Your DE position looks strong for the next few years.

Are you quick simming these games?

Yea. I was playing them out at first, but always felt like the stats were bad and I was winning games that I shouldn't have won, so I started this dynasty as a quick-sim. I'm losing most games that I should be losing now, but the occasional upset is still there.

I have the most fun recruiting anyway, so this is the best way for me to play, I think. I have my Online Dynasty to play out the games.

Yep you are right. I do like the guys I ended up getting and last year's class was pretty solid. I should be okay.

Another great national championship game! Down 39-36 with 15 seconds left, Oklahoma, from the two yard line, threw a TD pass to take the lead. After picking up the two point conversion, they prevented a miracle from USC, winning the game 42-39!

Final Score: Oklahoma 42, USC 39

[JetsIn06]

2009 Recap:

I was prepared for another bad season after starting out 1-3, and was even worried about my job security. But we won every single game from that point on, and even won our bowl game. Recruiting didn't go as well as we hoped, but there's nothing wrong with solid depth and many of last year's recruits will hit the field for the first time. We're excited about the future.

Here are some stat leaders:

QB Jabu Lovelace. SR(RS). 164-247, 2047 Yards, 24 TD's-7 INT's

RB Kordell Young. JR(RS). 230 Att. 1199 Yards. 5.2 YPC. 10 TD's

WR Kenny Britt. SR. 50 Receptions. 598 Yards. 11.9 YPR. 6 TD's.

OLB Manny Abreu. SO(RS). 80 Tackles.

OLB Manny Abreu. SO(RS). 6 Sacks.

SS Joe Lefeged. JR. 4 INT's

[JetsIn06]

Wow.

I actually didn't even know this could happen. We've been offered a position in the ACC to replace Duke. Not entirely sure what to do here.

[JetsIn06]

I've decided to join the ACC.

It could mean a poor record for the next year or two, but I think we'll be happy we did it in the long run.

[JetsIn06]

2010 Off-Season

Players Leaving

Oh...hell no. Cody Richardson was promised a starting role and solid playing time, and he got it, and still decides to transfer? And Caleb Ruch declaring for the draft with only two seasons under his belt? Hell no. I'm gonna have to try and convince these guys to stay now.

Phew. I convinced both to stay but used up two hours of my recruiting time.

As for the graduating seniors, a new era starts at Rutgers with Lovelace leaving. D.C. Jefferson, a sophomore, now has the reigns. Losing Britt hurts as well.

We lost quite a few defensive starters, but I'm excited about seeing the new guys step in.

Roster Cuts

In order to get down to 70 players, we cut the following four players:

HB Rashad White
DT Marcus Lee
CB Al-Majid Hutchins
DT Jamiel Farrington

[JetsIn06]

2010 Pre-Season Notes

Returning Starters:

11 (6 Offense, 5 Defense)

Key Losses:

WR Kenny Britt

Britt was the anchor of our passing attack, and now we turn it over to a bunch of freshmen and sophmores.

CB Devin McCourty

He was our one true solid player in the secondary last season, and losing him could hurt quite a bit. We may have to start a first year player.

WR Tim Brown

He was a small guy, but fast as hell. We'll miss him in the slot.

MLB Ryan D'Imperio

He was a great tackler and a solid leader on defense.

#4 Chris Paul-Etienne. 6'2", 200 lbs. SR(RS). 83 OVR
#1 D.C. Jefferson. 6'6", 230 lbs. SO(RS). 81 OVR
#18 Antoine Martindale. 6'1", 196 lbs. FR(RS). 73 OVR

Outlook:

It's the beginning of a new era in Rutgers football. D.C. Jefferson will get the ball on opening day, and hopefully do enough this year to prove he should be our starter for the next three seasons.

[JetsIn06]

The 2010 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Running Backs

Starter
Redshirting


#8 Kordell Young. 5'9", 185 lbs. SR(RS). 88 OVR
#24 Mason Robinson. 5'10", 180 lbs. SR. 83 OVR

#19 Jim Clarke. 6'1", 210 lbs. FR. 68 OVR
#27 Sean Tatum. 6'3", 205 lbs. JR. 67 RS


Outlook:

This is the last year of Young and Robinson, and I can't wait to see Mills and Mitchell in action. Young has improved a ton and should be impressive in his final season.

[JetsIn06]

The 2010 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Fullbacks

Redshirting


#37 Andres Morales. 6'2", 260 lbs. SR(RS). 80 OVR
#39 Jourdan Brooks. 6'1", 255 lbs. JR(RS). 79 OVR

Outlook:

It's tough finding solid recruits at this position, but I'm gonna have to try harder this year with Morales getting ready to graduate.

#88 Darrell Estes. 6'6", 203 lbs. FR. 67 OVR
#80 Chad Harris. 5'11", 163 lbs. FR. 67 OVR


Outlook:

I'm not entirely thrilled with this group this year. We're incredibly young and inexperienced here, but I hope that the potential that is there is realized quickly.

#82 Jeff Minemyer. 6'7", 260 lbs. SR(RS). 73 OVR
#89 Stephen Howard. 6'6", 278 lbs. FR. 51 OVR

Outlook:

Dug myself into a hole here. I'm absolutely going to need a decent recruit here next year or I'll be stuck with Howard starting.

Right Guard

#60 Caleb Ruch. 6'4", 290 lbs. JR(RS). 85 OVR

Right Tackle

#69 Art Forst. 6'8", 290 lbs. SO(RS). 83 OVR
#79 Richard Muldrow. 6'6", 300 lbs. JR(RS). 82 OVR
#63 Bo Harris. 6'4", 306 lbs. FR. 68 OVR

Outlook:

With our anchor of the line, LT Anthony Davis, graduating this year, I'm worried about the future of the line. I still haven't gotten that elite recruit I've been looking for, but now I'm under a lot of pressure to get it done soon.

#94 Ben Wade. 6'2", 246 lbs. FR(RS). 71 OVR

#90 Brad Bly. 6'6". 260 lbs. FR. 70 OVR
#98 Nathan Ross. 6'7". 228 lbs. FR. 67 OVR

Outlook:

Oh boy. I can't wait to see Fred Page out on the field. The DT position looks pretty set for the future. I'll lose both DE's at the end of the year, but I am excited about the young guys.

[JetsIn06]

The 2010 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Linebackers

Starter
Redshirting

Left Outside Linebacker

#16 Lance Adams. 5'11", 219 lbs. FR(RS). 78 OVR
#59 Lee Hambly. 6'1", 228 lbs. FR(RS). 76 OVR
#53 Jim Dumont. 6'1", 215 lbs. SR(RS). 74 OVR

Middle Linebacker

#50 Antonio Lowery. 6'2", 220 lbs. SR. 83 OVR
#56 Eric LeGrand. 6'2", 240 lbs. SO(RS). 78 OVR
#58 James Cross. 6'3", 220 lbs. FR. 69 OVR
#55 Mike Hawkins. 6'3", 226 lbs. FR. 66 OVR

Right Outside Linebacker

#51 Manny Abreu. 6'3", 220 lbs. JR(RS). 91 OVR
#57 Antonio Alvarez. 6'1", 210 lbs. FR(RS). 78 OVR
#52 Russ Bishop. 6'3", 194 lbs. FR. 60 OVR

Outlook:

I'm worried about Abreu declaring for the draft after this year, and also about where LeGrand can take over the starting job. Adams and Hambly look like they can do it, and they'll most likely be battling it out for the starting job for the next four pre-seasons.

[JetsIn06]

The 2010 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Cornerbacks

Starter
Redshirting

#86 Clayton House. 6'0", 194 lbs. JR. 76 OVR

#40 David Rowe. 5'10", 195 lbs. JR. 74 OVR
#47 Bobby Austin. 6'1", 190 lbs. FR(RS). 73 OVR
#36 Fred Henderson. 6'5", 231 lbs. FR(RS). 71 OVR
#34 J.T. Cook. 5'11", 185 lbs. FR. 60 OVR

Outlook:

Yuck. House and Rowe shouldn't be starting but I have no other choice. Wilson should be a great player though and will take over next year barring a disaster.

[JetsIn06]

The 2010 Rutgers Scarlet Knights:

Safeties

Starter

Free Safeties

#9 Cody Richardson. 6'3", 216 lbs. SO. 79 OVR

#84 Morgan Carter. 6'3", 215 lbs. SO(RS). 78 OVR
#23 Derek Hutchinson. 6'0", 186 lbs. FR. 63 OVR


Outlook:

I'm expecting great things from Richardson, as long as he stays happy. I talked him out of transferring after last year. Carter could be pretty solid as well if he has a nice camp next year.

2010 Recruiting

Pipeline:

Our pipeline states are NJ, NY, PA, and FL.

Major Needs:

Tight End: I actually need two, so this is a major need.

Left Tackle: With Anthony Davis leaving after this year, I need someone to protect my QB.

Center: My starter is graduating and his backup is still a WIP.

Minor Needs:

Fullback: Need someone here since I only have a JR and a SR at the spot right now.

Guard: Still looking for future starters, but I have a year cushion.

Free Safety: I love Richardson, but his commitment to our school scares me. I had to talk him out of transferring and ya never know if that will work next time.

Young ran 24 times for 127 yards and 2 TD's.

Jefferson played solid, going 18 for 29 with 3 TD's. Young was good as well, picking up 152 yards on the ground. We also were much better in pass protection.

The game went into overtime and we scored first, then held them off.

Mason Robinson was the main runner today, carrying the ball 29 times for 151 yards and 2 TD's. He also caught a TD.

Game:

Rutgers (3-4) at Wake Forest (4-4)

A defensive battle. We came out on top, but not without some bad news. We lost three players due to injury.

First, we lost our starting RB Young, who is out for the season with an elbow injury.

We also lost both starting guards. Newell is out for 4 weeks, and Lange is out for 7 weeks. Not good at all.

Final Score: Rutgers 10, Wake Forest 3

2010 Week Ten:

We lost a player, but luckily it was just a kicker. Peterson committed to Virginia.

We set up a visit with FB Bradley for Week 13 when we face Army.

4* SS Wyatt has soft committed to Texas Tech, and we set up a visit with ATH Hall for Week 12 when we face North Carolina.

Well, we didn't really have a chance against Clemson. We had 140 yards of total offense, compared to their 408. Jefferson went 7-20 for 40 yards and 1 INT.

The sad thing is we held them in the 1st quarter, but they scored on the opening play of the 2nd, and eventually scored 21 points in that quarter alone.

Game:

North Carolina (7-3) at Rutgers (4-5)

Great win by us this game. Weird game though. Our offense wasn't great. Each team had 5 sacks, but we were able to grind it out on the ground. Robinson had 130 yards but only 3.5 YPC.

We'll take it though.

Final Score: Rutgers 27, North Carolina 19
