How's your dynasty going?

[Curry59]

I am in year one of my Nebraska dynasty. I'm currently 4-0 and heading into my first bye week. I play on Heisman with tweaked sliders. I had a thriller against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. I was running all over them, leading 29-7 heading into the fourth quarter when Tyrod Taylor caught fire. The Hokies scored 22 unanswered points and the game went into OT where I eventually won. Awesome game and it reminded me of why I enjoy this game more than Madden.

Currently ranked at #15. I created all of Nebraska's commits up to this point (Tyler Gabbert, Andrew Rodriguez, Donovan Vestal and a few others) and am doing well recruiting them, but Gabbert might be a tough one to land as I am currently sixth on his interest list. Any pointers on how I can lure him away from the bigger schools that he's interested in?

Stats through four games:

Zac Lee; 66% completion rate, 702 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT, 29 rushing yards, TD
Cody Green; 58% completion rate, 402 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 197 rushing yards, 2 TD

Roy Helu; 88 carries, 597 yards, 7 TD
Rex Burkhead; 38 carries, 276 yards, 3 TD
Lester Ward; 21 carries, 87 yards

Menelik Holt; 19 receptions, 288 yards, 3 TD
Antonio Bell; 15 receptions, 300 yards, 2 TD
Niles Paul; 14 receptions, 167 yards, 2 TD
Mike McNeill; 10 receptions, 144 yards

Ndamukong Suh; 20 tackles, 6 TFL, 4 sacks
Pierre Allen; 18 tackles, 7 TFL, 3 sacks

Looking to recruit well and aggressively so I can land the recruits that I created that Nebraska has as commits in real life... Any pointers with recruiting would be much appreciated!

Re: How's your dynasty going?

I have began a dynasty for my first time with my Tennessee Volunteers. It's been and easy start for us, as we are currently 3-0. But we slid by florida by the white on our teeth, here is the leaders as of week 3 and scores.

Vols: 45
WKU: 7

Vols: 35
UCLA: 17

Vols: 27
Florida: 24


Coach kiffin and his team are very excited as the rest of the schedule isn't that bad, his team is playing their hearts out each and every Saturday.

John Crompton #8
Passing Leader

Montario Hadrdesty #2
Rushing Leader

Marcellus Teague #10
Receiving Leader

The vols have some true freshman talent on the offense in Richardson #7 Brown #11 Teague # 10 these young men have constantly helped them move the ball in crucial situations.

The vols are very excited coming off that florida road win, but now it's time to get back to business.

Doing way better than expected. I'm in year 3. Don't get around to it much anymore, thanks to college and football practice...

Re: How's your dynasty going?

7-1 with Air Force in Year 1, with tweaked sliders. Just beat #18 Utah at their place 37-36, on a touchdown pass from my dual threat wide-out (quarterback went down for 8 weeks with an abdominal strain) with no time left on the clock. He by no means is fast with a 78 speed, but he can launch it. My lone loss came to TCU 23-20.

Re: How's your dynasty going?

2 games into my 2nd season in my offline dynasty with Middle Tennessee State(2-0). first season I finished 7-6 after losing big to Louisville in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Texas was the only undefeated team and beat Florida in the National Championship.

the season started really bad. I was 1-5 at the halfway mark in the season. but reeled off 6 straight wins to finished the regular season 7-5 and finished 2nd in the Sunbelt conference.

2009 shedule
@ Clemson L 14-3 - the game was not as close as the score shows, Spiller had 150+ yards rushing, I could do anything at all on offense.

Memphis L 33-21 - I lead at halftime 14-13, but got out scored in the 2nd half.

@ Maryland(finished ranked #17) L 27-24 - could have won this game, but turnovers killed me.

@North Texas W 25-16 - first win of the season, defense played great, NT threw 3 Ints.

@ Troy L 34-20 - Troy simply outplayed me. I was behind all game and couldn't get more than 7 points in the 2nd half.

Mississippi State L 42-32 - 3 turnovers for me, 0 for MSU. took awhile for my offense to get going and by the time it did, it was too late.

Western Kentucky W 42-3 - Rivalry game that was one sided. WKU didn't have a chance and only had 4 1st downs all game and only 100 yards.

@ FAU W 31-0 - Another great game for me dominated the clock, scored on all but 2 drives.

FIU W 20-17 - won the game on last second FG, very close game even though I had 386 total offense to their 197, 0 turnovers for both teams.

UL Lafayette W 38-17 - closer than the score shows, I had bigger plays that was the difference.

Arkansas State W 34-14 - killed them in this game, it was 24-0 at halftime, pulled most my starters to rest them for the last game.

@ UL Monroe W 30-28 - big come from behind win for me. at one point I was down 28-10. scored the final TD as time expired(8 yard TD pasS)

Bowl Game Louisville L 47-21 - Louisville flat out crushed me. it was 27-7 after 1 quarter. UL had 571 total offense. both HB averaged over 10 YPC.

so far in year 2, I'm 2-0. Beat Ball State 31-23. it was a close game, I got a FG late in the 4th to extend it and then held them until the end of the game.

then I got my revenged on Memphis at their home. Memphis came out swinging taking a 28-3 lead at one point. I scored a TD right before the half to make it 28-10 at halftime. then scored 29 points to their 7 in the 2nd half. defense played great, offense stopped turning over the ball. great comeback.

rest of 2010 schedule
North Texas
Penn State(supposed to be @Penn State, but it glitched out I guess)
Notre Dame
FAU
UL Lafayette
FIU
Arkansas State
UL Monroe
Western Kentucky
Troy

my team is pretty bad, highest rated player is an 84(LG) only 5 people over 80 overall. did managed to snag 2 4* recruits in the off-season, they waited till week 5 to finally sign with me, guess I was their last choice.

one is a HB(76 ovr), he is getting redshirted as there were 4 other players ahead of him. the other was a WR(79 ovr), and is now my #2 WR. I also had a 2* WR(75 ovr) who is now my #3 WR and has been the big weapon in the redzone on my offense. in 2 games he has all 4 receiving TD for the team, has yet to drop a pass too.

Re: How's your dynasty going?

I just played two games. Against Missouri, I won a hard fought game, 15-9. I loved the defense displayed by both teams and it was TOUGH to move the ball. Nebraska only had 199 yards of total offense, with 75 of them coming on a Roy Helu TD run in the fourth quarter. Zac Lee struggled mightily in the first half, only going 4-12 with 28 yards and 3 picks. Enter true Freshman Cody Green, who was able to control the ball better and finished 7-11 with 67 yards and a TD. Green also rushed for 33 yards on 6 carries. True freshman Rex Burkhead had his first taste of hard nosed college football, getting shut down (9 carries, 5 yards). The defense held up though and sacked Blaine Gabbert six times.

The offense rebounded nicely with a 52-6 win over Texas Tech in Lincoln. The Huskers could do little wrong as Zac Lee had his best game of the season, completing 18-22 passes for 220 yards and 3 TD. Freshman Cody Green came in during the third quarter and had his best game of the season as well (10-14, 179 yards, 11 rushes for 80 yards, 2 total TD). Rex Burkhead also showed Texas Tech what they are missing out on by losing the recruiting battle for him with Nebraska, as he rushed 18 times for 122 yards and 2 scores.

Nebraska (6-0, #8) looks to the next week with another home game in Lincoln against Iowa State.

Sadly, I lost out on Tyler Gabbert. He committed to Texas. I still am in the running for all my other recruits though, so it looks like another Gabbert kid backed out on Nebraska. Oh well, I'd say the QB position is in good hands with Cody Green.

Keep the stories coming guys, it's cool to hear about everyone's dynasty.

I've had two online dynasties fail because of the issue with results being simmed after being played. Both times has it cost me the conference title, and in the most recent result it nullified about an hour's worth of time spent on recruiting. I've gone from loving the game to wanting to trade it in less than 24 hours.

Re: How's your dynasty going?

In my WKU dynasty I was 7-5 last year, so far I'm 1-1....I lost to Nebraska by a fairly good margin.

[Curry59]

Re: How's your dynasty going?

The Huskers looked to put their unbeaten record on the line at home against the Oklahoma Sooners, ranked #3 in each poll. The Sooners are not as potent as last year's team statistically speaking, but any time you have Sam Bradford at the helm and various talented weapons at his disposal, a war should be expected.

This game was all of that and more.

After Nebraska's Ndamakong Suh brought pressure on Bradford during the opening drive that resulted in a pick-6 by Mathew May, the Sooners came right back and had a 12-play, 76-yard drive that chewed up nearly three-and-a-half minutes. With the score nodded at 7, Nebraska's Zac Lee was holding his own in the pocket and driving the Huskers for their second score. With the ball inside the 20, Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy sacked Lee for a six-yard loss. Lee suffered a concussion on the play and a pin drop could be heard inside of Memorial Field. Cody Green, the true-freshman quarterback out of Dayton, Texas, would enter the game in front of a full capacity crowd.

Green has played well this season for the Huskers, but has admittedly played in "mop up" duty after Lee and the Huskers had already secured a win. Coach Pelini had no quips about playing Green as a true freshman and even went as far to say that Green could be counted on in big situations due to his maturity level. Well, at this moment, Cody Green would get his chance. With the game tied at 7, and the Huskers driving for another score, Cody Green would find early on whether he would build a legend or be known as the QB who could have delivered a devastating blow to the Sooners and give the Huskers a jacked up reason to believe that their program was right in the thick of it when talking about the elite programs.

Cody Green was up to the challenge.

On his first pass, Green connected with Melenik Holt for an 18-yard TD. Oklahoma would fight back and keep the game close, but at the half, Nebraska was ahead 17-14. Green finished the half 10-13 for 102 yards and a TD, and also rushed for 29 yards on 6 carries.

The second half was where Cody Green answered the question on whether he was just a flashy inexperienced freshman or the Huskers' QB of the future. The question was answered on several occasions, as Green never lost his composure in a 48-34 Nebraska win that was much closer than the final score would indicate.

Green finished the night 16-19 for 211 yards, 2 TDs. He also showed his dual-threat ability with 14 carries for 62 yards and another score. For a guy that was playing in the Texas high school playoffs last year, Cody Green more than held his own against the second ranked team in the nation in front of over 90,000 screaming Nebraska fans.

After losing out on Tyler Gabbert to Texas, Husker nation was infuriated with having to deal with the second Gabbert boy decommitting from a program that is looking to get back to prominence. Cody Green, undoubtedly, told Husker Nation to relax after today.

"What Cody Green showed me today is that he is special," said Coach Bo Pelini. "Zac, it looks now, will be out for a while. The report says three weeks, so we'll see where we're at when he returns, but I'd say we're in good hands with Cody until then. I think everyone is seeing the start of something great with this kid."

Pelini went on to praise his team for a hard fought victory and spoke a bit on the surprising decommitment of Ballwin, Missouri quarterback Tyler Gabbert, the younger brother of Blaine Gabbert, a 2007 recruit who reneged on his verbal to Nebraska.

"It happens," said Pelini. "Recruiting is not for the faint of heart. You win some, you lose some. We fully expected to have Tyler Gabbert with us next season, but it didn't work out that way. I wish him the best."

Pelini did not offer any parting shots at the Gabbert family.

Nebraska will head to Lawrence next week to take on the 5-3 Jayhawks.

[Curry59]

Re: How's your dynasty going?

Nebraska travelled to Kansas this past Saturday to take on the 5-3 Jayhawks. After a hard fought and emotional win over Oklahoma the week before, the Huskers had to be prepared to not fall on their faces against an opportunistic Jayhawk team. With Cody Green starting his first collegiate game, the excitement was everywhere.

The Huskers rolled to a 56-7 win, keeping intact the nation's highest scoring offense and improving to 10-0 in the process.

Green would not disappoint, setting a new Nebraska freshman single-game record with 411 total yards of offense (291 passing, 120 rushing) and scored five touchdowns (3 passing, 2 rushing).

Menelik Holt and Antonio Bell had identical numbers for the game, each catching 5 balls for 105 yards. Holt had 2 TD receptions while Bell had 1.

Niles Paul returned a kickoff 102 yards for a TD.

The Huskers sit at #4 in the nation, behind Florida, Texas, and USC.

In the past six weeks, the Huskers have secured 6 commitments. Curtis Carter (4* ATH), Andrew Rodriguez (4* OT), Victor Burnett (4* MLB), Jonathan McKnight (3* RB), Ciante Evans (3* CB) and Donovan Vestal (3* DE). The Huskers are also in the mix for 5* WR Nate Shaw, 4* WR Isaac Britt, and 4* ATH Bowen Marquez. The Huskers currently have the ninth-best rated recruiting class in the country for 2010.

I am 6-2 w/ Toledo (4-0 in MAC) Looking to crack the top 25 and make a bigger bowl game. Most likely bowl Motor City Bowl!!!

Re: How's your dynasty going?

I'm currently in Year 4 with my Minnesota North Stars. I took over the Minnesota Gophers roster, just gave them a new look which I think is much better than theirs!

Year 1: 7-6
Year 2: 8-5
Year 3: 10-3
Year 4: 6-1

I have a legit shot at winning the Big Ten this year with quite a bit of talent on defense. I gave up like 79 points in my first two games this year, going 1-1, but since then I haven't given up more than 14 in a game. My defense was the strong point as well, so the first two games shocked me. When I won 51-48 against Bowling Green in game #2 I was scratching my head.

I always control my MLB, and this year it's Junior Will Jordan. I'm having an awesome season with him so far, basically stuffing the stat sheet.

7 games: 48 tackles (low for him...), 3 sacks, 3 INT, 5 forced fumbles *leads Big Ten in forced fumbles*

I love the game, love my team, and love my dynasty.

Re: How's your dynasty going?

I'm in Season 2 with my Vols. Went 12-1 in the first season, losing to the Gators. But won the rematch with them in the BCS championship game. Berry got the Thorpe and Hardesty the Walker.

Convinced Berry to return for his senior season. I'm 4-0 so far and ranked #1. Survived the Gators (16-15) and LSU (14-10) to stay undefeated.
