I like it. Nice & simple, to the point. Only thing I'd recommend is a small photo.

I've always considered doing a Kansas dynasty. Nothing I find more fun then creating a blue-collar powerhouse in the Midwest. In the pass-happy Big 12, I'd opt instead for a ground-and-pound offense w/ physical defense.

Thanks for the constructive criticism. If I were to add photos, though, it wouldn't be ones from the game because I don't have a capture card or anything like that. I could use pictures for rivalry games and such, though.

Shootout

In a game with over 1000 yards of passing, Kansas wins 55-52 to surprise everyone with a 4-0 record.

Kansas's Big 12 opener was truly a Big 12 game: pass heavy. Both teams' quarterbacks combined for over 7 touchdowns, over 1000 yards of passing, and 2 pick sixes to create a truly offensive shootout.

Both QBs had their game of the season. Texas Tech QB Davis Webb threw for a near-Big 12 record 646 yards (the record was held by Texas Tech QB B.J. Symons with his 661 yard game vs Ole Miss in 2003), 4 TDs, and an interception. He also broke Kliff Kingsbury's Big 12 record set in 2002 for most completions (the record was 49, now it is 51). On the other hand, Kansas QB Jake Heaps threw for a season-high 395 yards, as well as 3 TDs and a pick.

The Jayhawks also had success on the ground, with halfback James Sims rushing for 235 yards on 32 carries.

One reason why the game was so high scoring was the quick pace at which touchdowns were scored. Jake Heaps's three touchdowns were are 50+ yards, with two being 70+ yards. Two of these (the longest, 76, and shortest, 52) were scored by wide receiver Andrew Travilli, who racked up 181 receiving yards on the day.

After only three points in the first quarter and a second quarter that belonged to Kansas, it was 17-13 in favor of Kansas. However, the second half was an explosion of offense, with there being 46 points scored in the third quarter. Kansas led by as much as 15, but Texas Tech pulled the game back with a touchdown and a pick six in consecutive possessions to tiw the game at 38. They took the lead 45-41, but Kansas answered back with a taste of the Red Raiders' medicine, getting a TD and pick six in consecutive possessions to take the lead 55-45. TTU scored a touchdown, but could not get a second as Kansas pulled off the win.

Kansas travels to Fort Worth, TX next week for their toughest game of the season so far: a game at the 17th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs (4-1, 2-0).

Scratched Up

Kansas forces 3OT thriller, but loses 50-44 for its first loss on the season.

Very few expected Kansas to keep it close against 17th-ranked TCU in Fort Worth, but Kansas played one of their best games all season, coming back from a two-touchdown deficit and forcing overtime, but ultimately falling due to a Jake Heaps interception - his only one on the day - in triple overtime.

Jake Heaps was having a great day before the INT, and he ended up throwing for 287 yards and 2 TDs, as well as the pick. The INT wasn't a careless throw, it was just a risky one into double coverage that occurred on Kansas's first offensive play in triple OT (TCU had scored and missed their 2-pt conversion). "It's not his fault we lost. He had a great game" said Coach Bradwell during the post-game press conference. "In fact, the entire team had a great game. We proved that we aren't pushovers like everyone thinks that we are."

The Jayhawks were less effective on the ground than previously, but that might've been becuase they opted to give Darrius Miller more carries than usual due to his performances. He finished with 18 yards on 11 carries, while James Sims ran for 95 yards on 20 carries.

TCU's offense completely dominated the Jayhawks defense, with somphomore quarterback Trevone Boykin (starting over senior Casey Pachall) passing for 314 yards, 2 TDs, and an INT while also running for 130 yards on 24 carries. Running back B.J. Catalon had quite a day as well, amassing the same amount of yards but in only 18 carries.

Kansas took the early advantage, put TCU put up 14 unanswered to lead 14-7. The teams would trade field goals in the second quarter before Kansas tied it at 17. TCU got another 14 unanswered to lead 31-17 at the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Kansas got two touchdowns to tie it at 31. TCU scored with less than a minute left to take the lead 38-31, but only twenty seconds later, Jake Heaps found tight end Jimmay Mundine for a 66 yard strike to tie it up and force overtime.

The first two overtimes were just both teams settling for field goals, but in the third, TCU found found the end zone, with Boykin scoring on a 4 yard run. He tried to run again during the conversion, but he failed, making it 50-44. Jake Heaps threw the aforementioned pick on the next play.

After the devestating loss, Kansas will return home to get a chance at Oklahoma, who is struggling this year with a record of 3-3 (2-1).

[Dawgfan1]

After playing the first five games of the season, I feel like I have not been challenged enough to win games (particularly the game against Texas Tech). Therefore, for the Oklahoma game, I made the following slider changes:

User:
Lowered RB Ability from 25 to 20

CPU:
Raised WR Catching from 45 to 50
Raised Pass Coverage from 55 to 60
Raised Tackling from 45 to 50

Also, after playing the Oklahoma game, I decided to lower the quarter length to 9 minutes, as it seemed that the yardages were too high and there were too many plays in a game.

You don't need a capture card.

I've been taking pics with my phone and tablet since I started out, and they've come out fine.

All you do is post them to photobucket/imgur/other photo hosting site from that device, log on to the photo hosting account on your computer, copy the link and paste it here.

For Kansas, it's not necessarily the offensive style for me, it's the history. They suck. They've sucked at football for years. They have little history. Especially this year (2015), they have very little to work with. Anyway...
