Heartland to Promised Land: Tom Doupes Coaching Dynasty

Console: PS3
Roster: NCAA 13 OS Community Roster
Sliders: jarodd21s Heisman Sliders
Difficulty: Heisman (Play & Recruiting)

Finally got the itch to attempt yet another NCAA Coaching Dynasty in NCAA 13' (haven't upgraded yet to NCAA 14') and hope that I can really create something interesting for this forum and myself.

Our coach for this dynasty is Tom Doupe who finds himself as the newly hired OC at Kent State University heading into the 2012-13 football season.

Re: Heartland To Promised Land: A Coaching Dynasty (NCAA 13)
 

Kent, Ohio - Kent State Athletic Director Joel Nielsen and second year Head Coach Darrell Hazell announced Tom Doupe as the new Offensive Coordinator for the Golden Flashes for the 2012-13 season. Doupe has spent the last 9 years at Otterbein University (DIII) as an OC. Doupe replaces Brian Rock, after he resigned due to family matters in the early offseason.


Doupe will have his work cut out for him. The Flashes finished 114th in points scored per game in the 2011-12 season and have limited offensive weapons.

Kent State Announces 2012-13 Depth Chart

Kent, Ohio - Kent States football staff released their 2012-13 depth chart to the media today and we're going to break down the key players for the Golden Flashes.

(x) denotes OVR rating

Quarterback

SR Spencer Keith (73) will get the start for the Flashes to start the season but he will need to improve and make smart decisions this year with JR David Fisher (70) waiting in the wings. Hazell and his staff have also made the decision to redshirt FR Colin Reardon (65) this season and give him time to prepare for his expanded role in two years. Redshirt FR Evan Shimensky (57) is listed third as the emergency option.

Halfback

The strength of this Kent State squad rests in the hands of their one-two punch at running back. SO Trayion Durham (75) acts as the power-back and speedy JR Dri Archer (71) give the Flashes a dynamic backfield. The performance of these two will likely decide the success of the Flashes this season. FR Julian Durden (69) will also be redshirted this season due to the talent overall in the backfield. Both SO Anthony Meray (67) and FR CJ Brathwaite (67) will see action and be available in case of injury.

Wide Receiver

If the backfield is the strength of this Flashes squad, the wideouts are its likely weakness. SR Tyshon Goode (73) is the only viable threat on the outside for this unit for opposing defenses. The rest of the wideouts are upperclassmen but won't offer more than "senior leadership" when it comes to offensive production.

Tight End

The combination of redshirt JR Tim Erjavec (65) and redshirt SO Casey Pierce (61) will likely be focused on blocking and aren't expected to be anything more than an occasional safety valve for Keith.

Offensive Line

The O-Line for the Flashes could be their other greatest strength on offense. Led by offensive captain SR Brian Winters (81) at LT, this unit is fairly capable upfront. Though there are questions surrounding the ability of JR Phil Huff (67) at center.

Defensive Line

Led by two preseason 1st Team ALL-MAC players in SR Jake Dooley (79) at RE and JR Roosevelt Nix (83) at DT, the defensive line should be more than capable of making some noise in the MAC.

Linebackers

The linebacking corp is led by defensive captain SR Luke Batton (84) at MLB. Other than Batton and JR CJ Malauulu (76) there is a lot of youth in this unit. Hopefully, the leadership of Batton will help coach up the young members of the linebacker unit.

Secondary

Many questions await the Golden Flashes secondary. Are they disciplined enough to not get beat deep? Can they withstand some of the better passing offenses in the MAC? The defensive coaching staff will have to rely on JR CB Darius Polk (74) RS-SO FS Calvin Triggle (76) and hope they can stay injury free this season.

Special Teams

Young and Old are the themes for the Kent State special teams this year. With SR K Freddy Cortez (77) and FR P Anthony Melchiori.

We'll be back in the next fews days when Kent State releases their finalized 2012-13 schedule.

Kent, Ohio - The Golden Flashes opened up the 2012-13 football season with a bang against the lowly FCS Towson Tigers on a beautiful September day at Dix Stadium. Hazell's young men played a somewhat mistake prone game but the talent disparity was apparent as they routed the Tigers 70-16 in the season opener.

The Flashes defense looked particularly healthy in their new "Pistol Flash" offense that Hazell worked on developing with OC Doupe in the early part of the off season.


The Flashes will have a stiff challenge next week when they travel to Lexington to face Kentucky (0-1). Kickoff scheduled for Noon with TV coverage available regionally, check your local listings.
