Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

Is anyone else having issues with OS site. Everytime I make a post my screen freezes as it's trying to load stupid advertisments and I end up having to save and restart. Just curious if it was just my account of the website in general.

I'm not having any issues, but I use Ad Block with my browser (Firefox) so that's probably why.

Regarding the Sooners ... DAMN did they back up their talk. What a beatdown. I hope that doesn't damage the conference's image, you were down your best player, but the game was only close in that first quarter.

Gonna need to recruit hard to get a good QB I feel. Rypien is too INT prone.

To be honest not all are on him, when pass's hit the WR's in the hands and bounce off into the defender, I blame the CPU. When he just makes bad judgement and throws into a sea of defenders I tend to blame the person running the controller.

The hard part about playing as the OC, is you get zero control on the defense, and in the first half they couldn't stop Oklahoma from scoring, obviously they made a good adjustment in the 2nd half, but by then it was to late.

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

So sadly my auto save came back on without me catching it and I have did some off-season stuff thinking I still had a save for game results.

I can tell you that Ohio State won the National title but that's about it in regards to other bowl game recaps. Sorry.. I will do better next time.

RYPIEN ANNOUNCES DECISION TO JOIN THE DRAFT!!

Brett Rypien's 2017 season didn't end on a positive note coming off a INT plagued loss in the Fiesta Bowl to Oklahoma, but that didn't stop the JR QB from deciding it was time to take his talents to the next level. After getting 3rd/4th round grades in the upcoming draft, Rypien has announced he is leaving "The Blue" Rypien leaves having passed for over 11,000 yds with 84 TD's and 32 INT's, inlcuding 3861 yds 35 TD and 15 INT this past season.

Joining Rypien in the draft are SR TE Jake Roh (projected 2nd round) as well as SR WR Cedric Wilson and SR RB Jeremey "McWeapon" McNichols.

Wilson and McNichols are projected as 7th round or F.A. pickups, despite the fact Wilson broke 3 Boise State school records this season as he finished with 100 rec 1500 yds and 19 TD's.

Ouch! Losing two of your best offensive players. But, it does give you a chance to redefine the offense ... maybe find a stud QB.

Well Collins showed flashes of being pretty good as a true freshman. He has 82 spd too which I didn't take full advantage of. I landed what looks to be a pretty solid 4* QB recruit who should challenge him for the starting job next year and also a decent Juco Athlete that will get moved to RB to give me a solid 1-2 punch with Mattison.

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

MASSIVE CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT FOR 2018 SEASON!!

With the crowing of Ohio State as 2017 Champs, 2017 is officially in the books. Now with 2018 just around the corner, let's take a look at what looks to be the most exciting thing in sports as the NCAA does a major realignment in every conference.

The BCS also has announced that starting in 2018, the automatic ties to bowl games such as the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl will now also have new affiliations.

When you think of football things don't get any more American then Texas football and that's where things get interesting as the NCAA moves every team in Texas to this newly formed conference.

Baylor,,Houston,TCU,North Texas,Texas State and Texas Tech make up Div A (Can really use a cool name for the Division)

TCU,Texas,UTEP,Texas A&M,UTSA,SMU,Rice make up Div B (also needs a name)

With the Texas schools removed from the Big 12, the realignment committee goes regionally, with

Iowa,Iowa State,Kansas,Kansas State, Missouri and Nebraska in Div A (needs a name)

Air Force, Colorado, Colorado State, Oklahoma,Oklahoma State and Tusla make up Div B (also needs a name)

The American and Big 12 Champions will face each other in the Fiesta Bowl

The Big Ten keeps it's name but is expanded to 12 teams.

Michigan,Michigan State, Minnesota,Penn State, Pitt and Wisconsin now make up the Leaders Division

Illinois,Indiana,N. Illinois,Northwestern,Ohio State and Purdue now make up the Legends Division.

Like the previous 3 Conference the ACC will also have 12 teams moving forward.

Duke,UNC,NC State, Kentucky, Louisville and Western Kentucky make up the Atlantic Division

Marshall,Old Dominion,Virginia,Virginia Tech,West Virginia and Wake Forest make up the Coastal Divisions.

The BCS has announced that the ACC Champion will play the Champion from the Big 10 Conference in the Orange Bowl starting in 2018.

For years the SEC has been know as the power conference in college football, but it gets a major shakeup will staples like Auburn,Alabama and LSU no longer members. Also the SEC gets something different then the previous 4 Conferences. They will have 13 teams in 2018.

Florida,FAU,FIU,FSU,Miami,UCF and USF will make up a 7 team division called the Sunshine.

Georgia,Georgia Tech, Georgia State, South Carolina, Clemson and East Carolina will make up a 6 team division called the Big South.

The Sunbelt gets a major facelift and upgrade as they join the power conference status.

LSU,Louisiana Tech, Louisana, Tulane, ULM and Arkansas State will make up a division.

Alabama,Auburn,Arkansas, South Alabama, Troy and UAB will make up the other division

Both divisions are still looking for names.

The BCS has announced that in 2018, the SEC Champion and Sun Belt Champion will face each other in the Sugar Bowl

The Mountain West also receives a pretty major upgrade as 5 teams from the former Pac-12 move over.

BSU,Idaho,Oregon,Oregon State, Washington, and Washington State now make up the Mountain Division

BYU,Utah,Utah State,Nevada,UNLV and Wyoming now make up the West Division.

Arizona,Arizona State,San Diego State,Hawaii,New Mexico and New Mexico State are in the Sun Division

Cal,Stanford,USC,UCLA,San Jose State and Fresno State are now in the Gold Division

The Pac-12 will keep it's tie to the Rose Bowl, but will now play the Mountain West Champs for the title.

Conference USA has to be considered a loser in this new realignment as they have no ties to a major bowl game, but this conference does get a interesting twist as it will be the biggest with 16 teams.

Boston College,UConn,Maryland,Navy,Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple and UMass will play in the North.

Army West Point,Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Southern Miss and Vanderbilt,Tennessee,Memphis and Mid Tenn State will play in the South

The Mac are the other losers in this new realignment as they also get no automatic ties to a BCS Bowl game and actually very little change to their conference. Northern Illinois jumps to the Big 10 and is replaced by Cincinnati who moves to the Ohio Division.

The Ohio Division will be Akron,Cincinnati,Miami OH, Ohio, Toledo and Buffalo
(I know they are not in Ohio but it needed a 6th team)

The Mid/North Division is going to be Bowling Green, Ball State, CMU,EMU,WMU, and Kent State.

Despite offers to join the Big 10, the Irish will once again go into the 2018 season as a Independent and until further notice it appears they will stay there...

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

BCS ANNOUNCES 2018 PRE-SEASON RANKING

#1 Florida State
The Seminoles make their move to the SEC and will start the year #1 after finishing it #3 last year. They have 99 Ratings in Overall,Offense and Defense.

#2 Clemson
The Tigers also make the jump to the new SEC and in the 2018 schedule will not face FSU unless it comes to the SEC Championship. Like FSU, Clemson is a 99 Overall/Offense and Defense

# Oklahoma
The Sooners are most likely the team to beat in the new Big 12 this year as they are a 95 Overall/Offense and Defense. They will have a tough matchup though in Week 1 as they square off against #4 Ohio State.

#4 Ohio State
The Defending National Champs will get zero rest as they take on #3 Oklahoma in Week 1, but as a 99 Overall/97 Offense/99 Defense, one would think they would be favored despite their ranking.

#5 Washington
Coach Pete and the Huskies move from the Pac-12 to the MWC and will look to make it 3 straight over the Broncos. With a 97 Overall Rating, 99 Offense and 95 Defense they will be tough to beat in Week 2. Interesting that the Huskies have Week 6 matchup with #2 Clemson

#6 Notre Dame
The Irish don't have a conference schedule but with a preseason ranking like this and a 97 Overall/99 Offense and 97 Defense they will be tough no matter who they play and could easily play themselves into a National Title game.
They have #7 Texas in Week 1, #1 FSU on the schedule as well as #9 USC, so they will have plenty of chances to prove themselves.

#7 Texas
99 Overall/99 Offense/99 Defense. Can't wait to see the outcome vs the Irish.

#8 Auburn
Losers of last year's title game, the Tigers are back looking to make another attempt. 99 Overall/99 Offense/99 Defense, the Tigers look to be the team to beat in the new Sun Belt Conference.

#9 USC
97 Overall/97 Offense/97 Defense the Trojans look to be the team to beat in the new Pac-12. Could we see a Huskies vs Trojans Rose Bowl?

#10 Georgia
The Bulldogs must have one of the toughest schedules this season with 6 games vs Top-25 preseason teams including Week 1 vs #21 FAU, plus a non-conference matchup with #8 Auburn and #22 Vandy late in the year.

The rest of the Top-25
#11 Miami FL
#12 Michigan
#13 Miss State
#14 LSU
#15 Baylor
#16 Arizona State
#17 Kansas State
#18 USF
#19 Kentucky
#20 UCLA
#21 FAU
#22 Vanderbilt
#23 Wisconsin
#24 Oklahoma State
#25 Florida

Boise State starts the year at #27

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

BOISE STATE ANNOUNCES 2018 SCHEDULE

With a new look to the Mountain West Conference. Boise State no longer looks to be a favorite to win the 3rd straight title.

The Broncos will start the 2018 season in Week 1 against the team they faced in last year's title game as they travel to face San Diego State in now what is a Non-conference rivalry matchup.

The Broncos will then face off against BYU in their 2018 home opener in Week 2 before facing Coach Pete and the #5 Huskies in Week 3.

Boise State will then hit the road for another non-conference matchup vs the Pac-12 as they face #16 Arizona State.

After a bye week, it's road games @ Wyoming and @ UNLV before returning home to face Utah and another former MWC foe in Air Force.

The Broncos then play 3 straight @ Washington State, @ Oregon State and @ Oregon before closing out the season on the Blue vs Idaho in rivalry week.

Coach Moore

"Obviously moving from the MWC to the Pac-12 has been a dream of Boise state players and fans for many years, even though we didn't move the Pac-12 in a sense moved to us, as UW,WSU,Oregon,OSU make our new division super competitive and with BYU and Utah in the West, winning a 3rd straight MWC title doesn't look like a slam dunk any more"

Man, all the hype for the Bowl game. Brought me back to when I watched the original game live. Unfortunately it didn't end the same way for your team. Hopefully you can get back to it with the new tougher MWC

Trust me I was so excited for the rematch too, but sadly between me not being able to play Defense and that horrible 2 score swing they had with the onside kick, I could never find a grove with the offense.

MOORE TURNS DOWN MULTIPLE HEAD COACH OFFERS

Despite the horrible ending to a great 2017 season, Kellen Moore's coaching abilities where in high demand across the country with several high profile schools offering not just a OC position but the ability to become the Head Coach.

Illinois,Purdue,Kansas,SMU,Texas State and Central Michigan all called offered Moore the reigns to the programs.

Coach Moore

"Well I do want to be a head coach someday, I felt like I still had some growing to do as a coach (Only level 10) and I feel like Boise State is the place for me to continue that growing. Coach Harsin had to leave BSU for a OC position at Texas before going to Arkansas State to become the HC for a year before returning here. I want to simplify the process. Do I want to the Head Coach of the Boise State Broncos. The Answer is yes, but I know I could have to wait some time. Coach Harsin is doing great things here, including giving me a chance to start my career. So I am going to be a little picky when it comes to when and where I go next"

Moore was also offered OC positions at major programs like Arkansas,Miss State and even Oklahoma as well but declined all.

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

BRONCOS ANNOUNCE DEPTH CHART FOR 2018

QB-SO Luke Collins (84 OVR)
"Collins completed 99/185 pass's in 2017 for a total of 1555 yds with 8 TD and 8 INT and will go into Week 1 as the starter. Collins only 5'11 will look to use his 86 speed and background as a high school RB to rack up some yds on the ground this season as well."

QB-FR James Robbins (77 OVR)
"Robbins a 4* Recruit form Portland Oregon will open up the year as the #2, more of a true pocket passer, he has a more powerful arm (89 vs 83 THP) and looked to be more accurate this srping as well (83 vs 81 THA)"

QB-RS FR Bobby Parham (72 OVR)
"The former 3* Recruit, redshirted last season and will start the year as the #3. He is the biggest of the 3 QB's at 6'3 236lbs. He is a mix of Collins and Robbins with 77 SPD and 83 THP but his 73 THA makes one wonder if he is the 2nd coming of B. Rypien.

RB- RS SO Alexander Mattison (83 OVR)
"The returning leading rusher with 93 carries for 358 yds (3.8 Avg), and 2 TD's.
With 89 SPD and 89 ACC he is the fastest of the Broncos runners"

RB-JR Ryan Parrish (77 OVR)
"A 3* Juco Recruit, Parrish will get a chance to show what he can do as he starts the year as the #2 back"

RB/FB-SR Tony Burns (81 OVR HB/76 OVR FB)
"Burns is actually the starting FB, but will most likely see some carries especially in goal line opportunities. He only rushed the ball 6 times last season for 30 yds (5.0 Avg)"

RB-FR Andre Allen (68 OVR)
"Allen was a 4* Recruit and showed enough in practice to keep the redshirt off him this season."

FB RS FR Tommy Fields (64 OVR)
"At 6'5 236 lbs, Fields is built like a TE and could see some action catching pass's as he lines up as a receiver on certain pass plays. He will most likley take over as the starting FB next season with Burns graduating"

WR-SR Akillian Butler (90 OVR)
"Butler had a breakout year last season with 50 rec for797 yds and 7 TD's after making just 1 catch in 2016. He actually surpass's M. Lee as the #1 WR replacing Wilson as the #1 WR"

WR-SO Marcus Lee (86 OVR)
"Lee returns as the #2 WR after a monster FR season that saw him catch 56 balls for 742 yds and 10 TD's.. Lee also saw action at QB in the Fiesta Bowl completing 4/7 pass's for 67 yds and 1 TD"

WR-RS SO Julian Carter (81 OVR)
"Carter spent last season as the #4 WR, he moves to the #3 role in which Butler had a breakout year and he is hoping to do the same. Last season he had 29 catches for 510 yds (17.6 Avg) showing he has big play potential, despite taking only 1 to the house (1 TD).

WR-RS SR A.J. Richardson (79 OVR)
"Richardson is a big play reciever as well. In 2016 he had 7 rec for 131 yds (18.7 Avg) for 1 TD. Last year he stepped up with 11 rec for 197 yds (17.9 Avg) and took 4 TD's to the house. He moves from the #5 WR to the #4 spot so he should see a jump in catches."

WR-RS SO Trevon Armstrong (78 OVR)
"The 2nd tallest WR at 6'3 (Lee is 6'4). Armstrong will most likely make the jump to the #3 role next season but this season he will be the #5 , seeing the field on some and providing great depth"

WR-RS SO Bubba Ogbebor (76 OVR)
"Ogebebor has yet to catch a pass despite being active last year. Like Armstrong he provies great depth and like Armstrong he will most likely jump from the #6 WR this year to the #4 next season, thus finally seeing the field"


TE-RS SR Chase Blakley (84 OVR)
"Blakley has huge shoes to fill as SR J. Roh finished with 1000 yds and double digit TD's last season, becoming a 2nd round NFL pick. with 78 SPD and 81 CTH he has the skills to be a solid pass catching TE which is what Bronco QB's love"

TE-RS SO Nick Crabtree (75 OVR)
"Crabtree is a huge target at 6'7 and 272 lbs,and with 79 SPD and 72 CTH, he has the ability to be a force the passing game"

LT-JR T. Macklin (77 OVR)
"A Juco Recruit he steps in hoping to lock down Collins blindside."

LG-RS SO D. Harrington (76 OVR)
"Harrington saw limited action last season as a reserve as the O-Line managed to stay healthy but he did register 1 pancake."

C-RS JR G. Larson (84 OVR)
"The Top Reserve on the line last year moves into the starting Center spot and will also be the team's long snapper. Over the past 2 seasons he has registered 7 pancakes and given up 2 sacks."

RG-RS SO B. Webster (72 OVR)
"Webster actually started at RG last season despite his lower OVR, he recorded 7 Pancakes but did give up 5 sacks"

RT-RS JR J. Molchon (82 OVR)
"The returning leader on this line, Molchon started all season at RT last season recording a team high 21 pancakes, well also giving up 5 sacks on the year"

Top Reserve RS SO K. Bailey (76 OVR)
"The former 3* Recruit will be the first one in at both guard or tackle should anyone go down"

Backup Center-RS FR K. Collins (72 OVR)
"Another former 3* Recruit who redshirted last season"

Depth- RS SO R. McDaniel (66 OVR)
"McDaniel was a 2* Recruit who provides depth at all 3 positions"

LE- RS SR Jabril Frazier (85 OVR)
"A 2 year starter Frazier has 32 career TFL and 6 career sacks, well also deflecting 5 passes and forcing 2 fumbles"

RE-RS JR Durrant Miles (83 OVR)
"Miles takes over the starting spot. Last year as a reserve he saw limited time, registering 3 TFL and 1 sack"

Reserve DE-RS JR Sam Whitney (82 OVR) and RS SO K. Rufai (79 OVR)

DT-RS SR David Moa (85 OVR)
"A 2 year starter, Moa broke out last season with 10 TFL and 3.5 sacks well also forcing a fumble"

DT-RS SO Sonatone Lua (85 OVR)
"Lua moves into the starting unit when the line goes with 4 Lineman"

Reserve DT- RS FR C. Sutherland (83 OVR)
"4* Recruit from Idaho will look to force his way onto the field sometime this season and will take over for Moa next year"

Reserve DT-RS SO C. Weaver (78 OVR)
"Weaver came into the camp over weight and got surpassed by Sutherland on the depth chart. At this point he will most likely always be reserve depth"

OLB-RS SR J. Provenzano (79 OVR)
"Was among the leaders in tackles last season with 80 (42 Solo and 38 assisted) as well as lead the team in sacks with 5.5"

MLB-RS SR Leighton Vander Esch (80 OVR)
"The former 8 man high school QB is becoming a key leader and star on the Defense. He lead the team in tackles last season with 58 Solo and 26 assists (84 total)

OLB-RS SO D. Williams (73 OVR,84 SPD)
"Williams is undersized at just 5'11 and 200lbs, but his quickness hopefully will allow him to cover RB's out of the backfield and close in on the ball carriers quickly"

Key Reserve-RS SO T. Maeva (76 OVR)
"Maeva registered 35 tackles and 1.5 sacks last season as a reserve. He will take over for Vander Esch next season as the starting MLB"

CB-SR T. Horton (86 OVR)
"A 2 year starter Horton led the team with 15 pass deflections last year but didn't register a single INT"

CB-SO Avery Williams (85 OVR)
"The former 4* Recruit settled in as the teams starting at CB as well as the return man on both kickoffs and punts. He finished with 8 pass deflections and 3 INT last season, well also having a 20.3 KRA and 8.8 PRA."
Backup CB-RS JR L. Blair (79 OVR) RS SO D. Pierce (77 OVR)
"Blair registered 29 tackles and had 3 Pass deflections last season"

FS- RS JR E. Tyler (84 OVR)
"A reserve last season, Tyler had 19 Tackles and 3 Pass deflections"

Backup Safties-RS SO J. Happle (77 OVR), RS SR S. Seibold (82 OVR)

Kicker-SO David Stephens (76 OVR)
"Stephens had a decent freshman campaign, in which he hit 14/18 FG's including a long of 46 yds, well also going 100% in his PAT and registering 11 touchbacks"

Punter-SO SO Marcus Mills (66 OVR)
"Mills also was a solid as a Freshman recording 63 punts with a average of 38.3 and a net of 33.5. He had a long of 57, had 1 punt blocked and downed 14 inside the 20."

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

WASHINGTON HUSKIES PRESEASON FAVORITES TO WIN TITLE!!

The Huskies start the year #5 in the Top-25 poll, and are even favorites to win a National Title as QB Jake Browning (99 OVR), RB Myles Gaskins (99 OVR) and TE Drew Sample (87 OVR) all announced they were coming back for their senior seasons. All 3 are both All-NCAA and MWC 1st team selections.

Browning and Gaskins are also both on the Pre-Season Heisman watch list

The Huskies also have the best O-Line in the conference with 4 starters being named to the 1st team All-MWC including LT T. Adams (99 OVR) who is also a NCAA 2nd team selection.



Despite B. Rypien leaving a year early for the NFL draft and the graduation of RB J. McNichols, WR C. Wilson, TE J. Roh and 3 of the starting O-Line, the Broncos Offense led by OC Kellen Moore are expected to be the Huskies biggest challenger for the MWC crown, as the Defense is considered to be among the best in the conference.

DT D. Moa, LB's J. Provenzano and L. Vander Esch and CB Avery Williams are all 1st team All-MWC selecitons as well as SO Place Kicker D. Stephens. WR's M. Lee and A. Butler as well as DE J. Fraizer are 2nd team All-MWC selections.



The Ducks are coming off a 6-6 season last year, but are lead by a talented dual threat QB in RS JR T. Jonsen (90 OVR). Jonsen finished last season with almost 2400 yds passing with 22 TD and 16 INT, well also racking up 600 yds and 5 TD's on the ground.

They also boast a very talented backfield with Senior's Taj Griffin (93 OVR) and Tony Brooks-James (89 OVR) looking to share the load. Both are also considered 2 of the top returner's in the game as Griffin is a NCAA-All American selection.



The Cougars are considered to be the front runners for the West Division. Led by QB Tanner Magnum (96 OVR), Magnum finished last season throwing for 3440 yds with 31 TD's and only 6 INT well also having a solid year on the ground with 414 yds and 4 TD. He makes the 2nd All-MWC preseason team.



QB L. Faulk is gone, but you can expect RS JR T. Hilinski (82 OVR) to take right over with Coach Leach's Air Raid offense, and he will have 2 very talented WR's on the receiving end. SR T. Martin JR (88 OVR) is a 1st Team All-American and All-MWC selection after posting a 77 rec 1143 yds 14 TD 2017 season, and fellow SR K. Sweet (85 OVR) is also a 1st team All MWC selection as he too went over 1000 yds last year with 87 rec 1064 yds and 10 TD.



The Utah Utes will look to challenge BYU for the West Division crown and chance to play in the MWC title game. They don't have 1 standout player but a solid team that makes them a 88 Overall.



The Beavers will look to rely heavily on SR RB R. Nall (90 OVR) who returns after back to back 1000 yds seasons (2016 1189 yds, 2017-1035 yds). However with 4 of the other 6 Mountain Division teams ranked ahead of them, they are just happy Idaho is in the division so they don't finish last.



If anyone has the chance to knock off BYU or Utah in the West, it's Nevada. The Wolfpack (84 OVR), have a talented dual threat QB in SR T. Gangi (86 OVR) who finished with 2375 yds and 19 TD's in the air and 434 yds an 4 TD on the ground, but his 17 INT's leave him very mistake prone, which could lead to fellow SR H. Fralick (84 OVR) seeing more time on the field.

Utah State (81 OVR), Wyoming (79 OVR), UNLV (77 OVR) and Idaho (72 OVR) are all looking to just not finish last.
