Notre Dame vs. #21 USC - A solid game that should be fun to watch. Little bearing on anything bowl related.

#30 Stanford - Idle
#8 UCLA - Idle

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	I dont have enough energy to do a full sim tonight so I figured I would take some time to look at other things. First of all let's take a look at the final opponents for the top four teams in the BCS. We have three of them so one of our guys has a good chance of winning it all this year. #1 Michigan Wolverines > week 13 : @ #22 Penn State > week 14 : @ #23 Ohio State I wouldn't say the Wolves have it easy here. Penn State upset them last year to end their run and they could do it again. Then they have to go to Ohio State who would absolutely LOVE to end their chances this season. #2 UCLA Bruins > week 12: vs. Oregon State > week 13: vs. #14 USC The first one should be a cake walk for Roderick Parliman and the Bruins but then they host the USC Trojans that could decide their fate! #3 Florida State Seminoles > week 12: vs. #30 Maryland > week 13: @ #49 North Carolina State > week 14: vs. #20 Florida The Noles shouldn't have too much trouble with the first two of these opponents but that game against Florida could kill them. UCLA has one loss and if Florida State wins all three of these games I could see them in the national championship game. #4 Miami Hurricanes > week 12: @ #31 Pittsburgh > week 13: vs. #19 Virginia Tech A couple of tough ones for Erik Manning and the Miami team whose strength of schedule has killed them almost as much as the loss to Boston College. They would probably be around the same place without that loss, but who knows. They will have a strong case if they can stop Va Tech's Matthew Vanden Bosch from running wild on them! Ahem...Erik...do your job! ------------------------------------------------ Let's take a close look at the amazing numbers put up by Virginia Tech's phenomenal running back Matthew Vanden Bosch. Matt is a Junior from Richmond, VA and is, well, amazing. Here is a look at freshman, sophomore and this year so far: Code: Year Team GS Att Yards Avg TD 2003 Virginia Tech 11 291 1,481 5.0 16 2004 Virginia Tech 10 253 1,450 5.7 17 2005 Virginia Tech 9 275 1,879 6.8 24 Pretty amazing. This guy will win the Heisman (or should) running away! He has added 26 receptions for 375 yards and six TD's (one TD his first two seasons). The 2nd place guy is Ohio State's Ray Wiggins with 1,524 and the 2nd guy in touchdowns is Maryland RB Irv Stevens with 18! Now you may ask who holds the single-season rushing records for this universe? As of right now he is 4th in yards behind Allen Bernstein (Ohio State) 2,081 , Joe Applin (Arkansas) 1,972 and Ronald Marincic (Stanford) 1,964. He is tied for 2nd already in TD's with 24 behind just Joe Applin (Arkansas) who has 25. 1st overall pick Ike Barton (Colorado State) also had 24 in 2004. He needs just 202 yards to get first place. I would be surprised if he didn't get that in his next game. His final two games of the season are against our Erik Manning and #4 Miami (17th against the run) and Virginia (56th against the run). Should be fun to follow this guy as well. Just to add to this...Since we started this universe which is almost three years old now he holds the following career records: Rushing attempts, Rushing yards, Rushing Touchdowns, All-Purpose Yards and Total Touchdowns scored. Nobody is even close in any of them. __________________ Go STL Sports! Last edited by mtaystl03 : 02-25-2004 at 01:02 AM.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	Situations going into red-shirt freshman years: First let's visit QB Larry Bostic. Larry was the #1 overall recruit and spent his entire freshman year sitting on the sidelines watching his Bruins battle their way to an 10-2 season, culminating in a 31-30 win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl. The UCLA staff has high hopes for the next four years for this young man. Larry is the favorite to have the starting position this season. His only threat would be RS Senior Roderick Parliaman. Parliaman would have two years remaining at UCLA and may look to transfer if he doesn't start over Bostic this year. Last year UCLA split time between Tom Welch and Roderick Fulton. Both Seniors and now gone. Welch wasn't drafted and is still looking for work in the free agent market. Meanwhile, Fulton went undrafted but was signed to a league minimum deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At this time last year we mentioned a guy by the name of Bruce Strickland who was a red-shirt sophomore who seemed to have a lot of potential. The UCLA coaches haven't been too impressed with his progression over the past year and off-season and I don't see him challenging our guy Bostic. Bostic was always known as a braniac out of high school, one of the reasons he chose UCLA. He managed a perfect 4.00 GPA in his freshman year and is still with his girlfriend Mandy. He is pretty happy there and should contribute a lot to this Bruin team this year! Yahoo! UCLA has been givin a ranking of #13 to start the season and Bostic is looking to vastly improve on that ranking as the season progresses. ---------- Now lets take a look at running back Tommy Sherwood who spent his freshman year on the sidelines and learning from him mentor Ronald Marincic who finished 5 in the Heisman trophy balloting and now plays for the New York Jets (drafted in the 1st round, 27th overall). Marincic, along with fellow seniors Barry Lutz and Tony Nichols left and now the job belongs solely to Mr. Sherwood! There isn't much competition for the job and the Stanford staff is very impressed with the shape that Tommy has come in and should be an impact maker in his first action! Tommy's personal life isn't exactly going so well. He still hasn't managed any luck from the ladies (no girlfriend) and is apparenly not very happy at Stanford. He managed a 3.06 GPA in his first year at a very tough institution. Maybe getting to play a lot this year will help that happiness rating (at 11 right now ) go up a little. The Cardinal are ranked #34 in the coaches' poll to start 2004. ---------- Next up is wide receiver Irv Montgomery. Another guy that didn't play a down in 2004 and watched his Michigan squad have a great season, going 11-1 and winning over USC 45-0! The Wolves were front-runners to win it all until they lost to Penn State 21-13. That one loss ended all hopes for the 2nd strait year. Irv was behind a couple good players at the wide reciever position, including Junior Ben Ellard and RS Senior Brenden Nygaard, both back for more this season. Ellard started 9 games (hurt for a couple) and managed 35 receptions for 627 yards and 13 TD's, while Nygaard started just three (playing in all 12) and hauling in 32 passes for 741 yards and 8 scores. QB Brian Swift is back for the Wolverines this season as our Irv will be looking to become the top target for the red-shirt sophomore QB. Irv did a nice job in the classroom in '03 accumulating a 3.20 GPA and is happy (53) there. No girlfriend yet but that may be a good thing as he tries to keep his focus on the football and the books! Should be a fun season to see if he can make a large impact on a team that is looking for a national championship this season. His Wolverines are ranked #1 to start the season for the 2nd time in as many years! ---------- Now on to the defensive side of the ball and we will start with our defensive end Erik Manning a member of the Miami Hurricanes. Manning, along with fellow freshman stud Riddick Hutt spent the season red-shirted. It is believed that these two players could develop into the most feared end tandem in the nation. Seniors Chuck Gerhardt, Paul Solomon and Kelly Watcher have all parted ways and Hunt, Manning and junior Fred Wuerfell will see majority of the action. Hunt is almost guaranteed to start all the games and Manning may have to work pretty darn hard to unseat Wuerfell who managed 2.5 sacks in limited action last season. Gerhardt and Solomon are hoping to catch on with NFL teams while Watcher has moved on into his career in dentistry. One thing that could be a concern for Manning and Miami coaches are his academics. Manning managed just a 1.80 GPA getting a D- and a D+ in two of his classes. He isn't the most intelligent person in the world and his professors have mentioned to the coaching staff that his aspiration is "lousy" and they rated him a 13 on a scale of 100. He is happy (55/100) and is still with his girlfriend, Chastity, who obviously doesn't help him too much with his school work. Should be an interesting year as his Hurricanes are ranked #3 to start the season. ---------- And last but certainly not least, Notre Dame CB Percy Lyon. Lyon was on the sidelines for the entire Irish season, one in which they went 10-2 and declined to play in a smaller bowl. Percy, from the beginning wasn't in a great situation as both starters had multiple years left playing. RS Senior Robbie Morrison started in all of the games and managed 27 tackles and 4 interceptions on the year. RS Junior Roderick Jennings was injured after the fourth game and he already had 3 INT. Fellow freshman Percy Walters should also see some time this season. He could win a starting spot in camp (unlikely) and will most likely be a dime or nickle CB and make an impact as much as he can. Percy is extremely happy at Notre Dame. He managed to scrape together a 3.24 GPA as that tough institution and after dumping his old flame Farrah for a new and much better looking Yvonne he is looking even happier in South Bend! His Fighting Irish are ranked #11 to start the season! ---------- Thats the situations. Bostic, Sherwood, Montgomery and Manning should see some nice time and Lyon can make a contribution all with 4 years of eligibility remaining. Should be some great careers to follow! __________________ Go STL Sports! Last edited by mtaystl03 : 02-09-2004 at 07:01 PM.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Game Spotlights: Week One #1 Michigan 27, #19 Washington 0 How about this one! The top ranked Wolves leave no doubt in the minds of pollsters that they want to stay there this year. They go into a top 20 schools house and not only win, they dominate the Huskies in Seattle. Our Irv Montgomery had a successful debut as he caught 2 passes for 44 yards in the game. WR Ben Ellard stole the show with 3 catches for 80 yards and 2 TD's. It's good to see Monte establishing himself as a top two threat for QB Brian Swift. Irv Montgomery weekly statistics 1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 2 catches for 44 yards and 0 TD. Health: Good Michigan Record: 1-0 Michigan Ranking: #1 #3 Miami 56, Utah State 14 So the Hurricanes keep their unbeaten streak alive with the win over Utah State. Our Erik Manning didn't do much although he did start the game. His partner in crime Riddick Hutt had a HUGE day with 4 tackles and 3.0 sacks! Manning had just one blocked pass on the day while the Hurricanes move to 1-0. Erik Manning weekly statistics 1 - vs Utah State (W, 56-14) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block. ---------- Season Stats: 0 tackles (0 assists), 0 sacks and 1 blocked pass. Health: Good Miami Record: 1-0 Miami Ranking: #2 #11 Notre Dame 42, Michigan State 0 The Irish start fast against a faltering Michigan State program. Our DB Percy Lyon doesn't start the game but makes a solid contribution to the team with 2 tackles and an assist. He was involved in 6 pass plays and gave up 2 catches but not a bad first appearance for him. Again, the Irish start very strong and could move up in the rankings. Percy Lyon weekly statistics 1 - vs Michigan State (W, 42-0) - 2 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. ---------- Season Stats: 2 tackles (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 defensed passes. Health: Good Notre Dame Record: 1-0 Notre Dame Ranking: #6 #32 Stanford 49, Arkansas State 0 This was without a doubt the biggest game for us to follow as our RB Tommy Sherwood is making his first collegiate start! On his first carry and the Cardinal's first play from scrimmage he carried the ball for 3 yards. On his 2nd carry he broke through for 22 more! He also scored his first touchdown on that first drive from 11 yards out!! He ended up with 28 carries for 150 yards and 2 scores and added 2 catches out of the backfield for 25 yards. A great start for Tommy against a pretty weak squad. He was named one of the many players of the week for week one! Good start for Tommy. Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics 1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 28 carries for 150 yards and 2 TD // 2 receptions for 25 yards and 0 TD. Health: Good Stanford Record: 1-0 Stanford Ranking: #9 Player of the Week: 1 UCLA and QB Larry Bostic were idle. So all four teams win, three of them get shutouts and all four that played move into the top 10!

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	Kingfc22- Yeah, that is going to be a good one. Im about to sim it. As for Sherwood, he is already a great talent but Im not too familiar with TCY as far as guys leaving early. I know those two Georgia guys including the heisman trophy winner Tyrell Phillips decided to stay. How often do studs leave early? Grid Iron- Wow. Thanks for the nice comments!

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Two #1 Michigan 22, #6 Notre Dame 16 - 2 OT What a game this turned out to be. Both teams deserved to win it but in the end the Wolverines win the game and move to 2-0. The game started with an 80-yard touchdown run by Michigan's Nolan Douglass. After that the defenses took over and Notre Dame tied it up with 1:23 left in the game at 13. Both teams came up with Field goals in the first OT. In the second Notre Dame went first and didnt have confidence in their kicker from 50 yards out and went for it. They didn't get it and Michigan's Brian Swift found RB Benson for the winning TD. It was a great game. Unfortunately, both Percy Lyon and Irv Montgomery didn't do anything in the game. Irv Montgomery weekly statistics 1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD. 2 - @ #6 Notre Dame (W, 22-16) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 2 catches for 44 yards and 0 TD. Health: Good Michigan Record: 2-0 Michigan Ranking: #1 --------------------------------- Percy Lyon weekly statistics 1 - vs Michigan State (W, 42-0) - 2 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 2 - vs #1 Michigan (L, 22-16) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. ---------- Season Stats: 2 tackles (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 defensed passes. Health: Good Notre Dame Record: 1-1 Notre Dame Ranking: #42 #2 Miami 56, San Jose State 7 The Miami Hurricanes win again but it was to a weak opponent. The Hurricanes need to start playing some tougher opponents if they want their unbeaten seasons to get them into a national championship. DE Erik Manning starts the game and has one tackle and an assist in the game. He also hurried the QB once. Riddick Hutt cooled down and managed just one assist on the day. Erik Manning weekly statistics 1 - vs Utah State (W, 56-14) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block. 2 - vs Southern Methodist (W, 56-7) - 1 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 1 hurry. ---------- Season Stats: 1 tackles (1 assists), 0 sacks, 1 blocked pass and 1 hurry. Health: Good Miami Record: 2-0 Miami Ranking: #2 #9 Stanford 45, San Jose State 9 Our great RB Tommy Sherwood had another amazing day! He gained 205 yards on 24 carries and scored THREE times, running his season total to five already! His scores were from 67, 8 and 1 yards out. He does it again against a below average run defense but nonetheless this guy is turning out to be pretty good! Stanford falls in the rankings because of the weak first opponents but our Sherwood is among the nations leaders in rushing (3rd in yards and 2nd in TD's). He was among the players of the week once again. Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics 1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD. 2 - vs San Jose State (W, 45-9) - 24-205 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 52 carries for 355 yards and 5 TD // 2 receptions for 25 yards and 0 TD.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Game Spotlights: Week Three UCLA 31, #6 Ohio State 21 In a sudden and disappointing change of plans the UCLA coaching staff has made the decision that our Larry Bostic isn't fit to start as a red-shirt freshman and gave the nod to Senior Roderick Parliaman. It might not be all bad for Larry to learn for a year behind the senior Parliaman who had a nice game in a huge situation as the Bruins beat the #6 Ohio State Buckeyes 31-21. Parliaman was 16-for-23 for 206 yards and 2 TD's. Very efficient. He was awarded as one of the players of the week. Larry Bostic weekly statistics 3 - vs. #6 Ohio State - Did not play ---------- Season Stats: No action yet. Health: Good UCLA Record: 1-0 UCLA Ranking: #8 #2 Miami 38, #50 Washington 13 The Hurricanes win again as our Erik Manning had two tackles in the game. The Canes keep rollin' along and they keep winning and could have a shot at a National Championship this season.

In fact he only played one half of the game and had just 12 carries for 82 yards and 3 TDs! Again, a nice day. Could've been huge. The backup Kurt Mathews had 26 for 99 and a score. Big win for the Cardinal but they don't move up in the rankings. Sherwood was a player of the week for the 3rd strait week and now 4th in yards and has the most rushing TD's of any player in the nation!

The Irish had the ball first in OT and kicked a field goal. They were buried when Purdue got a 3-yard scamper from their tailback. Pretty frusterating so far for the Irish and Percy.

That pass was in between a couple 9 yard runs. He was taken out for RS Junior Bruce Strickland who had a nice day as well going 8-11 for 94 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT.

Keep up the good work.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Week Seven Game Spotlights #1 Michigan 21 vs #17 Wisconsin 14 Irv Montgomery has been non-existent for 4 weeks and almost three full quarters of this one but he showed up with a bang! With the Wolverines down 14-13, Irv came up with a huge 78-yard touchdown reception!! QB Brian Swift was uncharacteristically bad in this one. He was just 12 of 26 for 279 yards, 1 TD and 4 interceptions. That says a lot about this Michigan team when they can play this bad and find a way to still win the game. Irv Montgomery weekly statistics 1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD. 2 - @ #6 Notre Dame (W, 22-16) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 4 - vs. #6 Oklahoma (W, 37-7) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 5 - vs. #42 Illinois (W, 46-0) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 6 - @ Northwestern (W, 35-3) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - vs. #17 Wisconsin (W, 21-14) - 1 rec. 78 yards, 1 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 3 catches (6 targets) for 131 yards and 1 TD - (1 drop). Health: Good Michigan Record: 6-0 Michigan Ranking: #1 #21 West Virginia 14 @ #5 Miami 42 The Hurricanes get a nice win at home over the Mountaineers. DE Erik Manning started his sixth game of the season but only recorded one assist. Disappointing. At least that one assist was behind the line of scrimmage. Just looking for positives so far this season for Erik. The 'Canes lose a spot in the rankings despite the quality win over a top 25 team. Erik Manning weekly statistics 1 - vs Utah State (W, 56-14) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block. 2 - vs Southern Methodist (W, 56-7) - 1 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 1 hurry. 3 - @ #50 Washington (W, 38-13) - 2 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block, 1 hurry. 5 - @ #13 Boston College (L, 35-17) - 5 tack (2 assist), 0 sacks. 6 - vs. Troy State (W, 52-10) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks. 7 - vs. #21 West Virginia (W, 42-14) - 0 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks. ---------- Season Stats: 8 tackles, (4 assists), 3 tackles for loss, 0 sacks, 2 blocked passes and 2 hurries. Health: Good Miami Record: 5-1 Miami Ranking: #6 #14 Stanford 52 vs. Oregon State 20 Tommy Sherwood is amazing! On this day he leads the Cardinal with 25 carries for 128 yards (5.8 average) and two more touchdowns! He had a long run of 27 yards and even caught one pass for seven yards and scored on that play! Mr. Sherwood is now ranked 5th among rushers in yards and 3rd in touchdowns in the whole nation, as a red-shirt freshman. Just a great start. Next week he has a real test against one of our other teams, UCLA. Should be fun. He was again named a NCAA player of the week. The Cardinal are now ranked #12 in the nation. Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics: 1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD. 2 - vs San Jose State (W, 45-9) - 24-205 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 3 - vs Eastern Michigan (W, 80-7) - 12-82 yards, 3 TD // 1-30, 0 TD. 5 - vs Arizona State (W, 24-10) - 31-117 yards, 1 TD // 3-26, 0 TD. 6 - @ Arizona (W, 42-17) - 32-212 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - @ Oregon State (W, 52-20) - 25-128 yards, 2 TD // 1-7 yards, 1 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 152 carries for 894 yards (5.8 average) and 14 TD // 7 receptions for 88 yards and 1 TD. Health: Good Stanford Record: 6-0 Stanford Ranking: #12 Player of the Week: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 Arizona State 7 @ #20 UCLA 45 The Bruins roll over the Sun Devils at home and now prepare for our Tommy Sherwood and the #12 Stanford Cardinal. Starting QB Roderick Parliaman had a nice day going 16-21 for 213 yards and 3 TD's to 1 INT. Our guy Larry Bostic got into the game at the end and would rather forget it happened. He was 0-for-3 and threw a pick. He did run the ball (which seems to be his forte) 3 times for 46 yards in his limited action. UCLA jumps from #20 to #14 with the win. Larry Bostic weekly statistics 3 - vs. #6 Ohio State (W, 31-21) - did not play 4 - vs. Northern Illinois (W, 73-0) - 1-for-1, 22 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT // 2 carries, 18 yards, 0 TD. 5 - @ Washington - did not play 6 - vs. Oregon (L, 53-51) - did not play 7 - vs. Arizona State (W, 45-7) - 0-for-3, 0 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT // 3 carries, 46 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 1-for-4, 22 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 21.2 passer rating // 3 carries, 66 yards, 0 TD.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Week Eight Game Spotlights #9 Iowa 7 @ #1 Michigan 33 The Wolverines keep that #1 ranking with a big 33-7 victory over a top ten team in Iowa. Irv Montgomery decided not to show up for this one but made the most of his one rush on the day picking up 21 yards! No catches and he wasn't even targeted. QB Brian Swift came back to his normal self going 15-of-23 for 177 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. He added 16 rushes for 43 yards. Senior wideout Ben Ellard stole the show again with 6 catches for 104 yards and 2 TD's. Hopefully our boy Irv is looking up to and learning from this Ellard guy. Irv Montgomery weekly statistics 1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD. 2 - @ #6 Notre Dame (W, 22-16) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 4 - vs. #6 Oklahoma (W, 37-7) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 5 - vs. #42 Illinois (W, 46-0) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 6 - @ Northwestern (W, 35-3) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - vs. #17 Wisconsin (W, 21-14) - 1 rec. 78 yards, 1 TD. 8 - vs. #9 Iowa (W, 33-7) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 1 rush for 21 yards. ---------- Season Stats: 3 catches (6 targets) for 131 yards and 1 TD - (1 drop). 2 carries, 21 yards. Health: Good Michigan Record: 7-0 Michigan Ranking: #1 #14 UCLA 33 @ #12 Stanford 14 The Bruins come up huge and hand Stanford thier first loss of the season. UCLA is the first team to figure out our stud running back Tommy Sherwood who was held to just 16 carries for 66 yards and no scores. The Cardinal were forced to pass late in the game and abandoned the running game looking to close the gap. Sherwood did score the first touchdown of the game as he caught a 10 yards touchdown pass to put the Cardinal on top but the couldn't hold the advantage. Our UCLA QB Larry Bostic got some more mop up time and completed one of one passes for 10 yards and ran once of -1 yard. The Bruins were led by RB Rodney Tucker, who is having a nice season, with 130 yards and a couple of touchdowns. This is the first week Tommy was held under 100 yards, didn't score a rushing TD. He did, however, still get a player of the week award. Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics: 1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD. 2 - vs San Jose State (W, 45-9) - 24-205 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 3 - vs Eastern Michigan (W, 80-7) - 12-82 yards, 3 TD // 1-30, 0 TD. 5 - vs Arizona State (W, 24-10) - 31-117 yards, 1 TD // 3-26, 0 TD. 6 - @ Arizona (W, 42-17) - 32-212 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - @ Oregon State (W, 52-20) - 25-128 yards, 2 TD // 1-7 yards, 1 TD. 8 - vs #14 UCLA (L, 33-14) - 16-66 yards, 0 TD // 2-20 yards, 1 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 168 carries for 960 yards (5.7 average) and 14 TD // 9 receptions for 108 yards and 2 TD.

Health: Good UCLA Record: 5-1 UCLA Ranking: #10 #28 Notre Dame 55 @ Troy State 7 The Irish continue to climb their way back into things and with this blitzing of Troy State the club moves into the top 25 at #22. Our guy CB Percy Lyon is making a solid contribution to the team despite being the #4 defensive back. He manages 2 tackles and one was for a loss in the game. He was involved in 12 run plays and 13 pass plays which is the most this season for him. ND was lead by their stellar quarterback Joel Johnson who was 14-of-17 for 220 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. Good win for the Irish and welcome back to the top 25. All five teams are there now. Percy Lyon weekly statistics 1 - vs Michigan State (W, 42-0) - 2 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 2 - vs #1 Michigan (L, 22-16) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 3 - @ #13 Purdue (L, 26-23) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 5 - @ UConn (W, 56-0) - 1 tack (3 assists), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 1 def. 6 - @ Western Michigan (W, 76-0) - 1 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 2 def. 8 - @ Troy State (W, 55-7) - 2 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. ---------- Season Stats: 6 tackles (4 assists), 0 sacks, 1 INT, 3 defensed passes. Health: Good Notre Dame record: 4-2 Notre Dame ranking: #22 #6 Miami 35 @ Temple 30 The Temple Owls were that close to catching the mighty Hurricanes looking ahead. Erik Manning and crew gave up 30 points to a weak offense but managed to keep the victory. Manning didn't do much after starting his seventh game this season and managing only one measley tackle and a hurry of the quarterback. Meanwhile, fellow red-shirt freshman Riddick Hutt had 2.0, giving him 5.0 and Junior Fred Wuerffel managed 3.0 and now has 8.0! I wonder how Erik is still getting starts. He won't unless he picks up his game. The Hurricanes move back to #5 in the coaches poll. Where will they be in the all important BCS? Erik Manning weekly statistics 1 - vs Utah State (W, 56-14) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block. 2 - vs Southern Methodist (W, 56-7) - 1 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 1 hurry. 3 - @ #50 Washington (W, 38-13) - 2 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 block, 1 hurry. 5 - @ #13 Boston College (L, 35-17) - 5 tack (2 assist), 0 sacks. 6 - vs. Troy State (W, 52-10) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks. 7 - vs. #21 West Virginia (W, 42-14) - 0 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks. 8 - @ Temple (W, 35-30) - 1 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 1 hurry. ---------- Season Stats: 9 tackles, (4 assists), 3 tackles for loss, 0 sacks, 2 blocked passes and 3 hurries.

mtaystl03 High School Varsity Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: St. Louis, MO	NCAA Week Nine Game Spotlights 17 Stanford 29 @ #19 Oregon 42 The Cardinal defense lets up and the Ducks blitz them for 42 points. Tommy Sherwood had his worst day of his career with 23 carries for 100 yards and no scores. He added 2 catches for 24 yards and didn't score in that dept. either. It's pretty good when we are in week nine and it is the first time he has gone a whole game without a score and wasn't named player of the week all season. He continues a good season but the Cardinal have lost two strait and fall out of the top 25. Tommy is now ranked 4th in the nation in yards (1,060) and tied for 4th in TD's with 14! Still awesome. Tommy Sherwood weekly statistics: 1 - vs Arkansas State (W, 49-0) - 28-150 yards, 2 TD // 2-25 yards, 0 TD. 2 - vs San Jose State (W, 45-9) - 24-205 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 3 - vs Eastern Michigan (W, 80-7) - 12-82 yards, 3 TD // 1-30, 0 TD. 5 - vs Arizona State (W, 24-10) - 31-117 yards, 1 TD // 3-26, 0 TD. 6 - @ Arizona (W, 42-17) - 32-212 yards, 3 TD // 0-0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - @ Oregon State (W, 52-20) - 25-128 yards, 2 TD // 1-7 yards, 1 TD. 8 - vs #14 UCLA (L, 33-14) - 16-66 yards, 0 TD // 2-20 yards, 1 TD. 9 - @ #19 Oregon (L, 42-29) - 23-100 yards, 0 TD // 2-24, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 191 carries for 1060 yards (5.7 average) and 14 TD // 11 receptions for 132 yards and 2 TD. Health: Good Stanford Record: 6-2 Stanford Ranking: #27 Player of the Week: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 #1 Michigan 41 @ Minnesota 10 The Wolverines (again, my pick for this years national champ!) wins again on the road over the Golden Gophers. QB Brian Swift had another nice game but didn't find our Irv Montgomery. Swift was 18-for-27 for 235 yards, 3 TD and 0 picks. He found his favorite target Ben Ellard six more times for 111 yards and a TD. Junior tight end Max Skidmore caught 3 passes for 32 yards and the other two touchdowns. Irv, who we could say has been a disappointment this season, was targeted twice but Swift just couldn't get him the ball either time. Irv Montgomery weekly statistics 1 - @ #19 Washington (W, 27-0) - 2 rec. 44 yards, 0 TD. 2 - @ #6 Notre Dame (W, 22-16) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 4 - vs. #6 Oklahoma (W, 37-7) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 5 - vs. #42 Illinois (W, 46-0) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 6 - @ Northwestern (W, 35-3) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 7 - vs. #17 Wisconsin (W, 21-14) - 1 rec. 78 yards, 1 TD. 8 - vs. #9 Iowa (W, 33-7) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. 1 rush for 21 yards. 9 - @ Minnesota (W, 41-10) - 0 rec. 0 yards, 0 TD. ---------- Season Stats: 3 catches (8 targets) for 131 yards and 1 TD - (1 drop). 2 carries, 21 yards. Health: Good Michigan Record: 8-0 Michigan Ranking: #1 #10 UCLA 31 @ #32 West Virginia 3 An impressive win for the Bruins who maintain their spot in the top 10 with this road win. QB Roderick Parliaman is setting a very good example for our Larry Bostic, he was 19-of-23 for 374 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT. That performance earned Parliaman the NCAA Offensive Player of the Week award! As for Bostic, he came in late and was 0-for-1 and was sacked for a loss of 7 yards. Larry Bostic weekly statistics 3 - vs. #6 Ohio State (W, 31-21) - did not play 4 - vs. Northern Illinois (W, 73-0) - 1-for-1, 22 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT // 2 carries, 18 yards, 0 TD. 5 - @ Washington - did not play 6 - vs. Oregon (L, 53-51) - did not play 7 - vs. Arizona State (W, 45-7) - 0-for-3, 0 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT // 3 carries, 46 yards, 0 TD. 8 - @ #12 Stanford (W, 33-14) - 1-for-1, 10 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT // 1 carry, -1 yards, 0 TD. 9 - @ #32 West Virginia (W, 31-3) - 0-for-1, 0 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT // 1 carry, -7 yards (sacked). ---------- Season Stats: 2-for-6, 32 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 44.7 passer rating // 7 carries, 56 yards, 0 TD. Health: Good UCLA Record: 6-1 UCLA Ranking: #10 #22 Notre Dame 10 @ #42 Brigham Young 17 A very disappointing loss for the Irish who have folded it up this season. The BYU Cougars come up with a huge win. Percy Lyon was involved in only 5 pass plays and didn't do anything noteworthy. Percy Lyon weekly statistics 1 - vs Michigan State (W, 42-0) - 2 tack (1 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 2 - vs #1 Michigan (L, 22-16) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 3 - @ #13 Purdue (L, 26-23) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 5 - @ UConn (W, 56-0) - 1 tack (3 assists), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 1 def. 6 - @ Western Michigan (W, 76-0) - 1 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 2 def. 8 - @ Troy State (W, 55-7) - 2 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. 9 - @ BYU (L, 17-10) - 0 tack (0 assist), 0 sacks, 0 INT, 0 def. ---------- Season Stats: 6 tackles (4 assists), 0 sacks, 1 INT, 3 defensed passes. Health: Good Notre Dame record: 4-3 Notre Dame ranking: #32 Top 25 Scoreboard #9 Oklahoma (6-1) 13, at #3 Nebraska (7-1) 10 --In a huge Big 12 showdown, the Sooners go into Nebraska and take it!-- #28 Texas A&M (4-2) 24, at #11 Kansas State (7-1) 52 #33 Pittsburgh (4-3) 13 at #14 Virginia Tech (6-1) 37 #4 Georgia (6-1) 35, at Auburn (3-4) 13 #2 Florida State (6-0) 34, at #35 Clemson (4-3) 7 #7 Texas (6-1) 31, at Missouri (1-6) 14 #12 Colorado State (7-1) 28, at Utah (2-4) 13 #18 Boise State (6-1) 21, at #48 Central Houston (4-3) 18 #21 Ohio State (5-2) 36, at #44 Michigan State (4-3) 31 #25 Penn State (5-2) 24, at #24 Wisconsin (5-3) 14 Mississippi State (1-6) 16, at #8 Tennessee (6-1) 42 Northwestern (2-5) 13, at #15 Iowa (6-1) 31 Rutgers (2-5) 21, at #16 Boston College (6-1) 28 #20 USC (4-2) 31, at Washington State (1-7) 19 San Diego State (1-7) 14, at #23 New Mexico (7-0) 41 Offensive Player of the Week : QB Roderick Parliaman (UCLA) : 19-of-23 for 374 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT. Defensive Player of the Week: DE Jason Kozhin (New Mexico) : 6 tackles (1 assist), 5.0 sacks. Continuing to follow the amazing story of Virginia Tech runningback Matthew Vanden Bosch, he had another day with 43 carries for 258 more yards and a TD. He now has 1,481 yards (1st) and 19 TD (1st) in just seven games! The 2nd place guy is Kansas State's Randy Levine who has 1,434 and has played one more game than Vanden Bosch. Ohio State's Ray Wiggins is the only guy with a chance at catching him with a solid 1,317 and seven games played with 14 TD's. Can you say Heisman? Another developing story. It seems some of our recognizable quarterbacks are having nice seasons. Roderick Parliaman, leading the UCLA Bruins and the mentor of our QB Larry Bostic is ranked 2nd in the nation with a 181.6 passer rating. Notre Dame's Joel Johnson is 3rd with 180.7 and Stanford's QB Erik Cunningham is being overshadowed by teammate Tommy Sherwood but is ranked 6th with a 173.6. New Top 25 1. Michigan 8-0 2.
