Two defensive starters out for Florida Atlantic
__________________________________________________ __________________________

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Florida Atlantic is heading into Saturday going against a high power offense of East Carolina; with already not the best defense, and adding two of their defensive starts to that, doesn't make it any easier.
Free safety Damian Params and defensive end Cory Henry will be unable to go for this week's game. Params came down with the flu this week, Wednesday to be exact. Left end Cory Henry will be out anywhere from two to four weeks. He suffered a sprained ankle in this practice this week.
Both players are big parts of this defense, so it will be interesting to see how this FAU defense performs against an offense like East Carolina's.

Re: The Coaching Career of Greg Patterson (NCAA 14)
What are your guys' thoughts on this graphic for game recaps?
I would still do a write up, but I don't know if I'll do it in the graphic or do a "regular post" of it.
Also, do you think I should add anything to it?

Thanks! So, you like this one more than the ESPN one? I'm thinking I will use this because it looks much more cleaner to me than the ESPN one.
Plus, this goes with my weekly NCAA update theme.
I'm also thinking I will do the write up in a "regular post" format or whatever you you call it.Comment

Okay, guys, I think this will be my new game recap graphic. I will have my write up under neath as well. What do you guys think of it?
Oh, and bit off topic. But, I just had lighting literally 5 feet away from my house it hit the freaking power line too. I'm surprise the power didn't go out or anything, lol.

GREENVILLE, NC. -- ECU quarterback Shane Carden picked apart Florida Atlantic's secondary and the defense as a whole.
Breaking the school record for passing yards in the process with 452 yards. Carden at halftime had over 300 yards passing at by the 3:00 minute mark in the third quarter he had 422 yards, which when he broke the record. He passed for a touchdown and ran for another two.
Receivers Reese Wiggins (8 Rec, 132 Yds, TD) and Daniel Webster (8 Rec, 119 Yds) both had over 100 yards receiving.
"They have an amazing quarterback playing for them and we just played horrible secondary wise." Said head coach Greg Patterson to reports after the game. "When you can't get any pressure, that just adds more time for him to read the defense and make great throws."
Florida Atlantic (0-2, 0-1) loss to an almost identical score as last week, the only difference is them scoring one less point. Three different quarterbacks played for FAU.
Stephen Curtis started the game and despite being the most accurate completing 54% of his passes compared to 30% of the other two quarterbacks, he threw four interceptions. Backup Quez Johnson threw for only 19 yards and a lone interception. While third stringer Melvin German threw two interceptions.
The only bright spot of the team was Martese Jackson. Who broke off a 62 yard run and a 33 yard catch. He finished with 64 yards and 58 yards of receiving.
"Curtis will remain the starter coming into next week. Even though he had a poor performance, he was still the most accurate out of the three." Said Patterson about the quarterbacks.
Florida Atlantic as a team turned the ball over 7 times, all being interceptions.
East Carolina (2-0, 1-0) opened up the game scoring 21 unanswered points and would have a 38-6 lead at halftime.
Florida Atlantic will travel to Tampa to play the South Florida Bulls. While East Carolina will be looking for an upset against Virginia Tech.
Since, I'm not doing the teams top performers and team stats. You can still check those starts out and more. At my dynasty page thing on Avid Manager

TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- Marcus Rush ran for a career high 210 yards and a touchdown to help his team beat Florida Atlantic 31-6.
He also broke off three runs for at least 20+ yards, one going for a 25 yard touchdown.
South Florida (2-1, 0-0) started the game off with a near two minute drive for a touchdown. Little bit later in the first, quarterback Bobby Eveld would hit his receiver Derrick Hopkins and Hopkins took off for a huge 74 yard touchdown to give the Bulls a 14-0 lead.
Hopkins caught the ball only 3 times, but would have 126 yards receiving. Sean Price would be the only other receiver with positive yards receiving with 69 yards. Andre Davis caught a pass for -1 yards.
That wasn't the only big play from the Bulls, as they had many big pass and run plays on the day. Which is a big reason for Florida Atlantic (0-3, 0-1) having 9 more first downs than them with 23.
The Owls would get just inside the Bull's 50 for most of the game, but would then stall.
"We played good for most of the every drive, but then when we needed a big third down, we just couldn't get it done." Said head coach Greg Patterson. "We kept having 3rd and long due to a sack or the halfback getting tackled in the backfield."
Despite another loss. Florida Atlantic fans have to be happy what they saw from junior quarterback Stephen Curtis. Curtis started the game off sharp completing 10 in row passes after having his first incomplete. He finished 29 for 51, 303 yards, a touchdown, and a lone interception which occurred on his last pass attempt of the game.
"I really liked what I saw from him [Stephen Curtis] today. He played great out there and would have, and should have better stats than he did. If his receivers wouldn't stop dropping the ball. It doesn't matter how many great throws your QB makes, if the receivers can't catch the ball." Said Patterson.
Florida Atlantic receivers combined for 8 total drops, 5 of those coming from the team's star receiver William Dukes.
Florida Atlantic's only points came in the second quarter when Stephen Curtis hit halfback Damian Fortner for a 11 yard touchdown. They would go for two, but would fail conversion.
Florida Atlantic will head for a much needed home game against Middle Tennessee State next week. While South Florida will have a bye week.
