Alright guys, I'm back with my Fresno State dynasty. I stopped my original thread due to some issues with in-game stats. I was also super bummed when the capture device I purchased didn't work like I wanted it to. I've been contemplating on restarting this dynasty for the better part of a month. Now that I'm sitting here watching the Alabama/LSU game, I figured its time to get things started.
A little history about myself. I was an old MMer from back in the day under the same username. I did a couple of dynasty reports, but never quite fully finished them the way I envisioned. After the site went down, I jumped to Utopia, VSN, and DSS for awhile. I couldn't afford a PS3 for the longest time so I cooled off on the dynasty reporting. I think at around the time NCAA 14 came out is when I was able to get a hold of a PS3. I mainly played offline dynasty just to pass the time.
Fast forward to July of this year, I found myself wanting to do a dynasty report again. I've been contemplating about it ever since and eventually hunkered down, came back to OS forum, and said I'm going to get this done.
The school I'll be rolling with is Fresno State. I picked Fresno State because it's my Alma mater and I feel like if I pick a team I really root for then I'll be more inclined to continue progressing through the season. I actually shy away from playing Fresno State in any of my other dynasties because I didn't want to cheese up the team, so this is actually new for me.
The goal as with many of the other dynasty reports is to have something we could look back on a few years down the road and remember the players and games that were played. We'll see how it goes. I hope you all enjoy!

LET'S MAKE IT FOUR STRAIGHT.. Last year's rocky (6-8) campaign took the Bulldogs to their third straight Mountain West championship game appearance. There is growing optimism that this year's team could very well end up there once again. If they plan on making a fourth straight appearance, they'll have to rely heavily on a run game led by senior Marteze Waller. Waller will be the primary offensive weapon for a squad that lost their only returning receiver, Aaron Peck to a foot injury in fall camp. 
A TRUE FRESHMAN.. Along with a group of young receiving corps is a new signal caller in quarterback Chason Virgil. Virgil and sophomore Zack Greenlee had a fierce competition for the starting job. In the end, Virgil's playmaking ability and 'X' factor won the coaches over. The Texas native graduated from West Mesquite High School in December and enrolled at Fresno State in the spring semester. Big things are expected of Virgil as his skill set compliments this spread offense attack.
ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.. The motto left by former Fresno State coach Pat Hill. The Bulldogs have been true to form in scheduling any team in the country. This year they travel to Oxford for a match up against a high octane Ole Miss team. They last met in 2011, when Ole Miss handed Fresno State their second straight loss in a home and home series (2010/2011). Let's hope third time is the charm to pull off the upset. 
THE BOY-Z ARE BACK IN TOWN.. The last two Mountain West conference champions (FS 2012, 2013, BSU 2014) meet again in Fresno on September 21. This is always a game to mark on the schedule. The BOY-Z have always been a thorn in the Bulldogs side. Expect both teams to come out and leave it all on the field.
BACK TO BACK.. In this video game world, the playoffs never existed. Nonetheless, the Ohio State Buckeyes are the defending National Champions. The coaches seem to agree that they are the #1 team in the nation with 41 of the coaches vote. Let's see if they can start and finish at the #1 spot. TCU and Alabama round out the top three schools.
PLAYER OF THE GAME.. Utah quarterback Kendal Thompson didn't start the game for the Utes, but ended with player of the game honors. Thompson took over when starter Tyler Wilson went out midway through the first quarter. He made most of his opportunity as he exploded for an impressive stat line, 23-30, 292 Yards, 18 Carries, 69 Yards, 3 Total Touchdowns.
