Re: The Career of Bryan Dodge (NCAA11)
WEEK 1 RECAP
Most teams played against low level opponents including alot of FCS matchups. However we did see several Top-25 programs besides BSU take on a tougher opponent. In fact Week 1 gave us several exciting upsets.
For the 3rd straight year #9 Virginia Tech loses in Week 1 as Marshall pulls the upset 17-10
The Pac-10 took a huge hit as both #21 Oregon State and #4 Oregon lose their Week 1 matchups.
Nevada-31 #21 Oregon State-13
Kansas State-23 #4 Oregon-20 OT!!
#25 Arizona defeated #10 Florida State 50-10, showing they can win without QB N. Flores.
#18 South Carolina falls to ECU 31-28
#24 Georgia falls to Louisville 10-7
and #2 Oklahoma loses 24-13 to Colorado in a former Big-12 rivalary game.
(With the Oklahoma and Oregon loss, BSU moves up to #3 in the Polls behind Ohio State and Nebraska.)

Re: The Career of Bryan Dodge (NCAA11)
WEEK 2
(1-0)
VS (1-0) 
GAME PREVIEW
It's labled "Battle of the Palouse. These 2 schools are seperated by just 8 miles of farm land. Started in 1894, Washington State has dominated this rivalary with a 70-18-3 record. Idaho's last win was in 1925, with the last meeting taking place in 2007. However with former WSU D Coordinator Rob Akey running the show at Idaho now and Coach Dodge a very public U of I ***** running the show at WSU this rivalary is back on as is the tradiation of the "Loser Walk" where the losing team must walk the 8 miles back to their campus.
GAME RECAP
Both teams would struggle to move the ball in the 1st Quarter as it ends with zero's on the scoreboard. WSU however would be the 1st to score as J. Tuell hits J. Kartsetter on a 88 yd bomb to put WSU up (7-0) Idaho would answer back with a 21 yd FG. WSU would take the field with 3:57 to play in the half and J. Tuell was looking to make something happen. Instead the JR QB would take a huge hit (late in my opinion) leaving him on the ground in serve pain. WSU would be forced to punt and with 7 seconds to play in the half, Idaho would connect on a 43 yd FG to make it (7-6)
SR QB M. Lobbestael would lead the Cougs onto the field in the 2nd half as J. Tuell stayed in the locker room. After a 3 and out, WSU would punt again. Idaho would take advantage finally getting in the endzone on a 3 yd J. Podrabsky run (13-7) Lobbestael now playing in his 3rd possession would find his groove and hit J. Kartsetter on a 32 yd TD pass as WSU retakes the lead. (14-13)
Again Idaho would go to the ground and again J. Podrabsky would find paydirt diving in from 1 yd out. Up by 6, Idaho would go for 2pt and convert to take the Touchdown lead (21-14) Quite all came, Isiah Barton finally deliever though catching a 21yd TD pass with 2 minutes to play to tie the game (21-21) Needing a huge stop, the Cougar "D" would deliver getting the stop they needed. D. Wagner would get a chance to win the game in regulation but would fail to hit a 36 yd FG as this game was going to Overtime!!!
In the OT period, the Cougars would win the toss and elect to play Defense. Againt the "D" would deliever a huge stop swatting down 2 potential TD pass's including a 4th and goal (4 yds). Not taking any chances, Coach Dodge would run the ball setting up a 24 yd FG attempt. This time Wagner would deliver as the WSU Student Body and fans rushed the field.
FINAL SCORE WSU-24 IDAHO-21

POST GAME INTERVIEW
Coach Dodge "I am not going to lie. If we don't win another game all year it was worth it coming to WSU just to win this one.
It was a amazing feeling watching Coach Akey and his team walk back to Moscow. I had to follow them in my car just to make sure they didn't try and hitch a ride 
I talked to the trainers and right now it looks like Jeff has a severe Back sprain that will keep him out at least the next 6 weeks. Right now the plan is to go with Lobby, but we will take a look at the RS FR C. Halliday this week in practice as well. I love Mitz to death but we got to get our run game going so we will also take a look at RS SO C. Winston at HB as well. I can't say enough about Kartsetter and Barton those guys are amazing. Both have the potential to have 1000 yds season's and potentially 2000 yds if they play like they have been"

Re: The Career of Bryan Dodge (NCAA11)
WEEK 3 TEAM REPORT
QB JEFF TUELL OUT 6 WEEKS!!
After a week long of practice, SR M. Lobbestael will start this week against #12 Oregon, however rumors are that it was a close battle with RS FR C. Halliday and if Lobbestael struggles we could see the Freshman.
KARTSETTER AND BARTON PAC-10 POW'S.
(POW=Player of the Week)
In Week 1 we saw JR WR I Barton catch 14 balls for 378 yds and 5 TD's breaking school records in single game yds and TD receptions. Barton was named the NCAA POW as well as the Pac-10 POW
In Week 2 it was SR WR J. Kartsetter who was making noise around the Pac-10 with 10 rec for 246 yds and 2 TD's.
COACH DODGE ANNOUNCES PLAYBOOK CHANGES
With the ground game struggling to produce yards, Coach Dodge has decided to switch up the offensive attack looking to get 5 WR sets on the field more often and give his QB time to find open WR's, the Cougars are switching up from their Spread/Pro style Offense to a Air-Raid Offense. Expect to see a jump in pass attempts (50-60)..

Re: The Career of Bryan Dodge (NCAA11)
WEEK 3
(1-1) VS #12 (1-1) 
GAME PREVIEW
After a disappointing loss to Kansas State in Week 1, the Oregon Ducks showed they can still score points as they crush BYU 45-29 in Week 2.
On a roster note. Orginally QB D. Thomas had declared his intentions to go pro, however after all the other underclassman QB's declared including Ohio State's T. Pryor, Thomas decided it was best to return to Euguene and hopes of conviencing NFL scouts that he can play QB at the next level.
GAME RECAP
Oregon dominated on both sides of the ball, scoring 31 points in the 1st half, off 4 turnovers (1 fumble and 3 INT's by Lobbestael). Lobbestael would throw 1 TD in the 2nd Q (20 yds J. Kartsetter) and D. Wagner would connect on a 21 yd FG but WSU would go into the locker room trailing 31-10.
Oregon would continue to put up points in the 3rd Quarter (2 TD runs by L. Seastrunk), but the Cougars Offense would show big play ability as RS FR QB C. Halliday took the field tossing 2 TD bombs!! (59 yds Kartsetter and 91 yds I. Barton) Score 45-24
WSU would cut the lead to just 2 scores as Halliday passes for his 3rd TD (4 yds to TE A. Dunn) with 7 minutes to play (45-31), but the Ducks "D" would answer the call picking off a endzone pass by Halliday and then force a fumble on a option pitch returning the ball 58 yds for the TD to seal the victory. Oregon would tack on a 41 yd FG just to rub it in.
FINAL SCORE WSU-31 OREGON-55
KEY PLAYERS
QB C. Halliday 20/40 398 yds 3 TD's 1 INT
QB M. Lobbestael 16/28 275 yds 1 TD 3 INT'S
RB L. Mitz 9 carries 8 yds (.8 yd Avg)
WR I. Barton-13 rec 267 yds 1 TD (91 yd)
WR J. Kartsetter-9 rec 194 yds 2 TD's
WR G. Simone 6 rec 89 yds
TE S. Stormo 3 rec 64 yds
MLB L. Bland 13 Tackles (11 Solo)
QB D. Thomas 18/31 257 yds 2 TD's
RB I. Seastrunk-30 carries 134 yds 2 TD's, 7 rec 100 yds
POST GAME INTERVIEW
Coach Dodge "Obviously I am happy with the stats we put up in the air with our new offense (using Texas Tech playbook), however are "D" continues to show they can get the stops when we need them. We let them complete 8/18 3rd Down conversions (44%) as well as 2/2 on 4th down. That's just not going to cut it.
After comparing both QB's I feel that our best gameplan is to move forward with Halliday at QB as we continue to run the Air Raid attack. Lobby will stay as our #2 and we will continue to work the ball into the hands of Kartsetter and Barton. Both did a amazing job of opening up the middle of the field for our TE's (Stormo and Dunn) and our #3 WR G. Simone. I was also happy to see Halliday working the ball to our #4,#5, and #6 WR's as well.
