Taking Out the Trash - A Coaching Career

[isd71]

Welcome to my NCAA Football 14 coaching career dynasty. Some of you guys might remember me from digital sports scene where I ran a NCAA Football 11 dynasty under the same name.

I am going to take on the role of a head coach starting at South Alabama and working my way up the carousel. I will try to avoid OC/DC roles if possible and have set coach progress on slow.

Settings
I am using Chedapalooza's Auto-Pass Set and will let the CPU do all the throwing because I suck at passing/reading defenses.

Recruiting Rules
I will make house rules for recruiting as I go but for starters I am recruiting only from neighbor states, home state and those prospects who are interested in me. I am only scouting in the preseason and after a recruit has signed and will balance points between recruiting and game day skills. I will also try my best not to oversign players and will only offer seniors+2 scholarships at a time.

CPU Coach Edits
Also of note all triple options teams have been adjusted to 65% run and run balanced playbook to prevent them from dominating sim games and help them in user games.

Custom Conferences
I have kept everything as true real life as possible without using teambuilder. The only noticeable chance is UAB to the Sun Belt. I moved them because the CUSA had 13 teams and the Sun Belt has 9 teams. The move evens things out and UAB is great fit for the #FunBelt with Troy and South Alabama already in the league.

Credits and Props
Thanks to PocketScout for his Wepage Tool. I wouldn't have the time to compile all of the data without it.
Thanks to you for even reading this thing.

Week 1 - Home - FCS West


Jones' Big Day Rallies Jaguars in Coach Gilham's Debut

Mobile, Ala. - Junior running back Jay Jones scored four times as the South Alabama Jaguars (1-0) scored 38 unanswered points to erase a 10-point deficit and defeat FCS West (0-1) 38-17 at Ladd-Peoples Stadium in Head Coach Barrett Gilham's debut.

Jones overcame a slow start to amass 119 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns on 22 carries. He also caught four passes for 57 yards and one of two touchdown passes from senior quarterback Ross Metheny.

With the ground game struggling early, Metheny went to the air and found success. He completed 27 passes for 319 yards and went to tight end Wes Saxton early and often. Saxton finished the day with 9 catches for 90 yards, both team highs.

The Jaguars will hit the road next week when they face the Tennessee Volunteers (1-0).

Going to be a unique challenge for sure since they are basically a brand new program in the game. That is why I am a running an offense and defense that allows me to utilize whatever strengths the talent on my team has.

Week 2 - Tennessee (2-0) vs South Alabama (1-1) - Knoxville, Tenn. (Neyland Stadium) - L, 31-13



Volunteers Put Away Jaguars with 14-Point Fourth Quarter


Bryant Lavender caught a school record 11 passes in a near 100-yard receiving day

Knoxville, Tenn. - Rajion Neal rushed for three touchdowns and quarterback Justin Worley added a fourth on the ground as the Tennessee Volunteers scored 17 points in the second half to defeat the South Alabama Jaguars 31-13 on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Neyland Stadium.

Neal was limited to just 52 rushing yards on 16 carries but capitalized in the red zone thanks in part to the Volunteers' (2-0) third-down efficiency (7-10).

Tennessee stymied the Jaguars' (1-1) passing attack and allowed only 6.57 yards per completion. Quarterback Ross Metheny went 25 of 32 for 197 and tossed the lone South Alabama touchdown to T.J. Glover right before halftime.

Bryant Lavender caught a school-record 11 passes for 97 yards, while running back Jay Jones was limited to 65 yards on 20 carries.

On defense Dontavis Sapp recorded four tackles for loss for the Volunteers, while Jaguar corner Qudarius Ford intercepted a Worley pass in the red zone and recorded a tackle for loss.

South Alabama returns home in two weeks to host their final non-conference game against Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers are off to a 1-0 start after a 42-10 home win over the Navy Midshipmen.

Hilltoppers Stun Jaguars in Overtime


Danny Woodson, Jr. caught the Jaguar's lone touchdown pass

Mobile, Ala. - James Mauro threw two touchdown passes including one in overtime to rally the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to a 26-23 overtime win over the homestanding South Alabama Jaguars.

The Jaguars (1-2) led by a touchdown, 20-13, heading into the fourth quarter but the Hilltoppers (2-0) quickly tied the game with a touchdown just 20 seconds into the period. USA kicked a field goal in their overtime possession before Mauro hit an open receiver for the walk-off score.

The redshirt-sophomore quarterback finished with 181 passing yards on 13 completions. Running back Antonio Andrews rushed for 164 yards on 19 carries, and Leon Allen added a touchdown on three rushing attempts.

Jaguar quarterback Ross Metheny completed 26 passes for 227 yards and a score in the loss.

Running back Jay Jones carried the ball 28 times for 99 yards and a touchdown, while receiver Danny Woodson Jr. caught five passes for 63 yards and the lone passing touchdown.

After a bye week the Jaguars will open Sun Belt Conference play on the road at Troy. The Trojans are 2-2, 1-1 on the season with wins over UAB and Duke.
