    WEEK 1

    ***** GAME OF THE WEEK *****
    GEORGIA @ #7 ARKANSAS


    There are a few nice matchups this week worth watching particularly in the SEC. #1 Alabama looks to defend their national title at home against South Carolina, Kentucky and Louisville will have their rivalry spiced up as it just became a U5 game, #11 Auburn @ Missouri could be pretty interesting as well. The Game of the Week however is Georgia on the road against #7 Arkansas. The face of the Bulldogs is Cedric Davis, the 6'2 204lb JR RB who had an incredible 2225 rushing yards last season and starts the year as the favorite to win the Heisman. He will be the focus to stop for Arkansas but if you look at what else Georgia has you'll see a very young but talented team. All of their skill positions both on offense and defense, with the exception of their top receiver, are underclassmen who will return next year so Georgia is definitely going to be a force next year if they keep going in this direction. The young talent in their secondary is scary and I think that group can already give Arkansas some problems. Arkansas has weapons in the passing game to go at the Bulldogs but they dont have a running game outside of their QB so that will be the key matchup. Arkansas defensively is as solid as they come, their talk will be to stop the Davis in the running game but he hasnt had any problems against SEC defenses so idk if that happens. Good matchup for week 1 as Arkansas will look to their defense to keep this fast rising Georgia team in check. Dont be surprised if theres a top 10 shift in the rankings next week.



    ***** GAMES TO WATCH *****
    South Carolina 0-0 @ #1 Alabama 0-0
    Alabama at home is tough to beat so I expect them to walk away with a win even if South Carolina comes out and plays well for 4 quarters. Too much talent for defending national champions.

    Louisville 0-0 @ Kentucky 0-0
    Kentucky has a new coach who will be feeling out the team for the first time but this matchup between U5 coaches will be interesting. NCAA investigators have not made an announcement on Louisville yet but the rumors are still looming, Cards fans hope it wont affect this game



    _____________________________________
    NEXT ADVANCE
    whenever these 2 games are played


    • LOOK AT THE RULE LIST, read it again.. ignore the things you dont do anyway, focus on the ones you think you would do

    • One rule was added for the QB.. if you call a rollout play or Play Action of any sort you are free to leave the pocket no questions asked

    • 4verts has been added to the ban list.. it was already banned but this first page wasnt supposed to be a complete list of rules but thats what its becoming since people keep breaking them

    • Top 5 and Pipeline only in recruiting

        What a night for a rivalry game!

        Louisville comes into Lexington looking to defend the trophy (idk what it's called) against a lowly Kentucky team. The only difference this time was the new coach, Rico Suave, who is slowly becoming more recognizable around campus and the city.

        The first quarter started out as if the two teams were two fighters feeling each other out. The quarter ended with the sides trading field goals.

        The second quarter comprised of good defensive stands by both teams, which saw them trading non-scoring possessions. Kentucky ended the deadlock by mustering up enough plays that saw their TE come up with his first score of the year.

        After halftime, it was as if Louisville forgot what they were playing for. They were held scoreless for the rest of the game, while Kentucky was able to put up a total of 17 points.

        After the game, coach Suave reminded the media of something that they may not have been aware of. It was that his old team, SMU, played against Louisville and this coach around this time last season and lost in a horrible fashion after multiple turnovers. The coach let the media present know that coming to Kentucky, playing in a rivalry game, and winning against the coach that made his former team look bad was a very satisfying feeling.

        Kentucky finally breaks the streak against Louisville in a 27-3 victory.

        Go Wildcats!

                  Bama RTA. Basically same score. Not as good passing stats though. Probably same amount of sacks given up, 6. ... they ran their QB 13 times.. competed 13 passes for 93 yards.

                      35-28. I scored with a little over a minute left after hitting Black on a 42 yard pass on 3rd n 10. Black had to have around 140 yards receiving. I remember his average was 20.1 after that catch. I also probably gave up 200 yards rushing. Mainly to the QBs. Gonna be a long season for the tide.

                            Haha yeah I scored twice in the 4th this go, the last score with 1:26 left so made it look a little worse.

                            First time it was back n forth.
                            3-0, 3-7, 6-7, 6-14, 14-14, 21-14, 21-21, 21-28, 28-28, 35-28 (52 secs left actually. Not a minute. Just looked at my notes lol [emoji23])
