#24 Mississippi State - Bye Week

Two human games this week .. the Big 12 battle between Logan and Ironhead should be a war.

Note to KWhit - Karl, USF's owner, had his XBox stolen so you might be playing the CPU this week, but I'll keep you posted.

Good luck all!

DeToxRox · 09-03-2008, 02:25 PM

I __HATE__ EA.

For the third time I get the dirty disc. It happened twice in RFL, and now once here. I keep forgetting to load up the Xbox the proper way to cut down on the DDE.

Logan · 09-03-2008, 02:53 PM

Finally, a game against a human.

How's your schedule looking Ironhead? I may be able to play tonight (10ish, possibly earlier), tomorrow and Friday are both not looking great, Saturday I can do before 2 but I have a wedding so that could get dicey, Sunday should be free all day/night. Going out of town for work midday Monday so I can even do Monday morning if you're around.

I have no clue what to expect...don't think he and I have matched-up yet on XBL. Nevertheless, this is the start of why I picked this conference.

DeToxRox · 09-03-2008, 03:04 PM

Ugh, we lose to Texas 56-35, though the game was within 6 in the fourth quarter. From that point I threw a pick six to go down 13, and was forced to throw the rest of the time resulting in three and outs and more INT's. Texas was able to get short fields and buried me by 21.

This one hurt as we had a dozen players visiting.

PurdueBrad · 09-03-2008, 04:14 PM

Woot! Well, no game this week, but my two soft commits moved to firm commits so Miss. St. is welcoming in a 4* athlete and a 3* DE.

Radii · 09-03-2008, 04:30 PM

NC State gets a big win over #25 Boston College to get their record back up to 3-3.

BC scored on a 60 yard TD pass on their first play, and got a 70 yard run for a TD early in the 3rd quarter. Other than that, we had them shut down and they struggled the entire game. We got 4 field goals in the first half(trailed 13-12 at the half) before finally getting it going and breaking out for 4 second half touchdowns to win.

NC State 39
Boston College 20

RB Jamelle Eugene was out for 2 quarters, which allowed us to get two backs over 100 yards. Eugene had 109 yards and 1 TD, backup Andre Brown had 123 yards and 2 TDs.

I was a bit nervous about this one. I don't usually struggle against BC in single player, but a loss would have dropped me to 2-4 with FSU, UNC, and Miami still on the schedule and worried about even making a bowl.

Tonight would work pretty well. We would need to start after 10 PM tonight though.

cmp · 09-03-2008, 05:33 PM

Well maybe my Arkansas team is for real. #3 Florida comes into town and we destroy them, 49-3.

One big loss though is starting running back Michael Smith left early in the first half with a concussion and will miss a few weeks. We'll have to rely much more on Ryan Mallet throwing the ball like we did today.

Mallet went 43-52 with 372 yards and 5 touchdowns. London Crawford caught 18 passes for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. Crosby Tuck caught 12 passes and Rod Coleman also has 12 receptions. Total yards for the game were Arkansas 505, Florida 198. Midway through the 3rd we knocked out Tebow and his replacement Newton threw 4 picks.

Maybe next week now that were 5-0 with wins over Florida, Texas and Alabama we will be ranked.

When you say after 10, do you mean somewhere in the 10-10:30 range? Or more like midnight? If it's the former, that's fine...I'll log on to Live sometime around 10 and wait around.

DeTox, did you forget to switch cmp off junior varsity difficulty?

I should be on shortly after 10 PM

Logan · 09-03-2008, 08:03 PM

Cool, see you then.

Logan · 09-03-2008, 10:15 PM

Me and Ironhead are finishing up a game. What's with the lack of being able to do mass subs?

Logan · 09-03-2008, 10:37 PM

Oklahoma State beats Texas A&M 38-17. Zac Robinson was on point, 16 for 21 for 300+ yards and 2 scores. Couldn't run the ball much but I think my receivers were too hard to handle for the A&M D.

Fun game Ironhead...I saved the highlights of your 1st score (a SICK move on an option run) and my second (the short pass to Woods that turned into an 84 yard TD) but my 360 froze when I went to upload one of them. I'll try to get them up tomorrow.

It was a good game. You played well and I just made way too many mistakes for a grind it out team.

Keep an eye on this guy fellas. Wouldn't be surprised to see Oklahoma State playing for the Big 12 championship this year.

Kodos · 09-03-2008, 11:43 PM

I ran into the no mass subs phenom in online dynasty games too. Really annoying.

wade moore · 09-04-2008, 06:26 AM

Meh.

With these new sliders I can't pass at ALL.

After going 2-8 with 3 interceptions and falling down 14-0 we can't come back and fall 17-10 against Maryland in a rivalry game with a ton of recruits visiting.

Ugh.

I have no idea how someone is crushing Florida.

Logan · 09-04-2008, 07:37 AM

Thanks Ironhead, hope so.

What made it scarier was that I was getting crushed by injuries during the game. I lost a starting DT for 2 weeks, an OL for a week, and Kendall Hunter, my starting RB, for 4 weeks. That led to both Ironhead and I pulling our QBs manually towards the end, and I started looking for plays to call that didn't have my stud TE on the field.

Heh, I wish I could say that was why I pulled McGee. He was simply stinking up the joint. His replacement didn't do much better though.

Kodos · 09-04-2008, 08:15 AM

It's incomprehensible why they would take the mass subs option away when it is available in regular dynasties.

Haha...sorry. Figured it was that way since it was late. BTW, hope you didn't take issue with me going for that 4th and 2 on my first drive. I know I was in FG range but I'm just not good at them, and I wanted to try to match your first score.

Especially when it's really encouraging sportsmanship.

Well, since IU is just made up of a second stringers anyway, what's the point?

Kodos · 09-04-2008, 12:53 PM

Laugh it up before we kick your Wolverine asses next season.

Oh, and we're undefeated so far. How about you guys?

DeToxRox · 09-07-2008, 02:56 PM

Bump for KWhit. Karl is in autopilot mode until his XBox issues are resolved.

KWhit · 09-08-2008, 09:41 AM

Played (and lost) last night. I hate Pitt's QB. I cannot help but throw 3-4 INTs per game.
