Wyoming Dynasty Year 6



In the BIG12 Championship game, #1 Wyoming defeated #3 Texas 42-21 in one of the most unbelievable games of the season. There weren't any records broken, but it seemed like every drive something amazing happened for the Cowboys. In fact, the top 3 catches of the season, maybe even my entire dynasty, all happened in this 1 game.
QB #88 Frank Powell (Pictured) won player of the game with 6 total touchdowns, which certainly helped his chances of winning the Heisman Trophy. He threw 4 touchdown passes and rushed for 2. WR #10 Leon Robbins (Pictured) caught 2 TDs, WR #82 Mario Bradley (Pictured) caught 6 passes for 134 yards receiving and 1 TD. HB #37 Andy Bell had a solid game with 88 rushing yards.
Texas's QB Jamal Shelby had a great game with 300+ yards passing and 3 TDs, but the 3 interceptions he threw really hurt the Longhorns. WR Anthony Scruggs caught 4 passes for 174 yards and 2 TDs, and was really the only one who made any big plays for Texas.
I decided to break down each of the spectacular catches.. enjoy!
First.. there was the greatest interception I have ever seen.. by SS #35 Joe Jacobs. Those of you who have been following my dynasty may have gotten familiar with this guy by now, he is often featured in my pictures. This was his greatest play of the season..

The QB for Texas threw up a deep ball to the wide receiver running a streak but it was horribly overthrown. I was about to set my controller down to get a drink from my soda while I watch the in-between play cut-scenes when suddenly I witnessed the greatest interception of my entire dynasty. He actually fell into the wide receiver and rolled onto the ground after he caught it, which was pretty cool.
The next amazing catch was by WR #10 Leon Robbins. It was 3rd and goal at the 5 yard line.. I saw Robbin's lined up on the right against Texas's impact player cornerback. Having faith in my star receiver, I hot routed to a fade and hoped Robbin's could use his 6'4 200lb frame to win the jump ball. I wasn't disappointed.

Robbin's made a near superhuman leap and somehow came down with the pass. I was in shock, I had never seen a player jump so high. I think he actually got elevated a little by the cornerback's shoulder pushing him higher into the air.
The next one was by WR #81 Terrence Wright, who is used to making spectacular catches. This one was probably his best yet.

The pass was behind him but Wright managed to contort his body and reach back to catch the ball with 1 hand. It reminded me of Calvin Johnson's famous catch.
After the victory, #1 Wyoming (12-0) has punched a ticket to the BCS National Championship Game for the 2nd season in a row. But who would they be playing?
#2 North Carolina fell to #24 Clemson in overtime of the ACC championship game. #4 Michigan lost to #9 Wisconson in the BIG10 championship game. #15 San Diego State defeated #7 Utah State in the MWC championship game. #6 LSU defeated South Carolina in the SEC championship game.
In the end, it was the #5 (9-3) Florida Gators who moved up to the #2 spot and will be facing the heavily favored #1 (13-0) Wyoming Cowboys in the BCS National Championship. These 2 teams are somewhat familiar with each other, having faced twice throughout the dynasty, splitting the games 1 a piece. In year 2 Florida beat Wyoming in the Sugar Bowl, but Wyoming got their revenge the next season.
As for the Heisman Race..

Frank 'Boom Boom' Powell has won the Heisman Trophy!
What a close finish it was.. as he barely edged out San Diego State's QB. As I predicted, Notre Dame's QB was hurt by the lack of a conference championship game to play in.
The stage is set!

Stay tuned folks!
