I think that is the book I helped co-author. After watching Boise State not play for a National Title for the past 5 years. At least I know I the title.

How I just have to hope it becomes a #1 Best seller.

They're all for a 16 team playoff, which would take place over 4 weekends. 11 conference winners get automatic bids, 5 at large bids. And then for teams that don't make the playoffs, they'd still get to play in like bowl games. (i.e. Wisconsin didn't make the playoffs, but they were like 8-4, they'd still get to play in a bowl game). And I guess from expert predictions the playoff system would make about $600 million more than BCS does.

I haven't read it all yet (obviously, I just got it and its abotu 200 pages) but I can already tell it's a fantastic book.

Okay I think I have decided to recreate the recruits next year. With everyone rated a 85. I might not make you a starter in year 1 but atleast by your JR and SR you will.


So plan to go back and create all 3 of the McLaughling Brothers..

Oviously the chances of your player signing with the same school is slim, hopefully Hogs will get his dream and have JeMarcus Green sign with Arkansas again

So this is what I would like from each of you who have submitted a player or those of you who have submitted 2 or 3.

Please send me a PM with a bio about your player. What High School they played at, Playoff victories, State Championships. If you would like to write a interview style format where you talk about what school you sign at that would be awesome too.

a possible McLaughlin to McLaughlin with Mclaughlin protecting the blindside damn thats gonna be confusing for the reporters and commintators lol

Yeah but well worth it in the end I hope. I already took them from a 1* to a 2* with my 7 wins and bowl trip to the Holiday Bowl. Granted I got my butt kicked by Texas, but it was just good to get the Cougs back in a bowl game.

So far this year it's been injury filled and a roller coaster again, but I just got down playing the Utah game and things are looking up I think.

Week 8 against UCLA is huge. It's only my 2nd home game of the season and I have like 12 players visiting. I am currently sitting at #1 on 14-3* caliber players and 2nd on 6-3* caliber players. (I have a recruiting rule where I can only recruit 1* better then my school unless it is a created recruit by someone on the boards) If I can land 15-20 3* Caliber players my depth will be much better going into Year 3 and my 3 stud transfer players including RB D. Williams (Oregon) will be a huge lift for my Overall talent.

WEEK 7



(2-2) VS (3-2)

GAME PREVIEW

Last year when these 2 teams met WSU was 5-5 looking for win #6 to get bowl elgible. Utah was 7-2 and ranked #24 in the Nation. The Cougars however had the "MO" on their side and pulled off the upset win at home 31-28 in the final 2 minutes.

Utah started out strong this year going 3-0, but lost Heisman QB J. Wynn in the lost to Washington (49-42) and fell 45-17 to UCLA, but the the return trip home, they will look to revenge last year's final minute loss. However they will have to do it without QB J. Wynn.

Wynn is gone for the season with a dislocated hip. He had completed 117/159 for 1715 yds 20 TD's and only 4 INT.

WSU gets SR QB Jeff Tuell back after missing the past 5 weeks since breaking 3 ribs in the win over Norte Dame. Tuell had completed 9/14 passes for 120 yds and 2 TD's before going down.


GAME RECAP

Utah would win the toss and elect to recieve?? The Utes would run 3 straight run plays and where forced to punt. WSU would get on the scoreboard 1st with a 17 yd TD pass from Tuell to Barton. Then a rare sighting as WSU Linebacker A. Burns picks off G. Robles and returns it 29 yds to help set up a 2 yd TD run by R. Mayfield as WSU takes a 14-0 lead after the 1st Quarter.

The Cougars would own the 2nd Quarter as well. Mayfield would run in his 2nd TD of the game (1yd out) and with less then a minute to play SS J. Mathews would go 90 yds on a fumble recovery scoring a TD to make it 28-0. Again the Cougar "D" would hold and Utah was forced to punt with 14 seconds to play in the half. Jeff Tuell would convience Coach Dodge to give him a chance to put the ball in the endzone and it almost worked as Gino Simone caught a 48 yd bomb but was tackled at the 2yd as time had expired.

Utah would finally show some life in the 3rd Quarter scoring 3 TD's including a 93 yd bomb from Robles to L. Mathews. Tuell would drive his team down the field under a minute though as he set up to throw his 2nd TD of the game, instead the ball was picked off in the endzone but a huge hit by TE S. Stormo forced the fumble and Stormo fell on the ball for the Defensive TD, to make it 35-21

The Cougar "D" would step up in the 4th forcing turnovers on 4th down 3 times and Coach Dodge would look to run out the clock not wanting to take any chances. With 40 seconds to play R. Parrish would add a 40 yd FG.

FINAL SCORE WSU-38 UTAH-21

POST GAME COMMENTS BY COACH DODGE

"This game was a huge win for us. I really thought the "D" played pretty well tonight. Creating 3 turnovers is a 1st for me in any game I have coached. Yeah we gave up 1 big play but Overall they did great holding them to just 93 yds on the ground. I thought Tuell played well in his 1st game back getting 300 yds. Mayfield is still struggling to be the #1 back and we will continue this week at practice looking at getting other players involved. WR I Barton continues to show he is a true playmaker, watching him take the WR sweep 43 yds was a play of beautiful. I am sure that once Tuell and him form a connection they could be unstoppable."
