Well, I'm very convincing! Also, I'll probably make him stay 5 years. In a pass first offense.

It's time for a new OC. I like this guy's top line numbers, which are always more important to me than the development ratings. And even there, he can develop where my focus is: QB, WR, and OL.

Idaho 2006 Overview
National Ranking: 90th Sun Belt Ranking: 5th Code:
QB is a super priority for next season. Neither Fassero nor Pientka is the guy to take us to the next level. Code:
I can afford to give Luther the shirt because Phillips is pretty good. Code:
Need some more depth at WR, especially since I haven't been giving anyone the shirt. Code:
Lots of true Freshmen on the line again this year. I can only give Wilson the shirt. Morrison probably needs to sit for a year, but I have no one else worth playing. Code:
Will have to get a Kicker and Punter in the next class. Code:
Can't afford to shirt anyone here either, especially at DT. Will look for two guys there in the next class. Code:
The situation at LB is better, allowing me to shirt all of our Freshmen. Code:
I give the shirt to Lucas, but keep Houlihan as the 3rd Safety, since the other backups can't find the field.

Week 1: Connecticut (0-0) at Idaho (0-0)
Great start to the career of DJ Fassero. He throws three TD passes to stake us to a 31-3 lead. Then when UConn mounted a furious comeback to make it a 4 pt game, Fassero had one last TD drive in him to put it away. Special mention to our defense, which sacked UConn's QB 10 times. Code:
QB Fassero 18-30-326-4-2 RB Phillips 17-89-1 WR Holmberg 7-127-2 WR Abeykoon 2-78-1 ILB Kennedy 9 tackles, 2 assists, 1 sack DT Newhart 3 tackles, 2 assists, 2 sacks DE Cumming 2 tackles, 4 assists, 2 sacks DT Timms 2 tackles, 2 sacks *Hilariously, we are now ranked #22. TCY's polls are always really wacky after the 1st week. *Our Academic Rep has improved and the recruiting prospects look pretty good.

Week 2: #14 Toledo (1-0) at #22 Idaho (1-0)
Fassero isn't quite as sharp in this one and we trailed for most of the game. Toledo's kicker had a great game, including a 56 yard FG as time expired at the half. Toledo took a 23-13 lead into the 4th quarter. There great special teams play from P Sanderson and S Emmons got us the ball at the Toledo 18 where we capitalize to make it 23-20. On the next drive, the defense picked off Toledo's QB. We capitalized on another short field to take the 27-23 lead. The defense shut Toledo down to give us a 2-0 start! Code:
QB Fassero 18-31-214-1-2 RB Phillips 17-41-1, 5-64-0 WR Branch 3-71-1 S Emmons 2 tackles, 3 assists, 2 INT

Week 3: Bye
*We fall to #42 in the rankings. *Arizona continues to suck, even without their awful QB. They've lost their first two games this season and are now 1-23 since this dynasty started. Their Prestige is actually lower than ours at this point. *Other teams that have performed terribly include UAB (2-22), Indiana (2-22), and Rutgers (3-21). *The top performing teams are Georgia (26-2), USC (24-3), Texas (23-4), and Bowling Green (24-5).

Week 4: #42 Idaho (2-0) at Troy (1-1)
Well, this is more of the type of game I expected from Fassero at the beginning of the season. It wasn't pretty. He threw 6 picks and our defense was helpless dealing with all the short fields. Code:
QB Fassero 15-37-193-0-6 WR Abeykoon 5-97-0 ILB Kennedy 14 tackles, 3 assists DT Roosenraad 8 tackles, 3 assists *This loss drops us to #51 in the rankings. *Arizona lost to Virginia 48-10.

Week 6: Arkansas State (0-3) at Idaho (2-1)
Well, Arkansas State sucks. That much is clear. They actually started off with a good drive until an interception in the red zone. On the very next play, Fassero found Abeykoon for a 90 yard TD. An Arkansas State 3 and out was followed by a 43 yard TD pass two plays later. There was no looking back. It got so ugly that Fassero was replaced before halftime. Code:
QB Fassero 7-10-179-4-0 QB Tangeman 13-16-201-2-0 QB Dabrowa 6-6-94-1-0 WR Holmberg 9-140-3 WR Abeykoon 5-170-3 WR Branch 5-89-1 S Emmons 3 tackles, 2 INT CB Nutter 1 tackle, 1 INT, 1 TD DE Horne 2 tackles, 2 sacks. *We are now ranked 44th. *Arizona lost to California 45-6 *No new recruits this week.

Week 7: Idaho (3-1) at New Mexico State (1-3)
Fassero struggled again, but we were in this throughout. A huge 70 yard fumble return for a TD by true Freshman CB Goetti put us within 1, but the extra point was missed. New Mexico State added a TD and FG to seal the game. Code:
QB Fassero 12-27-220-1-2 WR Abeykoon 2-83-0 OLB Barlow 13 tackles, 4 assists ILB Kennedy 11 tackles, 5 assists DT Roosenraad 10 tackles, 4 assists *Backup OLB Warren Coleman is out for 38 weeks with reconstructive knee surgery. *No new recruits again. Almost everyone is visiting except my QB target. I start looking for a fallback option. *Arizona lost to USC 59-0. *We are now ranked 59th.

Week 8: Louisiana-Lafayette (2-2) at Idaho (3-2)
It's a Jekyll and Hyde act for Fassero as he rebounds with a 400 yard effort and we defeat Louisiana-Lafayette for the third straight year. They hung in there for quite a bit, but Fassero's steady performance helped us pull away in the 2nd half. Code:
QB Fassero 26-45-421-2-1 RB Phillips 16-50-1, 3-31-1 WR Holmberg 8-120-1 WR Branch 6-94-0 WR Abeykoon 4-99-1 DE Cumming 4 tackles, 1 assist, 4.5 sacks CB Goetti 6 tackles, 2 INT *Senior WR Solorio is out for 14 weeks, effectively ending his career. *Senior DE Sean Horne has Repetitive Concussion Syndrome and is out for 64 weeks. *New recruits this week: K Corey Copeland - #187 Overall, #5 K DE Wesley Perkins - #552 Overall, #72 DE G Henry Clancy - #558 Overall, #47 G OLB Buddy Malone - #983 Overall, #67 OLB

Week 9: North Texas (1-5) at Idaho (4-2)
Fassero finally put together two strong games in a row and North Texas has no hope of stopping our offense. We really pour it on after having to settle for two early FG's and end up with 566 total yards. Code:
QB Fassero 20-32-445-3-0 RB Phillips 16-58-1 WR Holmberg 7-197-1 WR Abeykoon 6-168-1 DE Arteaga 5 tackles, 2.5 sacks DE Cumming 3 tackles, 2 assists, 1.5 sacks *New recruits: (We finally get our QB!)

Week 11: Utah State (4-4) at Idaho (5-2)
Well, we really blew this one. A Fassero TD pass gave us a 14-7 lead with 8 minutes left in the 4th. And we held that lead until 1:18 left in the game, when Utah State completed a 43 yard TD pass to tie it up. On the very next play from scrimmage, Fassero is intercepted. Two plays after that, Utah State scored on a 15 yard run to win it 21-14. Games like this are why I won't feel so bad when Fassero loses his starting job to Stuvaints next year. Code:
QB Fassero 19-40-258-1-2 RB Phillips 16-89-0, 3-35-0 WR Holmberg 5-76-1 OLB Barlow 11 tackles, 5 assists ILB Kennedy 10 tackles, 3 assists DE Cumming 2 tackles, 1 assist, 1.5 sacks *The injuries keep piling up. We lose our best WR, Derek Abeykoon, for the rest of the season. *New recruits: WR Danny Gaines - #379 Overall, #36 WR C Randall McNaught - #556 Overall, #30 C G Rico Carlson - #609 Overall, #53 G *Arizona still on track for a winless season with a 34-10 loss against Washington State. *Virginia Tech falls from the unbeaten ranks with a 31-30 loss against Miami.

Week 12: Idaho (5-3) at Middle Tennessee State (7-1)
We almost blow another one. Despite us leading all game, Middle Tenn scored 10 pts in the final 8 minutes to force OT. Luckily, we came through in the clutch this time. Fassero threw a 25 yard TD pass on the 2nd play of OT. On the very next play, Emmons forced a fumble and Barlow recovered it to seal the victory. Code:
QB Fassero 26-42-345-3-2 WR Holmberg 9-135-3 ILB Kennedy 9 tackles, 1 assist, 1 sack S Emmons 5 tackles, 2 assists, 1 INT, 1 FF DE Cumming 4 tackles, 3 sacks *New recruit: WR Rob Monroe - #538 Overall, #45 WR *This wraps up a very successful recruiting year. I was able to snag 16 guys in the top 1000. *Notre Dame and Texas A&M are still undefeated at the top, with Michigan and Miami as the top 1 loss teams trying to sneak in to the title game. *Arizona lost to Oregon 34-20.

Week 13: Idaho (6-3) at Louisiana-Monroe (3-7)
Fassero struggles without his top two receivers and we don't focus enough on the run game. It was still a one score game most of the way until Fassero threw an INT to kill a good drive in the 4th. Louisiana-Monroe capitalized to make it a two score game with 2:01 left. Code:
QB Fassero 20-42-293-2-2 RB Phillips 10-65-0, 3-17-1 WR Holmberg 5-93-1 WR Branch 2-69-0 ILB Kennedy 12 tackles, 3 assists DT Roosenraad 9 tackles, 3 assists, 0.5 sacks S Emmons 6 tackles, 1 INT *Arizona finishes their winless season with a 35-3 loss to Arizona State. They now have a 1-32 record over the past three seasons. *#1 Texas A&M was on a bye. *#2 Notre Dame stayed undefeated by beating UConn 59-17. *#3 Michigan beat #11 Ohio State 55-14. *#4 USC was on a bye. *#5 Miami beat Duke 41-13.

Week 14: #18 Boise State (8-2) at Idaho (6-4)
I emphasize the run a little bit more, but to no avail as Phillips is stuffed. Not that more passes would've done much because Fassero was picked off three times. However, the defense did an incredible job of keeping us in this game, holding Boise State's QB to 11 for 32, 117 yards, 0 TD, and 4 INT. But we made too many mistakes (4 turnovers) and could not convert on 3rd down (2-14). Code:
QB Fassero 19-34-162-2-3 WR Branch 4-80-0 RB Phillips 23-26-0, 2-16-1 ILB Kennedy 16 tackles, 6 assists, 1 INT, 1 FF CB Goetti 1 tackle, 2 INT OLB Newman 3 tackles, 1 assist, 1 INT *#1 Notre Dame beat #24 Boston College 56-21 *#2 Texas A&M beat #11 Texas 31-17 *#3 Michigan and #4 USC are done for the season and simply waiting to see if one of the top two lose next week.

*Our season is over. No bowl game for us this year. *We didn't improve on last year's 6-5 record, but at least we didn't regress with the downgrade at QB. *Notre Dame doesn't fool around and clinches their spot in the title game with an 84-9 beat down of Florida Tech. *Texas A&M clinches their spot by beating Nebraska 35-27 in the Big 12 title game.

Graduating Seniors
WR Lee Solorio One of the better players I was given to start my career. I decided not to shirt him as a Sophomore, but he ended up spending most of the season sidelined with an injury. He started all 11 games as a junior and had a decent season with 43 catches, 557 yards, and 11 TD. Then his senior season was marred by another injury. T Bryan Munoz Three year starter. Not a great player, but was dependable. P Terrence Sanderson Was National All-Academic Punter in 2006. Had some good games here and there, but not very good at downing punts inside the 20. DE Sean Horne A 3 year starter who had a great junior year with 13.5 sacks. However, he caught the dreaded Repetitive Concussion Syndrome after 6 games as a Senior and his career was over. DT Kelly Roosenraad DT was one of my better positions to start off with, so Roosenraad sat on the bench for two seasons. But he produced a very good Senior season with consistently good run defense. Awards: 2006 Sun Belt 1st Team OLB Myron Barlow Was one of the best players I had to start with and one of the few I redshirted in my initial season. Solid two year starter. Awards: 2005 Sun Belt 1st Team, 2006 Sun Belt 1st Team S Fernando Emmons Two year starter. Had a great senior season with 45 tackles, 12 assists, and 6 INT's. Awards: 2006 Sun Belt 2nd Team

Bad news to start the year. My Offensive Coordinator stepped down after one season. So I have to get another one and he's not as good...

Here are your 2007 Idaho Vandals
Pre-season Rankings... Overall: 81st Sun Belt: 5th Starters in bold Code:
Very disappointed at how Stuvaints looks. His Avoid INT rating is terrible and he cannot throw the long ball. His Future Estimate still looks decent and maybe there's some scout error here. Still, I think there's enough pause to let Fassero take the reins for another season and let Stuvaints develop. Code:
Luther looks to be the real deal. I'll have to add more runs and screen passes into my gameplan this season. Code:
No depth at TE means I need to keep the shirt off Flemming. Monroe will be the #3 WR as a true Freshman, while Gaines will get the shirt. Code:
Dept at C, so McNaught gets the shirt. I had a good class of Guards and tackles, so I'm able to let Wayman and Carlson develop. Code:
Copeland looks really good, but could use a year of development, so I'll let Kattus finish his career as the starter. This will also mean I won't need a new K/P in the same class next time around. Code:
And here's where my depth might kill me. Perkins will need to play right away as a backup. Timms was suspended for getting in a bar fight over the summer, so I only have two playable DT's. Code:
Kennedy had a fantastic year, but Newton is just way better. I really don't like the 3-4, so I may try playing Kennedy at OLB while he backs up Newton at ILB. Code:
Luckily, we have some depth here and can shirt both Freshmen. Walton is disappointing in that he has terrible Man to Man defense, which is a majority of the coverages I run.

Week 1: Akron (0-0) at Idaho (0-0)
Some things worked and some things didn't with my new game plan. Luther is the real deal as he put up a 119 yard effort. However, the screen passes didn't work at all and Luther actually ended up with 7 catches for -12 yards. Definitely scratching that. We lead the entire game. Akron keeps it close, but the strong running from Luther and opportunistic defense (4 turnovers) prevents a comeback. Code:

Week 2: Eastern Michigan (0-0) at #22 Idaho (1-0)
Welcome to the Dana Luther show! He completely dominates the Eastern Michigan defense for 205 yards. We still struggled early in this one because our red zone offense had to settle for FG's 4 times and the defense gave up some big runs. But we executed much better in the 2nd half and completely shut them down. Code:
QB Fassero 26-41-294-3-1 RB Luther 22-205-0, 6-27-0 WR Holmberg 5-101-0 WR Branch 3-44-1 K Kattus 4-4 FG's *Arizona continues their losing ways with a 34-7 loss against Nebraska.

*I'm amused at following Arizona's continued suckitude. Can they ever turn it around? This week they fall to Bowling Green 38-3. *I focus recruiting on building depth for the defensive line and finding another QB.

Week 5: North Texas (0-3) at #33 Idaho (2-0)
Dana Luther does it again! He goes for 165 yards and Phillips adds 58 of his own as North Texas has no hope against our running offense. The defense is on fire as well with 11 sacks. North Texas threatens to get back in it with 17 consecutive points, but Luther seals it with a 4th quarter TD run. Code:
QB Fassero 15-25-176-2-1 RB Luther 26-165-2, 3-38-0 RB Phillips 8-58-1 WR Gaines 7-81-1 DE Arteaga 6 tackles, 3.5 sacks CB Nutter 6 tackles, 1 INT DE Perkins 3 tackles, 2 assists, 2 sacks DT Niebauer 3 tackles, 1.5 sacks *Arizona loses to Oregon 41-14. *Fresno State's Fred Donovan tallies 7 sacks this week.

Week 6: #35 Idaho (3-0) at Arkansas State (0-3)
We really don't play good in this one at all against a terrible Arkansas State team. We fumble the opening kickoff and Arkansas State capitalizes to take an early 7-0 lead. We quickly take the lead back with two 1st quarter TD passes. However, we are not able to put them away. They score twice in the 4th quarter to cut the lead to 20-17 and manage to get the ball to our 41 yard line with 10 seconds left, but Arteaga's 4th sack of the day seals the win for us. Code:
QB Fassero 18-34-197-2-0 RB Luther 26-104-0, 1-7-0 WR Abeykoon 7-64-1 WR Gaines 5-64-0 DE Arteaga 7 tackles, 4 sacks CB Goetti 5 tackles, 1 assist, 2 INT *California beats Arizona 51-10 *Another amazing sack performance. BYU's Mitch Logan gets to the QB 8 times this week.

Week 8: #23 Idaho (4-0) at Louisiana-Monroe (1-3)
Well we laid an egg in this one. Luther never gets going as we fall behind early due to numerous mistakes on both sides of the ball. It's 30-7 at the start of the 14th quarter. Fassero manages some big pass plays to close the game to 30-22 (I'm triggered by the fact that we kicked an XP on the 2nd TD). However, Fassero chokes in the clutch as he throws two INT's in Louisiana-Monroe territory in the last 2 minutes. Code:
QB Fassero 16-33-422-2-3 WR Holmberg 5-154-0 WR Branch 2-113-1 WR Abeykoon 4-68-0 ILB Newton 13 tackles, 4 assists CB Nutter 11 tackles, 2 assists DE Cumming 4 tackles, 1 assist, 1.5 sacks DE Arteaga 1 tackle, 1 assist, 1.5 sacks *New recruits: T Lewis Connell - #36 Overall, #2 T WR Terrance Greene - #289 Overall, #19 WR G Russell Garrison - #638 Overall, #50 G DE Leon Degley - #755 Overall, #71 DE *Oregon State beat Arizona 49-6.

Week 9: Middle Tennessee State (3-3) at #39 Idaho (4-1)
Luther gets injured in this one and will be out for 6 weeks. Phillips picks up the slack and records his own 100 yard game. The defense comes up with two pick sixes (and 5 picks in total) and Fassero recovers from last week's choke for a fairly easy victory. Code:
QB Fassero 21-31-365-1-0 RB Phillips 19-100-0 RB Luther 7-45-1 WR Gaines 8-108-0 WR Abeykoon 5-74-0 TE Johnson 3-61-0 CB Nutter 7 tackles, 2 assists, 1 INT CB Goetti 3 tackles, 1 assist, 1 INT, 1 TD S Fisk 2 tackles, 4 assists, 2 INT S Houlihan 2 tackles, 1 INT, 1 TD *New recruits: QB Andy Pierce - #297 Overall, #25 QB CB Andrew Hanks - #553 QB, #42 CB DT Nick Manning - #595 Overall, #33 DT WR Steven Harding - #637 Overall, #52 WR S Chad Isaacson - #771 Overall, #51 S *Oregon State beat Arizona 62-3.

Week 10: #31 Idaho (5-1) at Louisiana-Lafayette (3-4)
Phillips is stuffed all game long, but Fassero has his best game of the season and we pull away late. Code:

Week 11: New Mexico State (4-4) at #26 Idaho (6-1)
Sloppy mistakes from our offense and inability to get stops from our defense doomed us in this one. We still almost pulled out a close battle, but a Fassero 4th quarter INT killed our last comeback attempt. Code:
QB Fassero 27-40-413-2-3 WR Gaines 9-170-0 WR Branch 6-72-1 WR Holmberg 5-120-0 ILB Newton 17 tackles, 3 assists *New recruits: RB Drew Kemp - #747 Overall, #65 RB OLB Jose Soper - #908 Overall, #64 OLB *Arizona almost ended their losing streak, but lost a close one to Washington State, 37-36. *LSU and Texas A&M are the only remaining unbeatens.

#44 Utah State (5-3) at #35 Idaho (6-2)
Without Luther, our running game can't get going and Fassero struggles. This allows Utah State to build a 20-0 lead. Fassero gets hot int he 4th quarter and throws two TD passes to make it a one score game, but chokes in the clutch once again with an INT on the potential game winning drive. Code:
QB Fassero 15-30-231-2-2 WR Branch 3-74-1 ILB Newton 13 tackles, 6 assists ILB Kennedy 12 tackles, 3 assists DE Arteaga 7 tackles, 2 assists, 1.5 sacks *To make matters worse, we lose WR Kirk Holmberg for 4 weeks. *New recruits: ILB Deion Brutley - #642 Overall, #40 ILB TE Mo Romine - #61 TE *Stanford beat Arizona 31-14 *LSU and Texas A&M remain undefeated for the top two spots.

Week 13: Idaho (6-3) at Troy (6-3)
Now this was a crazy game. We come out completely flat and Troy builds a 23-0 lead early in the 3rd quarter. We then score 35 consecutive points, including a 91 yard fumble return, to take a 35-23 lead. Troy mounts their own comeback, scoring a TD with 3 minutes left and forcing a three and out. With the ball at their own 27 and 2:01 left, our defense stops Troy on 4 straight plays to clinch the victory. This finally puts us at the 7 win mark. Code:
QB Fassero 22-35-252-2-3 WR Branch 7-81-1 WR Parrish 1-80-1 ILB Newton 13 tackles, 4 assists, 1 INT ILB Kennedy 10 tackles, 1 assist *New recruit: DT Cary McKenzie - #65 DT *LSU and Texas A&M stay undefeated, but 1 loss Michigan jumps them in the rankings and is now #1.

Week 14: Idaho (7-3) at #14 Boise State (8-2)
We still have some improvements to make before we can beat Boise State. They simply have more talent than us. The game is especially hopeless once Luther goes down in the 1st quarter. Our offense falls apart without him and can only manage some garbage time points. Code:
QB Fassero 15-31-189-1-2 WR Keith 4-62-1 S Fisk 7 tackles, 4 assists, 1 INT CB Goetti 5 tackles, 3 assists, 1 INT *Luther will require Reconstructive Knee Surgery and be out for 44 weeks. Oooof! *Arizona completes another winless season with a 37-0 defeat at the hands of rival Arizona State. *The big question going into next week's games is if LSU and Texas A&M win their conference championship games, will they jump ahead of idle Michigan for a spot in the title game?

*Our season is over and we don't get invited to a bowl. We finally broke through to the 7 win mark. *LSU beats Tennessee 40-10 in the SEC championship and jumps up to #1 in the rankings. *Texas A&M beats Nebraska 21-13 in the Big 12 championship, but that's not enough to move them up to #2. *Very controversial decision here as 1 loss Michigan makes the title game over undefeated Texas A&M. The decider was strength of schedule: Michigan (25th), Texas A&M (78th). *FB Zach Woodard agrees to come to Idaho as a walk-on. We don't play FB's, so I recruit academic walk-ons to fill those spots in the depth chart.

*We nab a stud Tackle, a very good QB/WR combo and some quality depth on defense. However, I did have to settle for a couple guys outside the top 1000 to round out the class.

2008 Idaho Roster and Rankings
Definitely our best squad yet. National Ranking: 65th Sun Belt Ranking: 3rd Starters in bold Code:
Tough decision to be made here. Fassero had a boost in his ratings (same scout). Stuvaints has more overall potential, but also a much worse Avoid INT rating. I was really hoping to move on from Fassero, but I think I'll have to let him start the season. Pierce is the QB of the future and will get the shirt. Code:
Luther's injuury was so bad that he has 11 more weeks to heal, so Phillips will get the start at first. Kemp will be needed as a backup right away. Code:
Finally some depth at WR and I'm able to give the shirt to both Freshmen. My new TE recruit is terrible. I will look for a good one next recruiting class. Code:
We finally have some depth on the line and I'm able to redshirt all of my recruits. Code:
Special Teams look to be good this year. Code:
I still lack depth here, but since I was able to get two recruits at both DE and DT, I'm able to shirt one and play the other. Brill and McKenzie get the shirt. Code:
Very strong group here. Newton is a stud. Both freshmen get the shirt. Code:
Person was suspended for getting into a bar fight over the summer. This will leave me with only 3 CB's. I still give Hanks the shirt and will pull it if injuries pile up. Isaacson also gets the shirt.

Week 1: Navy (0-0) at Idaho (0-0)
Well the tough decision I had about QB was made easier this week. Fassero earned himself a demotion with a miserable game where he threw 5 INT's, including two pick sixes. This was a very winnable game and a terrible way to start the season. Code:
QB Fassero 20-41-244-2-5 RB Phillips 17-82-1, 6-55-0 WR Holmberg 4-75-0 ILB Newton 15 tackles, 5 assists OLB Fisk 9 tackles, 3 assists, 1 INT, 1 TD CB Nutter 3 tackles, 3 assists, 1 INT *We lose backup ILB Zach Kennedy for 6 weeks. *UNLV beats Arizona 47-0.
