#24 LSU vs #14 MIAMI

#5 Notre Dame is on the road against #9 Alabama. Any other time thats a clear cut game of the week especially with both of those offenses expected to be explosive, but lets be honest.... this LSU MIAMI game is huge. The defending Champions lose their coach to one of the premier programs in college football followinv Ed O's retirement and coaches were salivating over this job. They quickly decide on Arch and LSU opens the season against Miami, who is one of only 2 teams that beat Arch last year. There wont be any first game new team issues, there wont be a learning curve, LSU will be at home, the atmosphere will be crazy, this game will be good. LSU has everything on both ends to make a title run but its the team speed that stands out to me. This team has athletes on both sides of the ball and will give Miami alot of problems. Cane is a great coach and does a good job at maximizing what he has but this will be the best team they see all year. Joe Burrow type season for LSU, starts with a big win against the Canes.

Prediction: LSU 38 MIAMI 24


NEXT ADVANCE

Re: RIVALS LAST RUN 2029-2030


Closer than I wanted but K missed 3 FGA 2 short and one I hit the cross bar. He did make a chip shot for the W though.

[JEJunior]

Re: RIVALS LAST RUN 2029-2030

no pics or anything I got too busy

My take on the game (3 hours ago so its fuzzy) is it was real close all first half. Both teams played aggressive but calculated at the same time. Felt like Arch was feeling the pressure of possibly losing a game he won because we were way sharper this time around. Felt like I was feeling the pressure of knowing even tho the lag did most of the damage the first time I was still facing a team thats capable of running away with the game. Biggest plays in the first half were me getting a goalline interception and shifting the momentum a little bit up 7-3, me holding Arch to what I thought was a goalline stand but he took off scrambling in one second and scored on 3rd down, and Arch getting a fg before the half to make it 13-10 when we shouldve stopped him. The td irritated me bc of how quick he took off but I looked back at it and we got in quick since we were in goalline. Shouldve made the tackle but instead we rolled him into the endzone. Cant make excuses for plays like that when we play soft.

3rd qtr I call the perfect drive and we score in the first minute and get a 17-13 lead. Things still even. I dont remember what happened but both teams get scoreless drives. Arch has it on his 29 and thats when that 71 yd run happened. I was irritated bc 1 its an easy rule to follow but 2 I know how momentum works on this game and after that play everything changed. We dropped 4-5 picks after that and a huge pass deep in my territory that lead to a safety. Archs offense kept converting the 3rd downs we made plays on the first half. My RB got hurt too. I think he scored every drive after that play. Im not mad now but during the game I was heated because I just know this game too well. That momentum changes everything and we were on the road against a way better team, one of the goals was to not give up big plays for that reason and outside of that play we did. Arch was one point tho so Im not going to make excuses. Even without that play Im not 100% sure we stop him anyway because his playcalling with this team was on point both times.

I'll hold this L, better team did win I cant argue that. We got lucky beating SC last year so it was gone take a perfect game to do it this year. Gotta bounce back against UCLA and handle business against another team with way more talent.

GG Arch, I appreciate the replay. This one was another good game and good execution on your part. The play that pissed me off more than anything was the TE drop down 6 before the safety. Thats when I knew it was over smh. Boys choked.

WEEK 2





***** GOTW *****
#23 MIAMI vs #17 UCLA

UCLA fans are elated to not only have College Gameday covering their game for the first time
in a long time, but this is the first time that UCLA has been the highest rated U5 team at any point. UCLA comes in following a close win on the road against Texas Tech where the Bruins were lead by their star QB Reggie Anderson, who for those who may not know projects as the #2 QB to be taken in next years draft. Anderson was precise this past week and will face a Miami secondary who didnt look too sharp against LSU. A side note in this one is that this will be the first time these two brothers will face in the Last Run. Since the beginning of Rivals the teams have never been this close so what is usually expected as an older brother win in this sibling rivalry could end up being an upset in the family. Miami is a more disciplined team and will make UCLA work for everything, but UCLA has some playmakers that can help keep this game close.

Prediction: MIA 27 UCLA 20

Prediction: LSU 38 MIA 24 -> LSU 39 MIA 24

Sorry about that run. I wanted to run a different looking formation, because this air raid pb literally has a bunch of formations that look exactly the same and I forgot about the no runs to the empty side rule. Honest mistake on my part. Just some things I noticed this time around. Your dline was getting crazy pressure almost all game. That's why i had so many throw away passes. On that Qb td run, it was either take off and run or get sacked. Your guys got in there that fast. 3rd quarter was laggy for me, idk if it was for you. Thought we couldn't call a hb screen then throw to another target? We had your screens locked down until you did that, because i stopped running over to the screen. At least that use to be a rule. Both teams had dropped picks and passes. Your dline really stopped any big plays from me tbh. I cooked up a few dots but didn't have time for them happen. GG.

you good as long as you know now.. if it wasnt a rule I wouldve stopped it tho, I sent me people the opposite way knowing you couldnt run that direction lol it is what it is.. that QB run we deflee got in there quick af, I went back to see what happened and it was a legit escape, Breezy cant recruit thats on him smh

That HB screen rule was in Hogans league I think, all my leagues have been built around QB pressure so its hard to throw anywhere else any way.. I called that screen specifically to go at you and make you hesitate lol all design.. I dont think you had as many sure picks as we did, that momentum never got back on our side and my guys usually catch those.. we're actually a good turnover forcing team

all good tho we werent supposed to win anyway thats why Im not as mad.. score wouldve been closer maybe but thats about it

I thought the screen rule was in this league or use to be.. Guess i got a new play to run now lol. I know the no running to the empty side rule use to be different. You use do it to the short side of the field, if i remember correctly.

I dont think we ever even talked about screens in this league, could be wrong but it goes with most things as far as keeping it sim.. I know in Supporters people would drop back 10 yards and bomb it, I tried to use mine like a miss direction, dude just ran a simple in route and I threw it quick.. didnt feel cheesy to me personally, you'd probably have to see the replay like I did when you ran.. we can add it if you think it needs to be added tho, I just know some rules were a direct result of easy settings like the rule where you had to fall out of bounds or dive at the 2 yard like if you were up by 40 lol.. anything that needs to be in Im good with

weakside run rule lasted a week or 2 and I changed it right back

Nah, its not cheesy.. Like I said, now i have a new play to run. There' was reason why i've never called a hb screen in any of our user games before, i thought we HAD to throw it to the hb.

lol well you saying that like its a cheesy play [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] whether it is or not if you feel like a play is in the gray area dont run it.. every rule I have is to keep everything that people use to take advantage of the AI out, but its a sim league first so go by what you know first.. theres things I dont have a rule about that I still wont do bc if it even feels cheesy or if I were to break a rule I would feel like I cheated my way to a win.. Im saying all that in general not just about this

Re: RIVALS LAST RUN 2029-2030

23 MIAMI vs 17 UCLA

Not much to tell.. UCLA started well, but the lack of football IQ shows up heavy on these settings.. you have to know football and timing and coverages and all that to have a chance on these and my bro never learned all that and wont let me explain it so its really no chance at all.. I had 2 user picks in man coverage because he was watching me instead of making the right read on the play, usually that works but not on these.. GG tho, gone be another tough year for UCLA these settings are just built for coaches not players
