What do you know about Mazo? (NCAA 14 Teambuilder Dynasty)

[uw1618]

Hello!

Thanks for checking out the dynasty and I’m here to begin the quest for football relevancy in the FBS with a team from Mazomanie, Wisconsin.

The Mustangs have made the leap from FCS to FBS after receiving an invite to the MAC conference due to consistent top level play in the FCS that included five postseason appearances, three conference titles in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, and one national title victory over Montana in 2011, 30-17.



“This is the best day of my life.” - HC Hyde following Mazo’s first title victory



Despite their national title in 2011, the team hit a bump in the road the following season falling to a surprising 3-9 record, thus causing concern for what their future could be in the FBS with their promotion taking place starting with the 2013 season under head coach Graham Hyde…


...Or so they thought it would be with their longtime HC.

One week after their 2012 season came to an end, it became breaking news that Mazomanie was on the search for a new top dog. Someone who knew what the program’s vision was. Someone who knew what Mazomanie was capable of. Someone who hasn’t had a chance at being a head coach yet. Something fresh. The team looked high and low for a new coach, considering any coach from their local high-school football team all the way to has-been collegiate coaches. And after four weeks of interviewing plenty of candidates, there was a decision made:

They wanted current LB coach and assistant DC Troy Kahl Sr to man the team.

Helping coach a top 15 overall defense in 5 of the past 9 seasons, plus a winner of the Buck Buchanan Award (which is awarded to DPOY in FCS), Coach Kahl knows what it takes for a defense to succeed. Some may say that an in-house hire isn’t what is needed for Mazo to get the ball going again, but AD Dan Andersen was adamant that Kahl will get the ball going for Mazomanie. Kahl has signed for a reportedly 5yr/$170k contract, not including potential incentives.



“We’re looking forward to what Coach Kahl can bring to this team and how we can grow as a school. I have no doubt in this hire. At all.” - AD Dan Andrews speaking at a press conference introducing their new head coach.



Well, since we have learned a brief backstory for the Mustangs and who is leading their team for the time being, let’s get to know who makes up the team with the week one depth chart:

With the information provided, we're about ready to kick off our opening game! Let's see what the schedule is for the first FBS season in Mustang history!

Mazomanie Mustangs 2013 Schedule
DATE	OPPONENT	RESULT
Sep 1	vs Bye Week
Sep 7	at #6 LSU
Sep 12	at Wisconsin
Sep 21	vs Western Michigan
Sep 28	vs Nebraska State
Oct 5	at Fresno State
Oct 12	vs Miami (OH) (Homecoming)
Oct 19	at Buffalo
Oct 26	at Central Michigan
Nov 2	at Bowling Green
Nov 9	vs Northern Illinois
Nov 16	vs Bye Week
Nov 23	vs Akron (Senior Day)
Nov 30	at Ohio
Dec 7	vs Conference Championship Week

The season kicks off in what is expected to be an experience for the players and that's about it. I don't believe the Mustangs are expecting to put up a fight in Death Valley, as the gameday atmosphere down there is one that any player can get rattled by, let alone a brand new FBS school. LSU opens the season ranked #6 in the nation and currently are the only ranked opponent on Mazomanie's schedule.

The following week we get to see the inaugural battle for the Cheese Curd Trophy versus Wisconsin at 'Barry Alvarez Field' at Camp Randall Stadium. Mazomanie is only half an hour away from UW-Madison so I think it's safe to say you'll hear some fans from Mazo's side.

After that, conference play opens up in Mazomanie vs Western Michigan at Lions Park. Following that matchup, it's back-to-back Non-Conf matchups vs Nebraska State followed by traveling to Fresno St. Those matchups round out the non-conference portion of the schedule as Mazo will open their conference play at home before traveling for the following three.

Re: What do you know about Mazo? (NCAA 14 Teambuilder Dynasty)

Roster: I'm using vtcrb's fictional roster that were posted to the OS forums. I believe that these do add some unknown to it which I really enjoy.

Sliders: I'm using JKits sliders to begin the dynasty. Anytime I update it (if I do) I will be posting when I do.

House rules: I've adapted kawkeye's Dynamic Player Progression System to use for my team, opponents, and conference teams as well after year one is completed. I have found this system to be very easy to implement and only takes a short amount of time to do each off-season.

Recruiting rules: These are recruiting rules I have came up with during the past 7+ years I've been playing the game. I have found these rules give me an authentic feel to the game and I have enjoyed these since I've began implementing them a few years ago. They are as follows:

I will not scout players after adding to my board.

I can only scout for positions of need determined by the game.

When scouting, I can only scout for players in top 10 interest in the state of WI regardless of caliber.
- If there is no player interested in WI, I can recruit players of school prestige +1 but with my pipeline states.
- If there is no player interested from WI/pipeline states, I follow same rules as if I were scouting my pipeline states but with surrounding states (IA, IL, IN, MI, MN).
- If there is no player interested in any of the previous rules set, I can scout school prestige nationwide as long as they are in my top 3.
- If there is no player interested in any of those rules set, I am out of luck for that off season.


With that being said, I think it's time to play some football!

Re: What do you know about Mazo? (NCAA 14 Teambuilder Dynasty)

GAME 1: @ #10 LSU (0-1)

The Mustangs opened the game in Wildcat formation with Davon Garret getting stopped in the backfield for -2 yards. This led to a Mustang 3-and-out. LSU’s ball.

The Tigers’ opening drive could not be stopped. Their offense marched them down the field, running the triple option all the way to the endzone on a 7 play, 61 yard drive that was capped off with a 11yd run by Burgess. LSU 7-0.

The Mustangs’ second drive resulted in a three-and-out, for a total of 3yds. They had nothing going. Zay Walker had a pass overthrown on a flat route to Davon Garret. Not much going so far. Crowd is LOVING the Tigers’ performance thus far.

LSU’s second drive was easy as could be. It took two plays to go 52 yards, all on the ground. It’s not looking pretty here and we’ve still got 4 minutes left in the first quarter. 14-0 LSU.

If we can talk about any bright spot in this game so far, it’s that the kick return game can really get some ground covered. Ben Aude finished the opening quarter with 128 yards on kick returns with a long of 55.

The Mustangs opened their third drive of the game with a delay of game. Talk about a feisty crowd, eh? However, the immediate play following the penalty they got their biggest play of the game so far in a drag route by WR Carlone that got them...7 yards. We may need to see more short, quick routes by Zay Walker to get this team in the flow of things. Those 7 yards on the drag route were all that Mazomanie could end up getting on their drive since Tyler Barman could not hang onto the ball on a pass that looked complete 20 yards downfield, but lost control of once the defender made contact. Again, Mazomanie will be punting the ball to the Tigers.

This first quarter has gone about as bad as you could have thought. LSU continues to run the ball down the Mustangs’ throat and they’ve ran the ball in for a third time in this quarter alone. It’s now 21-0.

Ben Aude was easily the standout player for the Mustangs in quarter number one due to the impact he made on the special teams so far. Sure, the team is getting stomped on the ground (literally and figuratively), but a team has to recognize their good players and I think the senior wideout will find himself more involved in the passing game throughout the game.

Mazomanie finally got the ball moving up the field following the 55 yard KR by Ben Aude. On their first play from scrimmage following the KR, Zay Walker completed a 12 yard pass to Dan Carlone and you can tack on an extra 15 after a facemask by LSU to get Mazomanie inching towards the redzone. However, following a holding call by Mazomanie’s OL, and getting stopped in the backfield once again for a loss of three, Mazomanie faced a 3rd-and-23. On this play, Zay Walker attempted to find Jared Thirstin on a corner route that was ruled incomplete that the coaches could no overturn on a challenge. Mazomanie punts again which results in a touchback.

At the end of the first quarter, Mazomanie finds themselves trailed 21-0.

LSU was able to continue running down the field, but once the Mustangs could force a 3rd-and-11, we saw Ezekiel Rogers hold LSU’s WR short of the first down marker to force a FG. The Tigers would make the FG to make this game 24-0.

The Mustangs couldn’t get anything going on their next drive, that stalled with a 28yd pass downfield that was jarred loose on a hit on WR Tyler Barman. LSU on their ensuing drive would be held to a shocking three-and-out, highlighted by a Lamar Janeston TFL on 2nd down. Could we be seeing momentum shift to the Mustang’s sideline?

And THAT. WE. COULD. The Mustang’s scored their first FBS touchdown on a 69yd run by QB Zay Walker where he got a block down field and evaded a diving tackle to take it to the house!!! I think this could be a turning point in the game! Mazomanie notes the score and Coach Kahl opts to go for two and does not get it. You have to take your chances when they are given. LSU still leads 24-6.

Mazomanie would kickoff to LSU and receive a touchback. LSU ran the ball for 9yds on their opening play and followed it with another triple option play where the QB got blown up and pitched to HB Michael Rivera. Rivera would run the ball for a gain of 2 before losing handle of the ball (Ronnie DiCormick would be credited with the FF) and the FS RONALD HARVEY-CLEMON WOULD TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE!!! Mazomanie scores!!! It’s now 24-12. Mazo will opt to go for two once again and on a HB sweep where LSU sheds their blocks basically once the ball is snapped, Davon Garret will still fight and get the ball to across the goalline! It's now a 10 point game! Talk about a turnaround! 24-14 LSU

LSU would convert multiple third-and-longs to extend their drive and go down field where they ultimately would add onto their lead with a (you guessed it) rushing touchdown to make it now 31-14. Sure, you would have loved to hold them to 3, let alone 0 on the drive, but what can you expect vs a top 10 team in the country?

On the ensuing kickoff Ryan Callings would take it for 56 yards to the LSU 44 and give Mazomanie a chance to add on more points.Zay Walker would be complete a 15yd pass to wideout Jared Thirstin and after enduring a big hit, would essentially take the play off since Mazomanie would just run the ball for a -1 gain. Mazomanie would get the ball into the Tiger’s redzone before faltering on how much time was left and threw the ball away with nothing on the clock. Mazo would walk away with zero points despite looking like they could settle for just three.

HALFTIME: LSU 31 MAZOMANIE 14

LSU would open the second half receiving the ball. I don’t even feel like their drives need description anymore because they are back to their early-game selves. They ran their whole drive, taking some 70yds to get into the endzone and hear their fight song for a sixth time. I know we weren’t entirely expecting an upset in Baton Rouge, but to get some stops on the ground would be appreciated.

Mazomanie would eclipse the 100yd rushing mark with about 5:20 remaining in the third quarter (which is a feat in itself against a SEC defense). Talk about an accomplishment in game one! Chewie Benton would add onto the mark with a FORTY-NINE YARD JET SWEEP to take it to the house and make this game 38-20! Zay Walker is showing some character by refusing to let the FG unit on the field and calling his own number on a QB draw. He’s taking his chances when they appear! He snaps the ball and bumps into the offensive line, but STILL makes it into the endzone! It’s now 38-22 with LSU still on top.

Raise your hand if you had Mazomanie in a twop possession game halfway through the third quarter!

Now put your hands down, you liar.

On defense, Mazomanie would give up what is considered an NCAA record 78yd TD run on the very first play to HB Jamie Lawrence to kill any chance they had of making this a one score game. With minutes to spare before we enter the fourth quarter, is there anything really left to play for? Down 45-22?

The answer is no. Mazomanie would end up getting sacked in a third and long situation and after deciding to go for it on 4th-and-25 and not converting, it basically sealed the game. LSU would keep just running the ball and tacking points on. This game would end in a 52-30 romp, inflated by a TD with 0:02 by Tyler Barman.

Despite the troubles at LSU, the Mustangs did not look bad given the circumstances. Certain SEC teams can't even keep it within 2-3 possession's in any game, so the fact that a new FBS team could I think is something to build off of.

Next week is the battle for the Cheese Curd Trophy at Camp Randall and we're looking forward to a matchup that I'm sure will be filled with emotion! Wisconsin is coming off of a 59-14 vs the FCS East Howlers and I'm sure Wisconsin is expecting the same talent matchup in this upcoming game against Mazomanie.


NEXT: at #24 Wisconsin (1-0), 3:30 PM kickoff

Lol, this is the only time I’ll be rooting against Wisconsin (Going to become an annual thing I guess huh).

Truth be told I was very shocked Mazomanie was able to put up that much in their first game, but I figured if they would be able to do anything productive it would be on the return game or on miracle plays. Is it a coincidence that the biggest plays were huge runs by a QB and WR as well as kick returns?

I’m excited to see where this first game will take us. It makes me think this team has the grit to hang with teams in the MAC. Time will tell.

Re: What do you know about Mazo? (NCAA 14 Teambuilder Dynasty)

WEEK 3: MAZO (0-1) @ #24 WISC (1-0)

Mazomanie heads to Madison to take on the 24th ranked Badgers after suffering a three score loss at #8 LSU, 30-52. "We couldn't stop [LSU] from running the ball, I think they had what, 500 yards on the ground?", Coach Kahl said, "Our defense shouldn't be letting up that much overall. Wasn't too happy with our defense last week."

The Mustangs have reason for worry again this week as they'll be facing a Badger squad who ranks fifth in the nation at 311 YPG, lead by QB Joseph Miller. Miller travels by land and sea as he showcased against the Howlers with 136 yards on the ground as well as 238 through the air. All in all he amassed five total touchdowns in the game.

On the other side of the ball, the play caller for the Wisconsin defense is coordinator Mitch Carpenter. Carpenter is in their first season with the Badgers after former DC Travis Wutzel retired after coaching with Wisconsin over 16 seasons. Mitch Carpenter's defense held FCS East in check last week allowing only one touchdown each half en route to a 59-14 victory.


The Mustangs will look to get QB Zay Walker going after a 9-26, 1 INT performance last week which resulted in a fourth quarter benching to SR Rashad Muhammed. Walker did produce the Mustang's first touchdown of the year on a 69 yd run against LSU.

Zay Walker on his start last week: "Just looking to get the short-intermediate passing game going that way we can set up the run later on. The passes will start hitting and Offensive Coach Calvert and I have been working on that a lot this week. I'll get going."

Chewie Benton led the way for the Mustangs last week with 60yds through the air on two catches. Dan Carlone led the team in receptions with 4 that totaled for 43 through the air. Mazomanie was sacked twice and stopped behind the line of scrimmage six times against LSU last week. Mazomanie has alluded to more FB play from Joey Ellsworth to ensure better blocking for the quarterback under center.


PREDICTION: This is the first battle for the Cheese Curd Trophy and one that I'm sure each team is expecting a battle for 60 minutes for it. I think that if Mazomanie is to travel to Madison and defeat an under looked Wisconsin team I think that the offensive line will need to create holes for Davon Garret to get through in order to keep the clock running and contribute gritty yards on the ground. I also think think that Zay Walker doesn't even need to be perfect this game. If he could settle for 130 yards through the air and mistake-free football, I like Mazomanie's chances at putting up points and keeping Wisconsin's defense in check. However..

With the way the Badger's offense was executing their game plan last week it seemed almost like no effort was need in order to put up 59 points. The Badger's tout another lethal run game in comparison to LSU. They have a duo in the backfield with Sidney Williams and Jamaal Grimes that totaled over 150 yards between the two of them. And once your throw in dual-threat QB Joseph Miller, the Badgers ran for 295 yards just between the three of them! Miller also brings in a 62% completion rate so the passing game will be there as well. The passing game is test that Mazomanie's defense hasn't had to deal with so far this year. WR Ernest Williams hauled in 7-126-3 to lead all Badgers on offense against FCS East. It will be interesting to see what kind of plays the Mustangs will use to try and keep Wisconsin in check.

Final say: With that being said, I expect to see Wisconsin continue their trend from last week and roll with ease against their Dane County counterparts in a lopsided home win. I'm predicting a win for Wisconsin: 49-14.

Re: What do you know about Mazo? (Mazomanie Mustangs Teambuilder Dynasty)

I live in Wisconsin and have no idea where Mazomanie is lol. Good luck on this dynasty can't wait to see where it goes!

Yeah unless you're from there I would hope nobody knows where it's at LOL. Thanks! Looking forward to getting some games in and writeups. Just need to find a good consistent schedule that works for me. Always get the itch on Saturday mornings though :wink:

UPSET OF THE WEEK: Unranked Tennessee knocked off then #5 Oregon in Knoxville by a score of 42-39. Chris Rutledge completed 19 of his 25 passes for 379 yards and four scores. Joe Bailey led Tennessee receivers with 178 yards on six receptions, two of which went for touchdowns. Oregon HB T.J. Ryan was their highlight of the day going for 157 yards on the ground on 33 carries. This win by Tennessee would propel them to #18 in the country and dropping Oregon to #14.

Interesting...I guess I keyed in our stats as Wisconsin's and vice versa. Will fix when I get home
