The Making of a Legend. The Career of Coach Scott CF25

[redsox907]

The offense did their thing, but your defense stepped up after a shaky start. 6 sacks and only 8 completions for Herring whew.

I'm sure Bowling Green looks easy on paper, but for some reason those mid-major schools always play tough. In a different dynasty I lost a 3peat to Charlotte with a 78 overall roster and somehow it was my toughest game of the season and ended my 55 game win streak too lol

Bowling Green is a Top-10 ranked Defense in the National Stats, but they only average 30 PPG, so on paper I am still a 2 touchdown favorite. They are 84 Overall/84 Offense/88 Defense.

I am going to check out the Heisman sliders for next season. It weird I will have close games for awhile then all of a sudden I will have 3 or 4 blowouts wins. I am also going to go harder with the non-conference schedule moving forward. The Big 12 has had it's share of Top-25 teams but I still want to start playing schools like Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan, Arkansas more often during the season, even if it means a couplle early season loss's. Honestly though at this rate I am replacing 9 graduating Seniors with 11-5* recruits so I don't really see TTU losing #1 status even next year. Right now Linebacker is my biggest need. But I just upgrade my recruiting so I get a extra 10 hours next year on LB's, so I will probably hit it hard..

TTU MAKES HISTORY

Bowling Green came into the game with a Top-10 Defense and it showed as they held TTU off the scoreboard in the 1st Quarter (0-0). But the Red Raiders wasted little time playing catchup in the 2nd Quarter as they score 4 times to take a (28-0) lead into the locker room as RS FR QB Freddie Vildor hits 4 different WR's for scores (Addison 53 yds), (Head 67 yds) Hatfield (53 yds) and Murray (15 yds).

Vildor then added a 15 yd TD run in the 3rd well finding TE Kevin Pickering for a 35 yd score to extend the lead to (42-0) as we head to the 4th..

Bowling Green's D finally came alive again in the 4th, as they pick off Vildor to stop a scoring drive. But the Offense continued to struggle as they manage just 181 yds of Total Offense including just 80 yds through the air as SO QB J. Kumah connects on just 8/23 (34%).

TTU would extend the lead to (56-0) as Morton and Byham both add rushing scores still with 4 minutes to play.

Bowling Green would finally get on the scoreboard as they pick off backup QB Stetson Hollman after pinning TTU on the 4yd line with a beautiful 59 yd punt. MLB David Riggins takes the INT and turns it into a "Pick 6"..

FINAL SCORE TEXAS TECH-56 BOWLING GREEN-7

KEY PLAYERS

QB F. Vildor-18/35 (51%) 443 yds 5 TD 1 INT, 23 yds rushing 1 TD
RB N. Morton-15 carries 126 yds 1 TD
RB S. Byham-5 carries 37 yds 1 TD
RB JJ Robert 5 carries 41 yds
WR F. Addison-6 rec 145 yds 1 TD
WR B. Head-3 rec 115 yds 1 TD
WR R.Hatfield-2 rec 78 yds 1 TD
WR L. Murray-1 rec 15 yds
TE K. Pickering-5 rec 78 yds

TTU has now scored at least 60 points or more in their last 4 games dating back to Week 13 @ Baylor after finishing the regular season with a National Best 44.4 PPG..

[U#7 (13-2) ]MICHIGAN VS #6 (11-3) OREGON[/u]

After watching the blowout win by Texas Tech, College Football fans were excited to finally watch a great game that saw the Wolverines and Ducks battle into Overtime!!!

Tied (7-7) as the end of the 1st and tied (14-14) at the half, Michigan would take a (28-21) lead into the 4th, but Oregon ties the game with less then a minute to play to force OT..

Both teams would settle for FG's on their opening series, Oregon manages a score a TD on their 2nd series as RS SO QB Tyrone Russ (86 ovr) hits RS SO WR Rico Urban (86 ovr) for his 3rd TD of the game. The Ducks then leave the Offense on the field as they convert the 2pt play to make it (39-31).

Facing the need for a TD, Michigan answers the call as RS SO Johnnie Hass (82 ovr) scores his 2nd rushing TD of the day, but faced with the need to convert the 2pt play, the Wolverines come up short as Oregon is headed to the National Championship for the first time since 2025 when they lost to Clemson.

You accidentally posted this in my USC thread lol

"I have had 12 loss's in my career and Oregon was actually responsible for my 1st and I can still remember it like it was yesterday, despite it being 9 years ago.. Well TTU and Oregon are not natural rivals, it's safe to say the Ducks are my rivals."

"People talk about the year that Freddie had, but Tyrone Russ had a pretty great year too (4449 yds 40 TD 9 INT, 308 yds rushing 1 TD), SR RB JC Spitzer 81 ovr (811 yds 8 TD) is a solid RB and the Trio of WR's SO R. Urban (85 rec 1628 yds 14 TD), JR F Dhamania (68 rec 1037 yds) and SR F. Bowie (68 rec 944 yds 12 TD) is one of the best in the nation."

That offense will need to be at the top of their game though if they are going to match the output of TTT that is favored by 14 points to win their 4th Natty.

RED RAIDERS WIN #4!!!!

Texas Tech makes history joining the Minnesota Gophers (1934,1935,1936) as the only other team to win 3 straight championships in College Football in the past 100 years, as Phil Knight once again fails to buy the Ducks a National Title.

GAME RECAP

Oregon jumped out to a (14-0) lead as Freddie Vildor is picked off on the opening drive but TTU answers back after a Oregon score with 1 play as Freddie Vildor hits Brian Head on a 72 yd bomb to make it (14-7) at the end of the 1st Quarter. Head and Vidor would hook up for TD #2 midway through the 2nd Quarter as both teams go into the locker room tied (14-14).

Texas Tech opened up the 2nd half with a 9 play drive capped by a 27 yd TD strike from Vildor to "King" Felix Addison to give TTU the lead, but the Ducks answer back as JC Spitzer takes the handoff 28 yds for the score to tie the game again (21-21).

A Vildor INT killed the Red Raiders chance at taking the lead into the 4th but Oregon fails to capitalize leaving it a tied game.

TTU takes the lead midway through the 4th as Vildor and Addison hook up for their 2nd TD of the day to give Texas Tech the (28-21) lead, but Oregon again answers the call as backup RB SO Jimmy Wood (82 ovr) finishes off a 11 play drive with a 1 yd score to tie the game (28-28) with 2:12 to play.

Coach Scott knew at this point the winner of the game would most likely be whoever had the ball last.. With Vildor already having thrown 2 INT in the game, took no chances as the Red Raiders use 7 plays to get the ball inside the Redzone and after forcing Oregon to burn all 3 of their timeouts, TTU sends out JR PK Doug Khaled with 5 seconds to play in the game to kick a chip shot FG (17 yds) for the game winner. The kick is good, as TTU takes the crown...

FINAL SCORE TEXAS TECH-31 OREGON -28

KEY PLAYERS

RB N. Morton-11 carries 27 yds,, 3 rec 30 yds
