    Keyes talks like a leader and even better than that he plays like a leader. Will we see a championship this year?

      Don't know that there is any player more deserving of a longform article than Keyes; the development that he has shown over the last 4 seasons has been nothing short of incredible. I know I was always a bit higher on him than Deuce was, so it's funny to see how Deuce has lived rent-free in his head ( ) but provided him the boost he needed to get his game to the next level. It's definitely key that bringing in the new OC a few years ago and playing more to his strengths was a gigantic move to help progress him to the next level of play. Fantastic writing as per usual, and hoping that the story doesn't pop the Keyes bubble and he can send out his college career on a high note with a conference title!

          Maybe instead of keeping mean comments in a notebook he should watch video of his crappy play on the field back then to remind him to keep putting in the work to get better.
          Perfect rebuttal! I wanted to give a nod to Keyes' critics in this piece, because even though I was an apologist for those first couple of seasons, not even I could have expected him to make this kind of turnaround. I do think if I wasn't so set in running a pro style those first two years, then he would have had a little more success, but he also progressed a lot over his four years.

          That's the hope! He's been immense to how explosive this offense is, and the defense is full of playmakers on the defensive line, linebackers, and secondary. Anything less than a MAC championship should be looked upon as a disappointment, especially with how weak the conference is this year.

          Appreciate the writing kudos, as always! Definitely wanted to do something on Keyes because of his turnaround, and figured I could use some of the criticism against him into his story. Nottingham's arrival is definitely a bigger part in his turnaround than just his overall play, though his overall rating has progressed to the point where he probably wouldn't have been too bad in a pro-style look. As I mentioned before, I don't remember many players I've had in my NCAA-playing career that started a career off so terribly and made this kind of turnaround, so hopefully it continues with a MAC title in a couple of weeks!

            No current contract extension talks for Elliott, yet
            CMU head coach John Elliott revealed to the media during Wednesday’s media availability that he and athletic director Daniel Corrigan have not yet had discussions about extending his contract.

            “It’s not something I’m worried about or focused on right now,” said Elliott. “I’m just looking forward to Miami (Ohio) this weekend and getting another win.”

            Elliott is in his final year of his contract and has a record of 22-37 in five seasons as the Tartans head coach. He previously served as the defensive coordinator at Gannon University before taking the job at CMU when it announced the move from NCAA Division III to I competition.

            Tartans to honor 14 seniors on Saturday
            This Saturday’s game against Miami (Ohio) will serve as the final home game in 14 seniors’ collegiate careers, as it marks the first recruiting class in CMU’s Division I era.

            Prior to the game, the Tartans will recognize quarterback Justin Keyes (145.6 QB rtg., 141-234, 1,885 yards, 18 TD, 9 INT; 125 carries, 527 yards, 7 TD), runningback Clarence Cabral (3 carries, 6 yards, 1 TD), fullback Korey Harper (1 carry, 3 yards), tight end Scott Sanders (no stats), offensive tackles Phil Patrick and Kris White, guards Matt Fitch and Eric Fraser, center Jared Yates, defensive end Andrew Miller (3 tackles, 1 FF), linebackers Aaron Crosby (37 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 3 FF, 1FR), Bryan Seward (1 tackle), and Justin White (3 tackles), and cornerback Hayden Temple (27 tackles, 3 INT, 1 FR). Temple shares the school record for career interceptions with former classmate Calvin Burton with 17.

            Cabral, Harper, Sanders, K. White, Yates, Seward, and J. White all joined the program as walk-ons.

            Four recruits to make official visits to CMU this weekend
            Carnegie Mellon will have four targets on campus for official visits this Saturday against Miami (Ohio) in runningback Jeff Gilmore (Winnipeg, Manitoba), tight end Morgan Cook (Takoma Park, Md.), offensive tackle Charlie Williams (Barberton, Ohio), and guard Kevin Doucette (Elizabethtown, Pa.).

            Gilmore, a five-foot-eight, 200-pound tailback from Portage Collegiate, lists the Tartans as a big favorite with Wisconsin and Michigan trailing. He reportedly runs a 4.51 40-yard dash and has a 35.1-inch vertical, and could be a multi-purpose back for CMU with his catching ability.

            Cook, a six-foot-five, 255-pound tight end from Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School, has the Tartans third behind Virginia Tech and Virginia. He is a receiving threat at the position with soft hands, and reportedly has been clocked at 4.84 in the 40-yard dash with a 33.6-inch vertical.

            Williams, a six-foot-six, 290-pound lineman from Barberton High School, puts CMU between Notre Dame and Ohio State. He could see playing time with one season of seasoning, and reportedly has a 455-pound bench and 655-pound squat max.

            Doucette, a six-foot-three, 282-pound lineman from Elizabethtown High School, has the Tartans second behind Pitt and ahead of Penn. He is looking for immediate playing time, which CMU can provide with the graduation of Eric Fraser and Matt Fitch after this season.

            Tom Cook moves CMU to first, will visit Penn on Saturday
            Three-star linebacker Tom Cook (Pittsburgh, Pa.) has moved the Tartans to first on his list and is a soft verbal commitment as he plans to make an official visit to Penn over the weekend.

            Cook, a six-foot-four, 213-pound linebacker from Woodland Hills High School, made his official visit to CMU when it played Army two weeks ago. He originally kept the Tartans second before warming up more to the program over the last week, and could lock in his commitment in a few days.

            Williamson drops CMU from top five
            Three-star defensive end James Williamson (Edmonton, Alberta) will not be considering Carnegie Mellon going forward, he announced earlier this week.

            Williamson, a six-foot-one, 252-pound pass rusher from W.R. Myers High School, is moving forward with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pittsburgh as his top three. He reportedly runs a 4.80 40-yard dash and has a 32.7-inch vertical, while also maxing out at 360 pounds on bench and 520 pounds on squat.

              This a really cool dynasty, glad I found it. What's it like playing with that momentum meter again? I remember that thing annoying me to death.

                Important visits will happen, I admit the recruit I'm most interested in is Cook, looking forward to seeing if the Tartans can get their hands on him.

                    Thanks for checking in, I appreciate it! The momentum meter honestly annoys me as well, because it really feels overpowered most of the time. It mostly just brings forth an unrealistic amount of turnovers, because I've had plenty of games where there's 10-12 turnovers between the two teams and we still can put up 40-50 points each. I like the idea of the meter and maybe they can implement it into the new game when it comes, but its execution does more harm than good, IMO.

                    Absolutely a huge weekend for recruiting. All four are important to get, Morgan Cook in particular would be nice because the TE position is bare behind David Young - though I don't feature them in my offense too much. I think out of the quartet, Doucette might be the most important to sign since I lose both of my starting guards after this season and don't have much talent backing them up.

                    Appreciate it, RaiderAid! Things have slowed down a tad because work has been crazy for me, but I'm trying to post at least one game every week or every other week. Should be able to do so this week with no problem, and might be able to get the preview up later this afternoon.

                      Miami (Ohio) Redhawks (5-4, 4-1 MAC) at Carnegie Mellon Tartans (6-3, 5-0 MAC)
                      Saturday, November 6, 2010 | 3:30 PM (ET)
                      Pittsburgh, Pa. – Gesling Stadium | No television

                      Team Overview (C overall, C offense, C defense)
                      Miami (Ohio) has emerged as a contender in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) East division, sitting at 4-1 with its only defeat coming to Akron. The Redhawks own an impressive season-opening 45-28 win over Northwestern, and defeated Central Michigan (31-7), Northern Illinois (40-10), Eastern Michigan (34-20), and Kent State (31-10) in conference action. However, Miami also was blown out by the Zips, 45-14, after being down 31-7 at halftime, and gave Cincinnati its only win of the season in a 31-3 shellacking.

                      The Redhawks’ offense is led by a couple of first-year starters in Clay Benton (125.1 QB rtg., 171-295, 1,993 yards, 19 TD, 16 INT) and Thomas Merriweather (122 carries, 821 yards, 4 TD; 11 catches, 154 yards, 1 TD). Benton, a redshirt junior, has a talented an experienced receiving corps to throw to, led by four-year starter Armand Robinson (59 catches, 551 yards, 8 TD). Robinson has tallied 2,318 yards and 26 touchdowns on 233 career receptions, and he’s flanked opposite of fellow redshirt senior Donovan Potter (54 catches, 637 yards, 6 TD). In the slot are senior Rob Reiland (34 catches, 398 yards, 2 TD) and redshirt junior Chris Givens (16 catches, 248 yards, 2 TD).

                      Fifth-year senior Caleb Bostic (60 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 2 FF, 1 TD) leads the defense as a four-year starter who has accumulated 195 tackles, six sacks, and four interceptions over his career. Beside him in the linebacker group is sophomore Edward Palmer (39 tackles, 1 FR), who despite being five-foot-nine, is a playmaker that had 71 tackles, three sacks, and an interception as a freshman. The pass rush is led by redshirt senior Jordan Stevens (40 tackles, 3 sacks) and fourth-year junior Matt Kajmowicz (33 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR, 1 TD) on the edges, and fifth-year Alex Stewart (23 tackles, 3 sacks) in the middle. Three Redhawks have run back interceptions for touchdowns in the secondary, including true freshman Craig Mitchell (18 tackles, 2 INT, 1 FR, 1 TD), who has been solid as a rookie.

                      True freshman Doug Peterson (1-3 FG, 8-9 XP) won the kicking job from classmate Calvin Russell (7-12 FG, 20-21 XP) in fall camp, but Russell has taken it back after the former’s early struggles. Sophomore punter Johnny Duncan (37 punts, 1,624 yards, 43.9 avg., 11 inside 20) has been one of the MAC’s best in 2010, while Robinson (27 kick returns, 638 yards; 16 punt returns, 129 yards) has scored before on a kickoff return in his career.

                        Holy crap, I forgot all about that. I would love to see it remastered for the new EA game but yeah it's got some problems.

                          Hopefully, it's just some focus on the season at hand that has kept Elliott from the extension he deserves, as he has architected this rise! I know he is on the more senior side of the coaching tree, though, so it would be interesting to see if Nottingham potentially becomes the guy to take the reigns in the future, maybe CMU is trying to keep him on board, especially with how he has turned the offense around I'm sure some big boys are starting to eye him up!

                          Funny thing with senior night, other than Keyes, Crosby, and Temple there was a lot of me looking at that list and going, "Who?", haha. A couple of solid receivers for the Redhawks might make this game a bit more high scoring than what you have seen lately, but their QB seems to be a bit turnover happy which should play right into your defense's strengths. Looking forward to you inching closer to sealing the division crown, expecting big fireworks for Keyes in his sendoff at Gesling Stadium!

                            Hahaha I know there were a few guys that got added to the roster when I had to change games, so guys like Cabral, Sanders, and Justin White weren't on the NCAA 07 file. But you're right, the class itself is really made up of three players - though that's not surprising considering I only signed 10 that year! Miami should provide a solid challenge, but as you said their QB is pretty turnover happy and that should play into the hands of my defense. As for the Elliott extension news (or lack thereof), I'm pretty sure I have an idea on what direction I want to go on that front, so everything should make more sense at the end of the season!

                              by Alicia Brown, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reporter

                              PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Carnegie Mellon continued its march towards the Mid-American Conference (MAC) East Division title this afternoon, as the Tartans outscored Miami (Ohio), 28-3, over a span of nearly 20 minutes to defeat the Redhawks, 56-37, this afternoon on Senior Day from Gesling Stadium.

                              Five of Carnegie Mellon’s (7-3, 6-0 MAC) eight touchdowns were 30 yards or longer, with three of them covering over half of the field. The Tartans started slow offensively with a three-and-out and Stephen Carter fumble, but Mark Toth’s 95-yard pick six midway through the first quarter squashed Miami’s (5-5, 4-2 MAC) early upset hopes. The Redhawks would answer CMU’s 21-0 start with 21 unanswered points of their own, only to see Eddie Williams swing the pendulum back in the hosts’ favor with a 55-yard run to make it 28-21 with 5:20 left in the half.

                              “Really loved the effort of the guys today,” said CMU head coach John Elliott. “We didn’t get off to the best start, and knew that Miami would come out with a purpose since they’re still in the hunt for the division. Our veterans and youth both stepped up today and really made some big momentum-shifting plays. I know that the younger guys really wanted to send this senior class out with a win, but I also know the senior class themselves were more motivated heading into this one.”

                              Following Toth’s 95-yard interception return, the Tartans forced a three-and-out and gave the keys to their quarterback Justin Keyes, who broke off a pair of long runs on the ensuing drive, including a 39-yard scamper to make it 14-0. Toth and Matt Burnsides then halted a promising Miami drive with back-to-back sacks, and Kelvin Butler sprung a 76-yard punt return touchdown – his second in as many weeks – to push the gap to 21-0 in the early stages of the second quarter.

                              The Redhawks had an answer shortly after Clay Benton connected with Armand Robinson on a 66-yard bomb to make it 21-7, then following a Nate Satele fumble, Donovan Potter took a backwards pass 45 yards to the house to make it a one-score game. A Keyes interception allowed Miami to keep the train rolling, and the visitors took advantage with a Benton 17-yard pass to Rob Reiland, tying the game at 21-21 with 9:03 left in the half.

                              Following a CMU three-and-out, Hayden Temple stopped the bleeding defensively by snagging an errant deep pass, giving him a program-record 18th career interception. Williams scored on the aforementioned jet sweep shortly after to put the Tartans back in front, and Temple snagged his second pick in as many possessions. While that didn’t lead to points, the hosts knocked Benton out of the game on their next drive and possession soon went back to CMU. It seemed as if the halftime tally would be 28-21, but Korey Harper dove on a fumble forced by Carter on the punt team with 36 seconds left, and Keyes found Issac Schroeder and Travis Sledge for completions – the latter being a 5-yard one in the corner of the end zone.

                              The special teams unit continued its big day as Bobby Magnum forced a fumble on the second-half kickoff and Schroeder recovered, leading to a Keyes 16-yard touchdown pass to Williams. Temple intercepted his third pass of the afternoon later in the fourth quarter, and Keyes put the game to bed at the start of the fourth quarter with a 32-yard touchdown scramble. While Miami managed to score twice against CMU’s second defensive unit, a late timeout by the Redhawks gave the Tartans the final score as Lawrence McIntire found paydirt in the closing seconds.

                              “We were just trying to run the clock out that entire fourth quarter pretty much,” said Elliott. “Not sure why they wanted to extend the game, but I figured if they thought they could come back from 12 points down with 30 seconds to go, we might as well put the game away.”

                              Keyes celebrated his Senior Day in style, compiling 341 yards of total offense (161 pass, 180 rush) and four touchdowns (2 pass, 2 rush). His classmate Temple topped Calvin Burton’s school record for interceptions with three and added five tackles, while Toth collected seven tackles, his aforementioned pick six, and a trio of the team’s nine sacks.

                              Carnegie Mellon will be off this coming week before finishing the regular season with a pair of road contests, starting with a Saturday, November 20 matchup at Kent State.

                                Big win in the offensive showdown. Lots of big plays in that one, glad to see CMU making a few more though!
