I've played countless games of BBCF with all kinds of teams, from USC & Michigan to Troy & Louisiana Monroe. So I decided to fire up a single player game again with Bowlig Green and much to my surprise I found the best QB I've ever had under center with any BBCF team.
Ronald Russell was a Sophmore who rated 4.5/4.5. That in itself isn't too impressive, and he wasn't even that great of a thrower but he was a dual threat in every sense of the imagination.
Our team was awful. My RB was rated 1.5/3 and my top two WR's were 2.0/3.0. The OL had one guy at 2.5 and everyone else was 1.5 or 1. So our team was awful.
Russell showed he was special by Beating Boston College single handedly (throwing for 3 TD and rushing for 2) and after that just rolled us to a 13-0 season and a 6th seed in the Playoffs where we lost to eventual champions Penn State. Russell would only throw for 2365 yards and 18 TD but his 1204 yards rushing and 8 TD made our offense lethal and lead us to (for us) a solid recruiting class that gave us 8 freshman starters total on both sides of the balls.
The next season, Russell's completion % went down to a mediocre 54.4 but his TD's went up to 29 and he still ran for 800 yards and 11 TD leading us to another 13-0 season, but another loss in the playoffs took the steam out of our sails.
So come the off-season, we recruit another solid class but we learn Russell is going to the NFL Draft. Thankfully, we had a transfer QB from Michigan come in and he is now 5/5 but still not in the realm of Russell. But now we're in our third year, sitting at 8-1 (with a loss to Alabama) and riding a 23 game Mac Winning streak.
This is our top team yet but next year we'll only get better. But it's all in part to our two year QB who lead us to a 26-2 record and has us knocking on the doorstep of the National Title Tournament.
Just had to post because this has been the most fun I've had playing solo player in BBCF and I can't wait to keep going.
