Re: The Rise of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans (NCAA Football 07)

A Randle El sighting! Holy smokes does Wisconsin have some talent. Good luck just trying to keep it close, let's just hope you can keep it within 50, haha.

Wonder if he's related to Antwaan? I'm hoping I can keep it within that mark, but you're right Wisconsin has a ton of talent. And it's the first time playing 08 compared to 07, so there might be an adjustment period there. I think I can handle their QB since he's new and doesn't have a great rating, but the run game is going to give me trouble.

Never understood why Hill wasn't able to make it in the NFL. 3-1000+ yd season, and double digit TD's for the Badgers.

The Badgers look loaded. It's going to be a tough 1st game for you but excited to see how the season plays out

If I remember correctly, Hill was rated high in 07 but suffered long injuries in both of the seasons played on that game. Unfortunately I get him in the first week here, but I wanted a tough opener to FBS competition and I certainly got it!

It’s because the line at Wisconsin is usually so good, they sometimes inflate the RB.

I do agree with this for the most part, I remember arguing in the past about this exact point with regards to Montee Ball. I did think Melvin Gordon was legit while in college, and think Jonathan Taylor will be pretty good but there was definitely that stigma of Badger backs being products of their insane offensive lines.

Re: The Rise of the Carnegie Mellon Tartans (NCAA Football 07)

Hill be rated high in 07 would make since because I am pretty sure he was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 06, his best season stats wise in his 3 year career.

And you guy's are correct. They do a great job of recruiting O-Lineman so that typically helps when you can avg over 5.0 yds per carrry.

Season 3, Game 1: Carnegie Mellon at #18 Wisconsin

#18 Wisconsin Welcomes CMU to FBS with 43-10 Thrashing
The Tartans had no answer for Wisconsin tailback P.J. Hill, who ran for 187 yards and three touchdowns

MADISON, Wisc. -- Facing a daunting task in its NCAA Division I FBS debut, Carnegie Mellon struggled on both sides of the ball and fell to #18 Wisconsin, 43-10, this afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium.

Carnegie Mellon (0-1) only managed three points offensively and tacked on a fourth-quarter defensive touchdown against the Wisconsin (1-0) reserves. The Tartans failed to crack 100 yards passing, averaged 2.9 yards per carry, and lost three fumbles in what was a long afternoon.

“The environment and the moment definitely had an impact on us,” said third-year head coach John Elliott. “Wisconsin just wore us down on both sides of the ball and as soon as they saw a sign of weakness, they pounced. I knew it would be a tough task to compete with the number eight team in the nation last season with All-Americans all through their roster, but we never really gave ourselves an opportunity to make it interesting.”

CMU managed to hold the Badgers to a field goal on the opening drive, but the hosts quickly reclaimed possession after Jim Manning put the ball on the ground on his second carry. P.J. Hill punched it in from four yards out shortly after to make it 10-0, then Allan Evridge fit a pass in between three defenders to Travis Beckum for a 24-yard touchdown at the end of the quarter.

The Tartans picked up a little bit of momentum on Wisconsin’s next drive, as freshman Todd Andriano jumped a crossing route and came away with his first interception. While the ensuing drive didn’t come away with points, CMU’s defense held strong from there and ultimately added a 23-yard field goal from Jon Foster as time expired to make it 17-3 at halftime.

The floodgates began to open in the third quarter, starting with Justin Keyes being knocked out of the game with a sprained elbow. Later on that drive Manning was stuffed on fourth down, and shortly after Hill broke off a 46-yard dash to make it 23-3. Manning then fumbled the ensuing kick return back to the Badgers, who added another Evirdge touchdown pass to push the gap to 30-3.

CMU’s other freshman safety, Elvis Washington, was able to snag an errant Evridge pass in the fourth quarter for his first career interception. With 5:01 to go and facing a 37-3 deficit, Mark Toth forced a fumble from Noah Stoltz and it was picked up by Aaron Crosby, who ran it back for a 39-yard touchdown.

Manning rushed for 92 yards on 28 carries and lost three fumbles, while Keyes and Alex Smith combined for 96 yards on 8-of-19 passing. The Tartans managed to block a pair of extra points.

Hill rushed for 187 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries for the Badgers.

Carnegie Mellon heads home for its first FBS game at Gesling Stadium next Saturday when it hosts Tulane.

We've got visuals! Love seeing the screenshot. What classics those NCAA games were. Tough game as expected, but did about as well as you could have hoped. Holy smokes do the miss the days of NCAA games where it was actually possible to block a kick! It was almost too easy sometimes in a few of those years haha. Also, side note on Randle El, I did know he is Antwaan's brother yeah, but on a not so savory note apparently he was just charged with double homicide a couple of months ago.

And no one suffered a serious injury too! Would have been brutal if I lost someone like Manning for multiple weeks in a game that we weren't going to ever win.

Haha thanks! I actually purchased a cheap game capture card and figured out how to set it up and all, but the permissions on my laptop won't allow me to use it - so I'll work on figuring that out. But I figured a "step-up" in coverage with the move to FBS was worth it!

As for blocking kicks, that was all CPU and will probably become a theme this season. My best linebacker and third corner line up on the same side in FG block, and one of them seems to break through half the time because of their speed. Add the (somewhat annoying) slow, close-up visual when a player is making a big play, and you come away with a pair of blocked extra points.

That Marcus Randle El news is crazy, definitely did not know that happened before I played this game.

Keyes healthy and ready for Tulane

Sophomore quarterback Justin Keyes has recovered from the sprained elbow he suffered last Saturday at Wisconsin and will start this weekend against Tulane.

“It was hard to throw after that tackle,” said Keyes after Wednesday’s practice. “I probably could have went back in but Coach (Elliott) didn’t want to risk injuring it any further.”

Keyes was knocked out of the game in the third quarter after throwing for 65 yards on 5-of-12 passing. Junior backup Alex Smith finished the game, completing 3-of-7 passes for 31 yards.

Elliott to miss Tulane game by suspension

Senior defensive tackle Devon Elliott will be suspended for Carnegie Mellon’s home opener this weekend after violating team rules.

“Devon (Elliott) knows better as a senior and a captain,” said head coach John Elliott after Wednesday’s practice. “We’ll miss him this weekend and will look forward to having him back on the field against Pitt.”

Elliott recorded three tackles at Wisconsin. Redshirt junior Terrance Knox will replace him in the starting lineup.

McMillan, Cooley keep Carnegie Mellon in top five

Carnegie Mellon received some good news on the recruiting front, as it made the top fives for three-star prospects Tyrone McMillan (West New York, N.J.) and Marcus Cooley (Hanover Park, Ill.).

McMillan, a six-foot-four, 185-pound quarterback from Memorial High School, has Penn State as the overwhelming favorite thus far, followed by the Tartans, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and Ohio State. He is one of four signal-callers Elliott has a scholarship offer out to in the in-season recruiting period.

Cooley, a six-foot-two, 175-pound tailback from Hanover Park High School, lists CMU as a slight favorite, with Tennessee, Iowa, Louisville, and Ohio State trailing. With sophomore Jim Manning and freshman Nate Satele currently on the depth chart, Cooley is the lone runningback target of the in-season period.

Van drops Carnegie Mellon from consideration

Three-star guard Brett Van (New Castle, Pa.) has left Carnegie Mellon off of his top five, he announced on his personal MySpace page on Wednesday night.

Van, a six-foot-four, 291-pound prospect from New Castle High School, was one of two targets from the Keystone State. Ohio State is listed as the favorite for his services, followed by Penn State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and Tennessee.

Tulane Green Wave (0-1) at Carnegie Mellon Tartans (0-1)
Saturday, September 16, 2008 | 3:30 PM (ET)
Pittsburgh, Pa. – Gesling Stadium | Not televised

Team Overview (C- overall, C offense, C- defense)
One of the lower prestige programs on the national scale, Tulane opened the season at home against #13 Texas A&M and was blown out, 42-7.

Redshirt senior quarterback Scott Elliott leads the Green Wave offensive attack, having begun his final season of competition with 134 yards, a touchdown, and an interception on 15-of-31 passing. Fourth-year junior wide receiver Jeremy Williams is the team’s most talented player, but only managed a single catch against the Aggies. Senior receiver Brian King lines up opposite of Williams and had nine yards on three receptions, but fifth-year senior Michael Batiste compiled 106 yards and a score on five catches in a breakout performance. While the passing game is the focus for Tulane, redshirt sophomore Andre Anderson is the team’s top tailback and accumulated 38 yards on nine carries in the opener.

The defense is a work in progress, with senior linebacker James Dillard being its top player. Dillard recorded four tackles against the Aggies, and the other outside linebacker Curtis McGinity, a sophomore, netted a team-high nine tackles. True freshman Lee Gary starts at free safety and collected five tackles last Saturday.

Junior kicker Ross Thevenot made 55 percent of his field goals last season, and is 0-for-1 in the early stages of 2008. Freshman punter Carl Larsen punted eight times for 356 yards against Texas A&M. Williams and King serve as the primary returners, with King netting 71 yards on three kick returns in the season curtain-raiser.

Season 3, Game 2: Tulane at Carnegie Mellon

FBS Problems Continue in Home Opener Loss to Tulane
The Tartans could only muster a fourth-quarter touchdown as they dropped to 0-2 in FBS play

by Alicia Brown, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Like its leap to NCAA Division I FCS competition in 2006, Carnegie Mellon is facing difficulties in its newest step-up in level.

In front of a sold-out Gesling Stadium, the Tartans disappointed against a poor Tulane team, falling 34-7 this afternoon in non-conference action. The hosts struggled through the air, tossing three interceptions on the offensive side while allowing three passing touchdowns on the defensive end.

“We couldn’t slow down their offense,” said third-year head coach John Elliott. “They didn’t break off a ton of big plays, but their chunk gains of six or seven yards just continued to add up – and it kept our offense off the field. Our defense needs to stiffen up and make stops on these third-and-short plays to get our offense more opportunities, and I think with more chances then we’ll find more success on that end.”

Carnegie Mellon (0-2) saw sophomore tailback Jim Manning rush for 144 yards and fourth-quarter touchdown on 22 carries, but its two quarterbacks – sophomore Justin Keyes and junior Alex Smith – combined for 157 yards on 12-27 passing. Keyes left the game early for the second straight week, spraining his finger in the third quarter.

Tulane (1-1) rebounded from a blowout opening-week loss to nationally-ranked Texas A&M behind its passing attack. Scott Elliott threw for 162 yards and three touchdowns on 17-of-27 passing, and runningback duo Andre Anderson and Frank Mann combined for 139 yards and two scores on 24 carries.

The Tartans did have a few breakthrough moments in their second FBS game, even if they were brief. Sophomore linebacker Matt Johnson brought Elliott down for a sack on a fourth-down attempt, and freshmen Mark Toth and Chris Hill also got to the Green Wave signal-caller. Wide receivers Pete Carlson and Kevin Cousins combined to record nine catches for 145 yards despite the difficulties throwing the ball.

In addition to Keyes’ injury, sophomore guard Matt Fitch came off the field in the second quarter and didn’t return. The extent of the injury was unknown at press time.

After stumbling in its first two FBS tests, Carnegie Mellon stays in the city for a third edition of its renewed rivalry with Pitt on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Haha I appreciate that, glad you're enjoying it as much as I enjoy reporting it! As for the logo, surprisingly that was one of the generic logos that the game provided! I originally planned on using a C logo for the game and keep the helmets blank, but thankfully I stumbled across this and it matches up really well with the CMU logo.

That logo being in the game is one of the reasons why I couldn't part with this school after mistakenly deleting the NCAA 07 dynasty. I loved the unis I came up with - them being a blend of what they wear now with my own spin - and having those to run with throughout this build. As I was debating on what to do, I actually created a new NCAA 08 dynasty with Michigan Tech as the focus - same sort of long, grueling build, but completely in FBS competition - but I couldn't connect with the squad, and that partly stemmed because of the logo/uni combo.

So basically, to end a long-winded answer, I searched for a way to continue this on NCAA 08 because of this logo the game already had. Pretty clutch by the old developers at EA.
