How is your dynasty going

Missouri State Dynasty, Year 1 (2014), Week 2 vs ECU Record: (0-0)

BEARS WALK THE PLANK

In a nightmarish start to the season, the Missouri State Bears were blown out by the ECU Pirates, 31-6. True Freshman QB Cole Pearmen had a horrible day as he completed just 11 passes out of 29 attempts, including 5 interceptions and 1 fumble. He did not throw for any touchdowns. ECU's offense was nearly unstoppable through the air aside from 5 sacks and 3 interceptions by the Bears defense.

ECU Senior QB Marques Baker had a great game as he completed 18 passes of 26 attempts for 320 yards and 2 TDs. Halfback Omarr Harrison ran for just 25 yards but scored 2 TDs. WR Luke Randolph and WR Eric Murphy were running circles around the Bears defense. Randolph finished with 6 receptions for 162 yards and 1 TD, while the 6'3 230lb Murphy caught 5 for 84 yards and 1 TD. He had to leave in the 3rd quarter with a Pectoral injury and he is out for 3 weeks, which could be a big loss for ECU. CB Brad Montoya had 2 INTs.

The Bears offense struggled through the air and on the ground. HB Matt Young started strong with some really nice runs where he was trucking defenders, but slowed down as the game went on. True Freshman QB Cole Pearman had a horrible first game, as already mentioned. WR/TE Jim King was the bright spot on offense as he caught 5 passes for 117 yards, but had a shocking 4 dropped passes. TE Zach Holman caught 2 passes for 22 yards. With less then a minute left in the half and ECU up 7-0, Pearman connected with Holman off a play action fake and he ran it 85 yards for a game tying touchdown, however, a holding penalty brought the play back. The Bears were forced to punt, and ECU completed a hail mary to Eric Murphy on the last play of the half to put them up 14-0. A devastating penalty, to say the least, as Missouri State never got back into the game.

The loss drops the Bears to (0-1), as they open the season with a loss for the 6th year in a row. ECU improves to (1-1). Next week Missouri State will have their home opener vs (1-0) Ball State.

So a change of plans on my dynasty. I'm actually going to do a Hawaii Warriors rebuilding dynasty. I just think that it would be tougher test then FAU. I'll post updates hear in a little bit.

And this is why I love this game (and yes, I just recently bought it so it's still fresh to me). Coming off a 48-14 beat down of Houston at home to improve to 4-1, I go to Louisiana-Monroe and lose a 31-29 heartbreaker. Thought I was going to roll this season to an 11-1 or 10-2 record (only real toss-up game in Sun Belt would be Louisiana-Lafayette) but I got caught napping and lost to someone I didn't expect.

Granted it's a coaching dynasty so I can't play defense, but my offense wasn't as good as they normally are. I scored 7 points off a pun-return for a TD and got another easy 7 after my defense picked off a pass and I started a drive on ULM's 12 yard line.

It was a great game, too. And remember, anything defense or special teams related is simmed.

I had just kicked a FG to go up 16-10 with about 4:00 to go in the 3rd quarter and on the next series my defense forced a 3 and out, and my special teams returned a punt to make it 23-10 with about 3:00 to go in the third quarter. Neither team did anything the rest of the quarter, but my defense got the interception return to the ULM 12 yard line early in the 4th...about 7:00 to go (I play 9 minute quarters). I scored in two plays later and had a 29-10 (kicker missed the XP) lead with 6:30 to go.

Then the wheels fell off. ULM quickly retaliated with a TD drive to make it 30-17 and got a pick-six to make it 29-24 with 2:35 to go. I tried to run out the clock and make ULM use all their timeouts but all three of my runs went for no gain or just one or two yards, and ULM go the ball back with more than 2:00 remaining. They put together a clock-eating drive and scored the go ahead TD with 0:05 left, and ultimately won 31-29.

Coming off a 70% completion, 450 yard, 4 TD game against Houston my QB was awful. Completing just 12 of 29 passes for 148 yards, 0 TD, and 2 INT. My line did a terrible job blocking, too, as my QB was sacked 7 times.


My only gripe with the super-simming aspect of coaching dynasty (where you're the OC) is not being able to kick extra points. I've got a sophomore kicker who's a 78 OVR. His kick power is only a 71 but his accuracy is 86, but he's already missed 3 extra points 6 games into the season.

Beat LSU 24-21 in the snowy game that was close the entire time. Was on the edge of my seat the whole game...crazy! Even though there record was terrible to beat an SEC team is a huge confidence boost going into next season. We finished the year 12-2(8-1).

Just finished up year 3 of my coaching/UCA dynasty. A little upset because my head coach (Clint Conque) took a job at Louisville. I was hoping UCA would offer me the head coaching job, but we went with NC State defensive coordinator Dave Huxtable instead.

Anyway, we went 10-3 and lost in the Orange Bowl to Clemson, 38-31. Was a real naibiter/hearbreaker. We went back and forth most of the game and I thought I was in position to win. It was a tie game, 31-31, and I had the ball in Clemson territory with a little over 1:00 to go. Completed a pass on a curl route down to the Clemson 17 yard line with 0:45 to go, and followed that up with two straight runs for a total of five yards. On 3rd down I ran it again to center the ball for the game winning FG and...boom, my RB gets leveled, fumbles, and Clemson picks it up and returns it for a TD. Game over, Clemson wins 38-31. Almost rage quit because I tried talking myself into the "the computer cheated me" argument. But, at the same time, I was foolish to try and run one more play on 3rd down instead of just kicking the FG.

Still, had a great season and my true sophomore QB finished 3rd in the Heisman voting. And I finished the season ranked #21.

Here's some quick stats:

QB Chris Jones, SO: 319/489, 4,763 yards, 44 TD, 10 INT, 172.7 rating

HB Danzel Williams, JR(RS): 249 carries, 1,128 yards, 4.5 ypc, 12 TD, 34 receptions, 500 yards, 14.7 ypc, 2 TD

WR Connor Whitehead, SR(RS): 107 receptions, 1,597 yards, 14.9 ypc, 15 TD


My offense was nearly unstoppable. Even in the three losses, I scored 30+ points in two of them.

Want to say next year could be "my year" but I'm losing my top two receivers and four of my five starters on the offensive line are graduating. I have recruited a few good offensive linemen who should fill in nicely, but I'm losing a JUCO OT I recruited in year one that had progressed to an 86 OVR by his senior year.

Landed my highest ranked recruiting class (56th) while also landing three 4-star recruits and 11 3-star recruits. Finally making some headway in attracting higher ranked/better recruits.

I got offered a few head coaching jobs at schools like UNLV, Fresno State, and Louisiana-Monroe after the season, but my original plan was to stay at UCA the entirety of my four year contract unless I got offered a HC job at a BCS conference school. I'm up to a level 14 OC, so I should get offered some solid HC jobs from some BCS/AQ conference schools next year.
