B-Dawg hoists the crystal football after winning a natty at Western Michigan.

Guess who’s back, guess who’s back

Tell a friend: B-Dawg looks to create a monster at Air Force

The first clue of trouble in paradise was the headline: “Boredom setting in?”

B-Dawg had just led his Western Michigan Broncos to a 45-0 trouncing of Penn State, the Broncos’ third rout of a perennial national power in the 2024 season.

What should have been cause for celebration only sucked even more of B-Dawg’s enthusiasm as he improved to 8-0 in his 12th season at the helm after winning his first national championship the previous season.

Instead, he offered a cryptic quote that suggested he was about to turn in his controller and walk away from the game.

“I’ve had some life changes that have made coaching this team to another national championship less of a priority,” B-Dawg said at the time. “However, I’ve had nights in which I could’ve fired up the PS3, but the prospect of another blowout win didn’t seem exciting. I do have Ohio State sitting out there as my next opponent. We always get a great battle with Ohio State. I hope this next game is no different, even if we lose. Without the fear of losing, this game isn’t much fun.”

That game was posted on April 12, 2016.

Since then, it’s been radio silence from B-Dawg.

He played two more games that were never posted, trouncing Ohio State and Indiana to raise Western’s record to 10-0.

“I kept meaning to post those games, but then I figured, ‘Why bother?’” B-Dawg said. “The passion was gone.”

The “life changes” to which B-Dawg alluded was being in the first few months of a new relationship after his previous girlfriend of several years abruptly showed herself to be a cheating money-grubbing hoe who would rather be with guys who had money, even if they were fat MF’ers who didn’t treat her nearly as well. His new relationship turned into a marriage in November 2017.

B-Dawg was married before, but he began binge-playing NCAA Football and Madden well into the night starting in 2002 because, as he’s put it, “It wasn’t worth my while to go to bed early, if you know what I mean.” With a lot of free time on his hands and no sex life whatsoever, B-Dawg began posting his results almost daily at MaddenMania (pour a sip), first with the Detroit Lions in Madden 2003 and then the University of Michigan in NCAA 2004.

Fast-forward to 2016. The lack of excitement over the game, lack of free time and a change in priorities meant B-Dawg’s copy of NCAA ’14 began gathering dust. Oh, there would be sparks of interest in starting a dynasty as a new college football season began, but those sparks didn’t create any fire.

Then, on a cold winter day in January 2018, with an afternoon to kill before covering high school basketball that night, B-Dawg fired up the PS3 and started a new dynasty.

After scrolling through teams and imagining possibilities with each, he settled on Air Force for reasons we’ll get into later.

Unsure how things would go with so much time off and a switch from All-American to Heisman mode, B-Dawg decided to play a full season before he began posting his dynasty bit by bit. If the results seemed realistic enough, he would post. If not, nobody would ever know these games were played. He had no idea that, because of a combination of time availability and interest, it would take him until August of 2020 to complete the first season.

He began with 2018 rosters and nearly scrapped this and went to a dynasty with 2019 rosters and then 2020 rosters as he slowly worked his way through the first season. But he eventually got the bug to keep going and completed a season.

It took from Jan. 21, 2019 until Aug. 25, 2020 to play the first season. B-Dawg hopes to average one game a week now that he’s taken this ‘nasty out of the closet.

So, here we go. This won’t be a typical B-Dawg dynasty in terms of detail and pace of play, but by gradually posting games that have already been played, hopefully there won’t be long gaps between posts.

Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs is B-Dawg’s new home.

Why Air Force?
The most important decision in any dynasty is selecting a team.

Do you run with your favorite team? Do you rebuild a struggling program in a power conference? Do you take a team from a mid-major and build it to national prominence, switching to a power conference along the way?

B-Dawg has rolled with his favorite team, Michigan, in three dynasties. That becomes way too easy way too soon. He’s used all three Mid-American Conference teams from Michigan, so another season in the MAC would have been mind-numbing.

The most intriguing crappy school in a power conference is Vanderbilt, but B-Dawg coached the Commodores in NCAA 2007.

B-Dawg is a patriotic sort who has always been intrigued with the military schools. He played an Army dynasty in NCAA 2003 that wasn’t posted. At the time, he considered coaching Army to a national championship, switching to Navy or Air Force, doing the same, then going to the final school. That seemed too time-consuming.

B-Dawg settled on Air Force, because it’s a military school and plays in the Mountain West Conference. That means playing on the beloved Smurf Turf at Boy-Z State every other year.

So, why not just run with Boy-Z State if he has such a fetish for blue fields? Well, that would be too easy, as the Broncos are a powerhouse in the Mountain West. A powerhouse team in a middling conference sounds like the worst dynasty imaginable.

Did you say Heisman mode? (Gulp!)
B-Dawg readily admits he’s not the best player out there.

As such, he doesn’t play manually and clings to All-American mode like a child does its security blanket.

But even coming up with sliders that favor the CPU in All-American mode creates a fairly easy game if you play regularly enough.

Heisman mode, however, scares the crap out of B-Dawg any time someone suggests it. Before playing this dynasty, he messed around with some Heisman mode games with default sliders, and the results were promising. He had to work to make plays.

The sliders could be a work in progress as the season goes along, but he’s starting out with default sliders. Yes, we all want to have a challenge where the game doesn’t become too easy. But we don’t want the game to become an exercise in frustration that causes us to break our only remaining PS3 controller.

We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!
I’m not going to go overboard with dynasty rules, since I’m already handicapping myself by playing on Heisman mode and I won’t play as often.

I’m not going to get silly with recruiting restrictions, other than I can’t recruit any players from Canada for obvious reasons. As I got started with this dynasty, it was apparent that recruiting isn’t going to be unrealistically easy.

Game-play wise, I’ll use a created offensive and defensive playbook and use the “ask coach” feature to call plays, making exceptions occasionally in hurry-up offenses or to get third-and-one when “ask coach” doesn’t give me a simple HB dive. I’ll play nine-minute quarters.

Reasons for optimism
Air Force goes into this dynasty with a decided lack of talent, which is by design. What’s the sense of building a dynasty when the pieces are already in place?

Air Force is rated C OVR or 74 OVR, depending on your preference. The Falcons are C+ (77) on offense, C (73) on defense and D on special teams. There’s definitely room for improvement.

The cause for optimism in Colorado Springs, besides having a coaching legend take over the helm, is the presence of talented youngsters on the existing roster.

Six of Air Force’s best players are sophomores.

Donald Hammond, an 83 OVR sophomore, will be the starting quarterback. Sophomore defensive end Jordan Jackson is rated 85 OVR, tying for the highest rating on the team.

Sophomore Kadin Remsberg is an intriguing player, leading the running back corps at 76 OVR and leading the entire team with SEC-like 95 SPD. Sophomore outside linebacker Lakota Wills is 76 OVR, tops among linebackers.

Two of the top offensive linemen are sophomores: 74 OVR guard Nolan Laufenberg and 73 OVR tackle Parker Ferguson.

“I’m not sure what the progression is for a program like ours, but these guys could be beasts at our level by their senior years if the progression system is generous,” B-Dawg said.

Long-term goal
B-Dawg doesn’t want to slum it in the Mountain West Conference forever, regardless of the trip every other year to the glorious Smurf Turf.

The goal is to get the Falcons into the Pac-12 Conference to get better competition and more enticing matchups if they can begin to dominate the MWC first. Playing the same teams gets old after a while, so it’ll be nice to switch it up and play in the Pac-12.

At the pace B-Dawg has been playing this dynasty, it could be a few years of real time before Air Force reaches that level of prominence.

Synopsis: B-Dawg discovered a player who could go down as one of his all-time greats in sophomore running back Kadin Remsberg. Remsberg, whose 95 SPD made for mismatches against Mountain West Conference competition, set a school record with 1,406 receiving yards. B-Dawg transformed Air Force from a running team to a passing team, with the Falcons throwing for 4,125 yards. After a 3-4 start, Air Force won four straight games to secure a bowl bid. They were successful in that game, beating Eastern Michigan on a 5-yard catch by Geraud Sanders with 30 seconds left in the Military Bowl. Defense was a major concern for the Falcons, who allowed at least 30 points seven times.

Synopsis: B-Dawg missed a bowl game for the first time since his first season at Eastern Michigan in NCAA ’08, with all seven of his losses coming by seven points or less. Air Force lost its final three games, needing just one victory to clinch a bowl berth. Three of those losses were in overtime games during a four-game stretch around midseason. Turnovers in clutch situations doomed the Falcons. On the bright side, B-Dawg did have fun running up video game numbers with speedy halfback Kadin Remsberg, not as a runner, but as a receiver. Remsberg hauled in 82 passes for 1,502 yards. He has one season remaining, so B-Dawg will milk him as much as possible.

Synopsis: Air Force cracked the top 25 for the first time, getting as high as No. 24 before losing 47-23 to Memphis in the Poinsettia Bowl. This season marked the swan song for the three greatest players in this dynasty so far, as quarterback Donald Hammond, running back Kadin Remsberg and defensive end Jordan Jackson continued to pile up numbers and raise the expectations for the program. The team hit a big-time low when Colorado State beat the Falcons 72-40, the most points ever allowed by a B-Dawg team in any version of NCAA Football. That was Air Force’s second straight loss, but the team responded with seven straight victories before losing in the bowl game.

Synopsis: Junior running back Trey Taylor emerged from the shadows of Kadin Remsberg to win the first Heisman Trophy in Air Force history. The Falcons had a chance to do some really special things as a team, facing Boy-Z State in a showdown of 6-0 teams. However, Air Force blew a 28-7 halftime lead in a 41-31 loss to a team that would go on to win the Fiesta Bowl over Oklahoma. This was the first season post-Remsberg, meaning Air Force would need to find ways to win without chucking it deep to the speedy running back against mismatches at the first sign of trouble. With a 10-3 record, the Falcons did OK without Remsberg and fellow stars from the original roster Donald Hammond and Jordan Jackson, as seven players had at least 200 receiving yards and six had at least 32 catches.

Synopsis: It took five years, but B-Dawg finally got Air Force to a Mountain West Conference championship game, winning the title with a 42-33 victory over a UNLV team the Falcons trounced 52-14 two games earlier. The championship was nice, but the highlight of the season was a 23-17 victory at Boy-Z State, a perennial conference power that was 4-0 against Air Force until this season. Losses to Wyoming and San Diego State kept this from being a truly special season in Colorado Springs, but that just leaves more room for growth in the future. Trey Taylor actually had a better season than he did when he won the Heisman Trophy in 2021, but he didn’t get an invite to the Downtown Athletic Club, much less a second bronze statue. Freshman Jared Mann took away some of his goal-line touchdowns, so that may have made the difference.

Synopsis: B-Dawg won the 1,000th game of his coaching career, dating to NCAA 2004, in a 60-13 victory over Colorado State on Nov. 11. It was the one that got away that will haunt the 2023 Falcons, however. They were cruising along against Utah State, holding a 24-point third-quarter lead, but blew it in a 47-44 midseason loss. Air Force bounced back to move into No. 2 in the BCS rankings heading into conference champioinship week, won its game, but got bumped by Auburn for the berth in the national championship game. This was the dawn of the Chad Rice era at quarterback. The freshman signal caller threw for 3,225 yards and 16 touchdowns, putting him in a position to eventually break all of Air Force’

Synopsis: Air Force’s bid for a third straight Mountain West Conference championship was thwarted by Fresno State in the league title game. The 42-40 loss was the Falcons’ second loss of the season to the Bulldogs, marking only the third time B-Dawg has lost to the same team twice in the same season since he officially began his coaching career in NCAA 2004. Air Force was able to overcome a major blow when starting running back Jared Mann suffered a season-ending injury in his second carry of the year. Marion Benjamin stepped in and used his speed to finish second in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Mann and Benjamin will both be back in 2025.

Synopsis: The only thing that kept Air Force from playing for the national championwhip was a 34-31 loss at Texas in the second game of the season. The Longhorns won that game on an 8-yard touchdown pass with six seconds remaining. The Falcons won their final 12 games, but couldn't crack the top two in the BCS. As a nice consolation prize, Air Force went to the Sugar Bowl for the second time in three seasons, beating Virginia Tech. Halfback Jared Mann won the Heisman Trophy one year after suffering a season-ending injury on his second carry of the year. J.B. White set an all-time B-Dawg record for receptions in a season with 127 and strong safety DeAndre McCollum set a B-Dawg single-season record with 123 tackles. Making his tackle total even more impressive is that the second-leading tackler on the team had only 66.

Synopsis: Halfway through the regular season, Air Force was 3-3 and looking like a team that would battle just to get a bowl berth in its first season in the Pac-12 Conference. In a pivotal moment in the season, the Falcons made a 2-point conversion in the second overtime to beat UCLA in Game 7. Had they been stopped on that run by third-string halfback Justin Brown, the season could have been a disaster. Instead, the victory jump-started an eight-game winning streak that culminated with a 31-28 victory over Wisconsin in the national championship game in the Rose Bowl. Every national championship hopeful lost at least two games in 2026, opening the door for Air Force to grab the No. 2 spot in the final BCS rankings after falling to No. 22 in the coaches' poll following its 3-3 start. Quarterback Chad Rice (13,701 passing yards), J.B. White (297 catches) and DeAndre McCollum (422 tackles) finished their four-year careers with all-time records for a B-Dawg player.

Synopsis: Air Force had its first perfect season while repeating as national champion, only the second time B-Dawg has won back-to-back natties in a coaching career that goes back to NCAA 2004. He did it at Michigan in the 2009 and 2010 seasons of NCAA 2005. It was a record-setting year for quarterback Brandon Blount, who benefited from a great receiving corps. Freshman Paul Gibbons emerged as the star of this dynasty for at least the next three seasons, setting an all-time B-Dawg record with 20 touchdown catches. Blount finished third in Heisman Trophy voting. Even though Air Force had a perfect record, the Falcons had to rally from deficits of at least 14 points four times. The Falcons trailed 14-0 in the first quarter against Notre Dame, 31-16 in the third quarter against Oregon, 28-7 in the second quarter against Arizona, and 21-7 in the first quarter and 38-28 in the fourth against Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game.

Synopsis: B-Dawg won his third straight national championship, a first in a coaching career that dates back to his time at Michigan in NCAA 2004. The Falcons ended the season with a 36-game winning streak, the longest in B-Dawg's coaching career. Unlike the unbeaten 2027 team, which had to rally from four deficits of at least 14 points, the Falcons were dominant all season. Their closest games were 35-27 over USC and 31-21 over Navy in back-to-back weeks early in the season. Air Force won nine of the 16 college football awards, but quarterback Brandon Hester was only second in the closest Heisman Trophy vote in history. Florida State quarterback Antoine Williams edged Hester by a 1,327 to 1,324 margin in voting points. Hester became the first B-Dawg quarterback to reach 50 touchdown passes, finishing with 55. Until Brandon Blount threw for 49 in 2027, B-Dawg never had a quarterback with more than 35. Sophomore Paul Gibbons broke his own record for touchdown catches by a B-Dawg player with 21.

Synopsis: Air Force's run of three straight national championships ended, not on the field, but at the ballot box. The Falcons had the No. 2 spot in the BCS rankings heading into the Pac-12 championship game, which they won 48-28 over Oregon State. But Iowa vaulted from No. 3 to No. 1 in the final BCS rankings, bumping Air Force to No. 3. The Falcons had to "settle" for a rematch of the previous season's national championship game against Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl. Air Force won its final 13 games after losing its opener at Alabama, 33-31, on a last-second field goal. B-Dawg held out hope for the first split national championship of the BCS era, but the media poll actually gave Auburn a larger margin over Air Force than the coaches' poll, which is obligated to put the winner of the BCS championship game No. 1. Brandon Hester won the Heisman Trophy after a narrow loss the previous year, becoming the first B-Dawg quarterback to eclipse 5,000 passing yards with 5,025.

Synopsis: After winning the Pac-12 Conference championship in its first four seasons in the league, Air Force was in for a shocker this time around. Oregon jumped out to a 37-0 halftime lead in a 58-44 victory in the Pac-12 championship game. The loss ended the national championship hopes for the Falcons, who were ranked No. 2 in the BCS at the time. They fell hard, getting an Alamo Bowl berth against Kansas instead of a shot at the natty or at least an appearance in the Rose Bowl. Senior receiver Paul Gibbons became only the fourth four-time first-team All-American coached by B-Dawg, completing his remarkable career with NCAA records of 428 catches for 6,200 yards and 84 touchdowns.

DONALD HAMMOND

QUARTERBACKS
The quarterback of the future is also the quarterback of the present for Air Force. Sophomore Donald Hammond is the highest-rated quarterback at 83 OVR and comes with the speed (82) required to run the read option game which was successful for B-Dawg at Western Michigan. Hammond has 87 THP and 80 THA, so he could have interception issues, particularly at Heisman mode. Junior Isaiah Sanders (81 OVR, 82 SPD, 82 THP, 77 THA) and senior Arion Worthman (80 OVR, 85 SPD, 83 THP, 77 THA) aren’t much of a drop-off if Hammond falters or gets a rare long-term NCAA ’14 injury.

KADIN REMSBERG

RUNNING BACKS
Kadin Remsberg, a 76 OVR sophomore halfback, is the most intriguing player on Air Force’s roster, because he’s the fastest. Remsberg has SEC-type speed with a 95 SPD roster, which has B-Dawg licking his chops over the possibilities of using him as a mismatch coming out of the backfield. B-Dawg hopes to get him on the edge as a runner, but isn’t sure how well that will work on Heisman mode with a so-so offensive line. The other running backs who should get regular work have precisely the type of SPD you’d expect from Air Force, with junior Nolan Eriksen possessing 86 SPD and junior Joseph Saucier checking in with 85 SPD. B-Dawg loves using his fullbacks, so junior Cole Fagan (80 OVR, 81 SPD) could get some touches.

GERAUD SANDERS

WIDE RECEIVERS
Despite the “Air” in Air Force, the real-life Falcons aren’t known as a passing team. As a result, you get a wide receiving corps like the one B-Dawg inherited. There are linebackers as fast or faster than Air Force’s fastest receivers. Senior Ronald Cleveland is the fastest receiver with 88 SPD, while Marcus Bennett has 86 SPD. Expect Air Force to use its receivers in move-the-chains roles, not for game-breaking plays. That could be beneficial to 73 OVR slot receiver Geraud Sanders. Bennett has the best hands with 82 CTH. It gets pretty dismal after that.

KADE WAGUESPACK

TIGHT ENDS
How valuable is AWR in NCAA Football? That is the nagging question for B-Dawg as he assesses his tight ends. From a skill standpoint, freshman Chris Kane has an edge over junior Kade Waguespack. Kane has 70 CTH, 77 SPD, 67 PBK and 67 RBK. The thing holding him back, if it’s relevant, is his 61 AWR. Waguespack has 77 SPD, 68 CTH, 62 PBK and 69 RBK. His edge is his 80 AWR. This could go back and forth this season. The AWR gap is probably why Waguespack has a 69-67 edge in OVR.

GRIFFIN LANDRUM

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
Air Force has only one legitimate Division I player on its offensive line in 85 OVR guard Griffin Landrum. After that, it’s a patchwork building project. Junior tackle Scott Hattok is 74 OVR and sophomore guard Nolan Laufenberg is 74 OVR. It could be years before the Falcons have an offensive line where everyone is at least 80-plus OVR.

JORDAN JACKSON

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN
Air Force has a potential beast in its top-rated player, 85 OVR sophomore defensive end Jordan Jackson. Maybe he’s a future rocket scientist, because he comes in with a 91 AWR rating as a sophomore. Maybe that was an oversight by the roster editors. He has 76 SPD, 80 STR and 80 TAK. Whatever the Air Force record is for sacks, Jackson should own it after three seasons. The No. 2-ranked guy on the defensive line is junior tackle Mosese Fifita, who is 76 OVR with 86 STR and 70 TAK.

BRODY BAGNALL

LINEBACKERS
The future star in this group is 76 OVR sophomore outside linebacker Lakota Wills, who has 81 SPD and 75 TAK. The other starters won’t be around when Air Force begins contending, with 73 OVR senior Brody Bagnall at middle linebacker and 73 OVR senior Kyle Floyd at outside linebacker.

JEREMY FEJEDELEM

DEFENSIVE BACKS
This secondary could get torched this season. The starting cornerbacks are 70 OVR junior Zane Lewis and 69 OVR Dailen Sutton. Jeremy Fejedelem, a 77 OVR junior free safety, and Garrett Kauppila, a 75 OVR red-shirt junior strong safety, could end up with a bunch of tackles while cleaning up the mess created by the cornerbacks. There’s not much hope for the future in this group, with 66 OVR sophomore Milton Bugg and 64 OVR freshman Auston Deason the only cornerbacks who will be around after next season.

JAKE KOEHNKE

SPECIAL TEAMS
Expect B-Dawg to go for it on fourth down a bunch this season in situations that would normally call for a field goal. His kicker, junior Jake Koehnke, possesses only 77 KPW and 73 KAC. Switching junior punter Charlie Scott to kicker wouldn’t help much, as Scott has 75 KPW and 65 KAC. Recruiting a kicker will be a priority to get the progression train rolling for two years from now.

BDawg35 MVP OVR: 14 Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Michigan Blog Entries: 1	B-Dawg's Air Force Falcons: Flying high A.F. B-Dawg hoists the crystal football after winning a natty at Western Michigan. Guess who’s back, guess who’s back Tell a friend: B-Dawg looks to create a monster at Air Force The first clue of trouble in paradise was the headline: “Boredom setting in?” B-Dawg had just led his Western Michigan Broncos to a 45-0 trouncing of Penn State, the Broncos’ third rout of a perennial national power in the 2024 season. What should have been cause for celebration only sucked even more of B-Dawg’s enthusiasm as he improved to 8-0 in his 12th season at the helm after winning his first national championship the previous season. Instead, he offered a cryptic quote that suggested he was about to turn in his controller and walk away from the game. “I’ve had some life changes that have made coaching this team to another national championship less of a priority,” B-Dawg said at the time. “However, I’ve had nights in which I could’ve fired up the PS3, but the prospect of another blowout win didn’t seem exciting. I do have Ohio State sitting out there as my next opponent. We always get a great battle with Ohio State. I hope this next game is no different, even if we lose. Without the fear of losing, this game isn’t much fun.” That game was posted on April 12, 2016. Since then, it’s been radio silence from B-Dawg. He played two more games that were never posted, trouncing Ohio State and Indiana to raise Western’s record to 10-0. “I kept meaning to post those games, but then I figured, ‘Why bother?’” B-Dawg said. “The passion was gone.” The “life changes” to which B-Dawg alluded was being in the first few months of a new relationship after his previous girlfriend of several years abruptly showed herself to be a cheating money-grubbing hoe who would rather be with guys who had money, even if they were fat MF’ers who didn’t treat her nearly as well. His new relationship turned into a marriage in November 2017. B-Dawg was married before, but he began binge-playing NCAA Football and Madden well into the night starting in 2002 because, as he’s put it, “It wasn’t worth my while to go to bed early, if you know what I mean.” With a lot of free time on his hands and no sex life whatsoever, B-Dawg began posting his results almost daily at MaddenMania (pour a sip), first with the Detroit Lions in Madden 2003 and then the University of Michigan in NCAA 2004. Fast-forward to 2016. The lack of excitement over the game, lack of free time and a change in priorities meant B-Dawg’s copy of NCAA ’14 began gathering dust. Oh, there would be sparks of interest in starting a dynasty as a new college football season began, but those sparks didn’t create any fire. Then, on a cold winter day in January 2018, with an afternoon to kill before covering high school basketball that night, B-Dawg fired up the PS3 and started a new dynasty. After scrolling through teams and imagining possibilities with each, he settled on Air Force for reasons we’ll get into later. Unsure how things would go with so much time off and a switch from All-American to Heisman mode, B-Dawg decided to play a full season before he began posting his dynasty bit by bit. If the results seemed realistic enough, he would post. If not, nobody would ever know these games were played. He had no idea that, because of a combination of time availability and interest, it would take him until August of 2020 to complete the first season. He began with 2018 rosters and nearly scrapped this and went to a dynasty with 2019 rosters and then 2020 rosters as he slowly worked his way through the first season. But he eventually got the bug to keep going and completed a season. It took from Jan. 21, 2019 until Aug. 25, 2020 to play the first season. B-Dawg hopes to average one game a week now that he’s taken this ‘nasty out of the closet. So, here we go. This won’t be a typical B-Dawg dynasty in terms of detail and pace of play, but by gradually posting games that have already been played, hopefully there won’t be long gaps between posts. Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs is B-Dawg’s new home. Why Air Force? The most important decision in any dynasty is selecting a team. Do you run with your favorite team? Do you rebuild a struggling program in a power conference? Do you take a team from a mid-major and build it to national prominence, switching to a power conference along the way? B-Dawg has rolled with his favorite team, Michigan, in three dynasties. That becomes way too easy way too soon. He’s used all three Mid-American Conference teams from Michigan, so another season in the MAC would have been mind-numbing. The most intriguing crappy school in a power conference is Vanderbilt, but B-Dawg coached the Commodores in NCAA 2007. B-Dawg is a patriotic sort who has always been intrigued with the military schools. He played an Army dynasty in NCAA 2003 that wasn’t posted. At the time, he considered coaching Army to a national championship, switching to Navy or Air Force, doing the same, then going to the final school. That seemed too time-consuming. B-Dawg settled on Air Force, because it’s a military school and plays in the Mountain West Conference. That means playing on the beloved Smurf Turf at Boy-Z State every other year. So, why not just run with Boy-Z State if he has such a fetish for blue fields? Well, that would be too easy, as the Broncos are a powerhouse in the Mountain West. A powerhouse team in a middling conference sounds like the worst dynasty imaginable. Did you say Heisman mode? (Gulp!) B-Dawg readily admits he’s not the best player out there. As such, he doesn’t play manually and clings to All-American mode like a child does its security blanket. But even coming up with sliders that favor the CPU in All-American mode creates a fairly easy game if you play regularly enough. Heisman mode, however, scares the crap out of B-Dawg any time someone suggests it. Before playing this dynasty, he messed around with some Heisman mode games with default sliders, and the results were promising. He had to work to make plays. The sliders could be a work in progress as the season goes along, but he’s starting out with default sliders. Yes, we all want to have a challenge where the game doesn’t become too easy. But we don’t want the game to become an exercise in frustration that causes us to break our only remaining PS3 controller. We don’t need no stinkin’ rules! I’m not going to go overboard with dynasty rules, since I’m already handicapping myself by playing on Heisman mode and I won’t play as often. I’m not going to get silly with recruiting restrictions, other than I can’t recruit any players from Canada for obvious reasons. As I got started with this dynasty, it was apparent that recruiting isn’t going to be unrealistically easy. Game-play wise, I’ll use a created offensive and defensive playbook and use the “ask coach” feature to call plays, making exceptions occasionally in hurry-up offenses or to get third-and-one when “ask coach” doesn’t give me a simple HB dive. I’ll play nine-minute quarters. Reasons for optimism Air Force goes into this dynasty with a decided lack of talent, which is by design. What’s the sense of building a dynasty when the pieces are already in place? Air Force is rated C OVR or 74 OVR, depending on your preference. The Falcons are C+ (77) on offense, C (73) on defense and D on special teams. There’s definitely room for improvement. The cause for optimism in Colorado Springs, besides having a coaching legend take over the helm, is the presence of talented youngsters on the existing roster. Six of Air Force’s best players are sophomores. Donald Hammond, an 83 OVR sophomore, will be the starting quarterback. Sophomore defensive end Jordan Jackson is rated 85 OVR, tying for the highest rating on the team. Sophomore Kadin Remsberg is an intriguing player, leading the running back corps at 76 OVR and leading the entire team with SEC-like 95 SPD. Sophomore outside linebacker Lakota Wills is 76 OVR, tops among linebackers. Two of the top offensive linemen are sophomores: 74 OVR guard Nolan Laufenberg and 73 OVR tackle Parker Ferguson. “I’m not sure what the progression is for a program like ours, but these guys could be beasts at our level by their senior years if the progression system is generous,” B-Dawg said. Long-term goal B-Dawg doesn’t want to slum it in the Mountain West Conference forever, regardless of the trip every other year to the glorious Smurf Turf. The goal is to get the Falcons into the Pac-12 Conference to get better competition and more enticing matchups if they can begin to dominate the MWC first. Playing the same teams gets old after a while, so it’ll be nice to switch it up and play in the Pac-12. At the pace B-Dawg has been playing this dynasty, it could be a few years of real time before Air Force reaches that level of prominence. THE 411 ON AIR FORCE Team ratings: C OVR, C+ offense, C defense, D special teams; 74 OVR, 77 offense, 73 defense Coach stability: A Coach prestige: B- Conference prestige: C+ Program tradition: C+ Academic prestige: C+ Stadium atmosphere: C Television exposure: C Campus lifestyle: D+ Athletic facilities: D+ Championship contender: D Pro potential: D 2018 strength of schedule: C- GAME-PLAY OPTIONS Offensive skill: Heisman Defensive skill: Heisman Injuries: On Fatigue: On Quarter length: 9 minutes Play clock: On Game speed: Normal Player min. speed threshold: 50 Home field advantage: On Ice the kicker: On PENALTIES Offsides: 55 False start: 55 Holding: 55 Facemask: 50 Offensive PI: 100 Defensive PI: 100 KR/PR interference: 100 Clipping: 50 Intentional grounding: 71 Roughing the passer: 45 Roughing the kicker: 64 SLIDERS USER: Everything 50 except interceptions are 10.

BDawg35 MVP OVR: 14 Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Michigan Blog Entries: 1	2018 PRESEASON REPORT DONALD HAMMOND QUARTERBACKS The quarterback of the future is also the quarterback of the present for Air Force. Sophomore Donald Hammond is the highest-rated quarterback at 83 OVR and comes with the speed (82) required to run the read option game which was successful for B-Dawg at Western Michigan. Hammond has 87 THP and 80 THA, so he could have interception issues, particularly at Heisman mode. Junior Isaiah Sanders (81 OVR, 82 SPD, 82 THP, 77 THA) and senior Arion Worthman (80 OVR, 85 SPD, 83 THP, 77 THA) aren’t much of a drop-off if Hammond falters or gets a rare long-term NCAA ’14 injury. KADIN REMSBERG RUNNING BACKS Kadin Remsberg, a 76 OVR sophomore halfback, is the most intriguing player on Air Force’s roster, because he’s the fastest. Remsberg has SEC-type speed with a 95 SPD roster, which has B-Dawg licking his chops over the possibilities of using him as a mismatch coming out of the backfield. B-Dawg hopes to get him on the edge as a runner, but isn’t sure how well that will work on Heisman mode with a so-so offensive line. The other running backs who should get regular work have precisely the type of SPD you’d expect from Air Force, with junior Nolan Eriksen possessing 86 SPD and junior Joseph Saucier checking in with 85 SPD. B-Dawg loves using his fullbacks, so junior Cole Fagan (80 OVR, 81 SPD) could get some touches. GERAUD SANDERS WIDE RECEIVERS Despite the “Air” in Air Force, the real-life Falcons aren’t known as a passing team. As a result, you get a wide receiving corps like the one B-Dawg inherited. There are linebackers as fast or faster than Air Force’s fastest receivers. Senior Ronald Cleveland is the fastest receiver with 88 SPD, while Marcus Bennett has 86 SPD. Expect Air Force to use its receivers in move-the-chains roles, not for game-breaking plays. That could be beneficial to 73 OVR slot receiver Geraud Sanders. Bennett has the best hands with 82 CTH. It gets pretty dismal after that. KADE WAGUESPACK TIGHT ENDS How valuable is AWR in NCAA Football? That is the nagging question for B-Dawg as he assesses his tight ends. From a skill standpoint, freshman Chris Kane has an edge over junior Kade Waguespack. Kane has 70 CTH, 77 SPD, 67 PBK and 67 RBK. The thing holding him back, if it’s relevant, is his 61 AWR. Waguespack has 77 SPD, 68 CTH, 62 PBK and 69 RBK. His edge is his 80 AWR. This could go back and forth this season. The AWR gap is probably why Waguespack has a 69-67 edge in OVR. GRIFFIN LANDRUM OFFENSIVE LINEMEN Air Force has only one legitimate Division I player on its offensive line in 85 OVR guard Griffin Landrum. After that, it’s a patchwork building project. Junior tackle Scott Hattok is 74 OVR and sophomore guard Nolan Laufenberg is 74 OVR. It could be years before the Falcons have an offensive line where everyone is at least 80-plus OVR. JORDAN JACKSON DEFENSIVE LINEMEN Air Force has a potential beast in its top-rated player, 85 OVR sophomore defensive end Jordan Jackson. Maybe he’s a future rocket scientist, because he comes in with a 91 AWR rating as a sophomore. Maybe that was an oversight by the roster editors. He has 76 SPD, 80 STR and 80 TAK. Whatever the Air Force record is for sacks, Jackson should own it after three seasons. The No. 2-ranked guy on the defensive line is junior tackle Mosese Fifita, who is 76 OVR with 86 STR and 70 TAK. BRODY BAGNALL LINEBACKERS The future star in this group is 76 OVR sophomore outside linebacker Lakota Wills, who has 81 SPD and 75 TAK. The other starters won’t be around when Air Force begins contending, with 73 OVR senior Brody Bagnall at middle linebacker and 73 OVR senior Kyle Floyd at outside linebacker. JEREMY FEJEDELEM DEFENSIVE BACKS This secondary could get torched this season. The starting cornerbacks are 70 OVR junior Zane Lewis and 69 OVR Dailen Sutton. Jeremy Fejedelem, a 77 OVR junior free safety, and Garrett Kauppila, a 75 OVR red-shirt junior strong safety, could end up with a bunch of tackles while cleaning up the mess created by the cornerbacks. There’s not much hope for the future in this group, with 66 OVR sophomore Milton Bugg and 64 OVR freshman Auston Deason the only cornerbacks who will be around after next season. JAKE KOEHNKE SPECIAL TEAMS Expect B-Dawg to go for it on fourth down a bunch this season in situations that would normally call for a field goal. His kicker, junior Jake Koehnke, possesses only 77 KPW and 73 KAC. Switching junior punter Charlie Scott to kicker wouldn’t help much, as Scott has 75 KPW and 65 KAC. Recruiting a kicker will be a priority to get the progression train rolling for two years from now. LopaKa likes this. Last edited by BDawg35; 12-11-2020 at 08:19 AM.
