Oh my, I just finished playing these guys in my Texas A&M Dynasty and they are so much like real life. BJ Symons threw 52 times for 475 yards and 5 TD's. Tech lead into the half 31-28. I went on to win this one 56-38. I shut them down pretty much the whole second half. I knew this would happen so I figured I'd have to outscore them since their defense sucks. Great game!

In other news, I scored my first upset of the dynasty (year 1). I knocked off #7 Pitt 23-10. I limited Larry Fitzgerald to 3 catches 45 yards. My defense played great.

Almost upset #5 Virginia Tech but lost 31-28.

Glad I re-purchased this game.

As a Tech alum I adjusted their rosters and ratings and made them pretty much exactly what they are in real life. I ended up with an A offense and B defense and B+ overall which I think is about right. I decided to start a dynasty with Baylor and Tech threw a lot to Glover and Henderson in the 1st quarter and I couldn't stop it but then they became very predictable and I was able to win a 17-10 battle with a very overachieving Baylor. I'm 22-12 or somewhere around there one game into my 3rd year. I was offered a contract to Iowa but turned them down.

haha, The sad thing is that if we were in Conference USA and didn't play NCState and Miss then we'd have a top 50 D this year.

I use Tech also and in the first 3 games, Symons is over 1000 yards passing. I am 0-3 though...my D needs work, so much like real life Red Raiders! I lost 42-30 to Connecticut, 58-56 to TCU in 3 OT's (greatest game score of 1326), and 35-21 to NC State.

The game really has the Tech players underrated. Adjust the offense to an A and the defense to a B and special teams at B and you'll have a more accurate team. I'm in my 3rd year of my Baylor dynasty and Tech is doing just about what they should. Interesting thing is that UT and OU are both dropping off. I just need to recruit some stud linebackers. Haven't been able to in 3 recruiting classes.
