2016 Week 1 Discussion

This is gonna be a great year.. no ppl moving no one dropping.. everyone plays everyone.. new user match ups.. its a wide open year..

Dangit. guess I didn't pay the scheduling guy enough, as my only rival was left off the schedule.

Oregon Makes It Look Easy Breezy

Oregon 63
Georgia 33

After Redshirting their entire #3 ranked class last year, those players looked to step in and make an immediate impact. And boy did they ever. Redshirt Freshman Michael Owens Jr. Erupted for 11 Catches 237 Yards and 4 TDs. Trenton Hood saw limited action due to the one sided victory but scampered for 113 Yards and 1 TD. Maurice Davis passed for 4 Tds, and Redshirt QB/HB Aerillius Williams ran the wildcat to perfection as he threw for 113 yards and a TD, Ran for a TD and Caught a TD. This years Oregon squad is very diverse. No longer a one trick pony. With a big matchup with Michigan next week...they look to keep it rolling!

#23 Penn State beats Clemson in Death Valley 47-27...first things first...Game speed must be turned up...it plays way too slow....and way too many facemasks calls....Great game by my running back and I pulled my starting QB for a RS-FR and he looks to be my new starter...and from now on K....no games after my Big Ten games....thats a no no....having 2 byes in teh first 4 weeks is not the thing I'm, looking for.....

about to run to the store to buy stuff to make chili for the game tonight....

will play in a couple hours

Bucc UCF would not play u.. in all the weeks i had space to put them in.. they werent available.. i tried all of ur open weeks and it couldnt happen but i did try.. 9's i can meet ur request but then u will play both ur user game more than likely in back to back weeks 1-3 maybe 4 depending on what the big ten gives u.. I dont think u guys under stand what that process is like... if i dont do it its cause i cant.. i dont have alot of felx and with 2 ooc user games for some i got to match up open weeks... but 9's if ur okay with potentially starting ur season out with user games in week 2 and 3 maybe 4 than i will do that form now on.. i try not to give ne one back to back user games where i can avoid it.. hell i got a bye week 1 i didnt want that but its was the only way...

that being said cmon ppl play those games.. let ol mizzou get a shot at it.. hey grey Im coming out to the ZOO.. strap up its gonna be a good time!!! lol

o and ya facemask does happen to much ill adjust... also i didnt touch the sliders yet as no uniform decision was made..and the game speed is the same it has been from the start.. its on normal speed thresh at like 45.. grudens sliders ask for the game speed to be moved to slow lol so i guess we dont like that idea.. u wanna push up the speed? i kinda liked it as is..i think fast is gonna be too fast..

Lol I saw that ax. Well welcome you to the zoo. And then I looked at your secondary and said "man this dude is spoiled!" You have a 94 corner a 88 corner and a couple 78s. I mean my best player on def is a 89 lol spoiled! Hope we get to week 2 by tonight. Got a game against ggang

Im just busting your chops Ax, hopefully in the coming years a week will open up for me to play them

GT getting ready to kick of the 2016 season

yo ax i thought the majority of us were for the slider changes? Grudens were fine imo, the only thing we needed to change was the game speed back to normal and the threshold to 35 i think you said.

there were other little things that i thought needed to be increased but mabey that was just me. if everyone else feels the same we can change them later, but his base set should work fine.

either way i think his provide a much more balanced game then the ones we have in place now. im just tired of seeing those 70-30 blowouts you know.
Do u think you can put them in for next week?

Pitt envades Miami, highsteps away with 40-10 victory.

It would be the first year Coach Macc would take the field without his super senior class, four of them going in the first round of the NFL selection draft (Brock Harris - Detroit Lions, Preston East - Baltimore Ravens, Kory Rogers - Tennessee Titans, Tramon Beck - Minnesota Vikings) and there would be a completely new look on the field. Despite losing almost the entire starting lineup, it did not look to be an inexperienced group. The defence was fast, always around the ball and gang tackled with purpose. The secondary, which will be this teams question moving forward was lead by first year nickle back corner, Jeff Coleman a first year junior college transfer, with juniour eligibility. The coaching staff discussed the opportunity to redshirt him to maximize his potential but there's no question that Coleman is probably their best playmaker at DB.

QB Marcus Eldridge has a new friend in WR Will Rosario, they connected twice for scores, the first a 64 yard catch and run that Rosario showed his break away speed that resulted in todays play of the game. Travis Robinson recorded a score from 31 yards out and TE Ken Williams had a score from 29.

More on first year players, sophmore DE Jordan Wyatt in VERY limited playing time (only in 5-2 sets) recorded three sacks on the day, one being a safety. Wyatt was in on maybe 5 or 6 snaps the entire game, it's evident the ammount of pressure senior DE's Joe Henderson and Dane Richard are dialing up allow for Wyatt to show the impact he can have on the field. Wyatt will be a player to lookout for in the future and he was today's impact defensive player.

QB Marcus Eldridge 13-21 265 yards 4TDs
RB Jacob Lee 16 carries 61 yards 1TD
WR Will Rosario 6 rec 116 yards 1TD
TE Ken Williams 2 rec 63 yards 1TD

MLB Dwayne Graham 7 solo tackles 2TFL
DE Dane Richard 6 solo tackles 2TFL
CB Jeff Coleman 5 solo tackles 1pass def

Initial opinion on sliders
- CPU still dials up pressure on EVERY play action pass. It's still impossible to throw out of PA.
- CPU offense seemed to be "clicking" more, no more EASY three and outs that I could've gotten without playing at all. There were some drvies where I dialed up pressure or called a nice zone that put me in position to three and out them, but it seems like the CPU off is no longer a push over. A running game was present. Good mix.
- Too many fumbles. I saw about 4 or 5 today.
- CPU passing is no longer unstoppable THANK YOUUU

All in all these are certainly a step in the right direction. The CPU pass off was our main problem last year, and it appears as if the adjustment of CPU has accounted for big plays so it wont just be them moving the ball thru the air. It was against a pretty weak MIA team and my teams quite stacked - but this felt like a good competitive set based on this game.

ok here is the thing with the sliders... i can change it but its not fair for ppl to be going into user games with a whole new game play.. yes i kno the sliders reset to 50/50 but we are changing the speed threshold as well.. and who knows what effects that has.. but from what i am reading in order to balance the sliders u need it set to 0.. remember the speed threshold is going to change the speed diff between lb and wr and things of that nature not fair to have to learn how to adjust that on the fly inna user game.. but idc up to u guys...

macc that is ur imagination at work.. we didnt touch the sliders yet LOL!!!

Well USF starts week 1 with a conference victory 52-32. This team is gonna be very inconsistent this year I imagine.

Next week USF hosts Florida State. The talent level is way one-sided on this matchup, lets hope to keep it close.

titan.. boondock.. almeic..mydas left..come on come on!!!! pitt hard commits 2 5 stars week one.. wtf?!

playing my game now... start of 2nd quartr down 14 to 7... running back just broke an 80 yard touchdown run

slider change is up.. i made some adjustments based on what i have read.. good luck to everyone with them next week..im not gonna change the speed threshold for the user games sake.. i dont want ne complaints..

Arizona State ties it up right before the half... 21 to 21 at the break

I have 5 quarterbacks very similar in rating, my first choice didnt play so well, 2nd choice is a redshirt freshman... he is 2 for 2 for 63 yards and a touchdown

senior tailback has 11 carries for 167 yards, 2 touchdowns... 1 catch for 35 yards and a touchdown...

Start of 4th, same score... 21 all

Nice win... im in a dogfight...

i cant wait until the new sliders however lol

my freakin running back is running with every ounce of everything he has in his body

Arizona State opened the 2016 season with a win over SEC opposition Ole Miss, 35 to 28 Saturday in Tempe, AZ. Ole Miss jumped out to a 14 to 0, then 21 to 7 lead in the first half before ASU scored twice in the final minutes of the first half to tie it up at the break. The third quarter saw the defenses trading punches as neither offense managed to get going, but in the 4th quarter the Sun Devil offense led by senior tailback Clinton Webb managed to put up 14 points and notch the victory in the season opener. "It is big to win your first game, get some confidence going, especially at home, get the fans believing in you too, you know we got down early, but I told the guys, especially the seniors, this was our year, our last ride man, and we aint gonna go out like this, we gotta step up and be leaders and put the team on our back, I think we did that today," said Webb. Webb had a career day at tailback, carrying the ball 21 times for 262 yards and 2 touchdowns, also caught 1 pass for 35 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore Marcus Manson started the day at quarterback, but threw two early interceptions and never got in rhythm which led to him being benched in favor of redshirt freshman Dustin Edwards. Edwards looked sharp in his first career action, not trying to do to much, and just taking what was there. Edwards finished the day 8 of 12 for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns, 1 interception. "The interception was a bad decision, it was a play fake and the pressure got to me and i kinda just let it go, bad decision, sometimes a sack is the best thing and I know that, just gotta play smart on the field," said the freshman Edwards. Coach Hickerson was most impressed with the defense, which had 9 guys with at least 3 tackles and forced 2 turnovers. "We played awful in the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, but from that point the guys made it a team effort, we dont have any stars on this defense and we know we have to play a team defense, we have each others back on the field, and we have to rely on that. Trust each other, is something we been preaching all camp, and they didnt go by that early, but in the second half especially they begin to trust each other a little more, and it paid off. We will get better every day on that side of the ball, but today, minus the first 15 minutes.. I loved the effort and intensity," said Hickerson.

Next week the Sun Devils with begin the tour of Oregon as they take on the Beavers of Oregon State before traveling to the Zoo at Autzen the week after to take on the number 8 Ducks and Coach Grey.
