Tell me about it lol. I gotta get depth at a lot positions and I gotta get better players to replace the people I have starting rn. Only spot thats all right is DT. Feels/looks like I took over a bad MAC team tbh.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I looked at your roster for my predictions, yal not even remotely that bad lol.. Just wont blow the good teams out probably, still can win the SEC. We'll see how these settings hold up tho, maybe it will be different without a 99 ovr team but I gotta see it to believe it

WEEK 2

[Archsmith99]

Re: RIVALS 28-29

Syracuse got the ball first and scored pretty easy. We got the ball and after some dropped passes and missed throws, we kicked a fg. We forced Syracuse to punt, then we punted the ball back to them. Defense forces Syracuse to attempt a fg, and they miss. We score a td on offense to take the lead, 10-7. Not a lot of time left on the clock before halftime but their Qb breaks a bunch a tackles and scored a td on a 40-50 yard run. Halftime score 14-10, Syracuse. My Qb at this time was 10-21 a 100 something yards passing 0tds. Kept him in and had a nice 1st drive of the 3rd quarter going, until he was sacked and fumbled the ball. One of my OL kept getting the ball, trying to pick it up, when he finally did, it was 2nd and 41. Qb threw a pick on the next play smh. Pass was just a short pass, but it was behind my wr. Defense somehow holds Syracuse to a fg. 17-10, now we make a change at Qb. His first drive he played ok, but were forced to punt after a drop pass on 3rd down. Defense forces another punt. After that our offense started to click, and we ended up winning 31-17. Defense was the reason we won this game, they gave up a couple wtf plays, forced 0 turnovers but got stops when we needed them. We also got a new starting Qb.

6 OKLAHOMA vs RICE

1st Half
Our game plan for Rice didnt go as expected and they were able to move the ball on their first drive. Their QB picked us apart the whole half to be honest, I expected our secondary to cover alot better. We held them to a long field goal and it came up short. We got stuffed on our first drive but a deep ball from Davis to Trae put us in scoring range and Dunlap got the first TD of the season. They answered with a td the next drive but our defense was solid the rest of the half and kept them out of the endzone. Offense wasnt crazy but we played smart. A few drops, some throw aways, some throws that Davis took hits but we didnt force passes like last year. Dunlap and Alfred both had rushing tds as we went into halftime up 28-7.

2nd Half
Picked up where we left in really just trying to stay efficient and smart. Davis continued to look sharp, went through progressions, didnt force anything. Trae came in as a 5 star and he showed us everything we saw in practice so he will likely be the guy this year. He looked good on a couple of reverses as well. Outside of some drops I'll wait to see how my WR core looks next week. We went up 38-7 and got the backups in for the 4th. Everybody got some touches so this was a good way to start the season. On the road against Florida next week for a payback game. We beat them at home last year but they got us in the Sugar Bowl.

WEEK 3


[emoji91] GOTW [emoji91]
#14 GEORGIA vs #22 LSU

Georgia is 0-1 after losing by a fg to #5 Alabama in the opening week. The Bulldogs looked good against one of the teams expected to make a championship run, but they need a big win this week or their season could end before it even begins. They will have their hands full this week as well against an LSU team that has already taken steps in the right direction. Tigers believe they have found their QB after making a switch midgame and looking great in the second half.

This game will come down to the trenches. If Georgia has time in the pocket and can get their run game going I think they can really put the pressure on LSU's defense. LSU handled business against a very good Syracuse team, but Cuse is one dimensional. Georgia has weapons on all levels. LSU hopes to start this game faster than they did last week, but if Stovall is under pressure and having to rush throws it could change everything. Georgia has a good secondary as well so it will all come down to the trenches.

The run blocking will be huge as well. LSU is a passing offense but last week they had more rushing attempts than any team Arch has fielded in the past 7 seasons. That was mainly due to the QB struggles and late lead. Georgia has one of the best backs in the country but Arch led teams are known for being great against the run. The team that controls the run game on both sides will have the upperhand but again, thats all about the trenches.

Re: RIVALS 28-29

Saw a couple upsets this week, the major one being Boston college beating #1 OSU. Georgia got the ball first and their Rb broke a couple long runs but Georgia had to settle for a fg. Our first drive Stovall went 5/5 passing and ended the drive with a td pass to our 6'8 TE. Rest of 1st half, Georgia only got another fg, as our defense forced a pick and forced a couple punts. Stovall would threw 2 ints in the 1st half, one was just a good play by the db, the other was bs. Off my wr leg and caught on the ground by a db. 2nd half we got our lead up to 21 but Georgia cut it to 14 late in the 4th. LSU beats Georgia 34-20.

23 FLORIDA vs 6 OKLAHOMA

1st Half
Florida gets ball first and scores on their opening drive, couldnt get them off the field on 3rd down. We traded scores after Davis hit Tray on a corner route in the endzone, and Young their WR turning an out route into a 51 yd td. We fumbled twice in our first 2 possessions but got them both back, run game was getting stuffed. After a punt my son Eli gets his 2nd pick of the year and houses it to tie the game at 14. 2nd qtr we continued to struggle to run or pass against their defense, they just had everything covered. We had under 100 yds. Defense we still struggled on 3rd downs. They scored 10 that qtr to our 0.. 24-14 Florida at the half.

2nd half
We got the ball first and made some minor adjustments but their defense still had us in a box. 4th & 1 inside the 10 they stuff us, 3rd downs kill us on both sides, Davis was at 3 ints even tho they had 4, they score another 10 unanswered going up 34-14. Late in the 3rd we go for it 4th and short, hit Hill on a quick stop and he runs backwards 5 yards to make the catch. They score the next play on a 79 yd run. 41-14 Florida. 4th we sub in Lawrence at QB just tonsee what he can do and he absolutely kills it. 2 bombs to Tray followed by a 1 yd run to Dunlap, then the next drive he gets us down the field again and hits Tray for a 10 yd td in the back of the endzone. Florida couldnt be stopped on offense tho, we had 4 ints, they never punted, scored every other possession of the game. Florida embarrasses us 55-28.

Hard to say, Florida could just have your number. They've won 3 straight right?
