NCAA dynasty
I feel like reporting about my NCAA 2004 dynasty as I like feedback and it helps keep me intrested.
I took Michigan (suprise). My goals were basically 1) Beat Ohio State and ruin there season. 2) Make a BCS bowl. 3) Finish in the top 10 i started ranked 10th. I edited the schedule to make it tougher. I started off facing central Michigan and Colorado away, then go home to face Notre Dame (20th) and Maryland (15) Sorry I wont have all the names for the visiting teams players, but I dont feel like looking them up, so the ones I know ill post the others ill just list there position. Ill try and keep these short so you dont get bored reading about them.

The warmup games:
Before I kick it into conference play, or even Notre Dame and Maryland I played Central and Colorado to get a better handle on the game. The central game was what you would expect, a 35-0 win. Navarre was 12-24 for 198 and 2TD (0int) and Perry had 115yd and 18 car with 2 touch's of his own and on defence...well we owned getting 7 sacks and Marlon Jackson ran a pick back for a TD 42 yd. The Colorado game was not as easy. despite what the 31-13 score may indicate. My defence dominated them again (I have the top D in the league). The first half was a disaster offensivley, we scored 14 points, but 1 was off a INT return (by #29 SS..cant find his name) and the other was because Braylon Edwards had a sensational punt return down to the 5. We went into the half 14-7 but our offence was not going anywhere. In the 3rd, Colorado put in 2 FG and our offence was still doing nothing, Navarre only had 2 complete pass's in 10 attempts at this point and Perry had just 30 yards. It took an option play in the 4th to jumpstart our offence. 2 of them actually. The first one gained us 20 yards when we were pinned at the 8 amd the next one got us 9 and a 3rd and 4 and from there perry simply exploded along with Tony Brackens and fullback Kevin Dudley to get us in close again and eventually net us a field goal. More of the same after our defence stoned there next possession and eventually Navarre complete a pass or 2 to get Perry into position to punch in another TD (#3 for the year) and the next posession Edwards went long and Navarre hit him for a 40 yard bomb which setup Navarres only TD pass, an 8 yard curl route to Calvin Bell. And thats how the game would end, 31-13. Perry had only 64 yds (he got some negative carries before we started passing again) and Navarre was only 7-17 with 1 TD and 1 pick but we turned it on at the right time and got the win. Info: Im ranked #8 now. 9th ranked NC State is heading to Columbus to take on the #1 ranked buckeyes. Now time for the real games...

cool....I play that game all the time as well, except I play as the Miami Hurricanes...I'll probably start one of these myself if it goes well....
Edit:BTW, do you import the actual names of the college players? I do that, and even if it's a small adjustment, it means a lot to me. I suggest if you have a Sharkport, go to MaddenMania.com....then you'll enjoy the game a lot more Last edited by Jordan; 08-08-2003 at 04:32 PM. |

Game 3. Home vs the #16 ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame
This is listed as the game of the week My offensive strategy is to run, there secondary is just too good and I have an advantage if I run behind my 2 tackles. Defensivley I want to shutdown there passing game, my front 7 are too good for the to run against anyways, mainly Im going to double there 2 big wide outs, as there slot guys cant hurt me if im in my nickle packages. First Quarter: First drive of the game, Notre Dame promptly through a pick circa the 35 yard line and after 2 successful runs a quick PA fade route to Braylon Edwards led to a quick 7-0 U of M lead. Then after a Irish punt John Navarre hooked up with TE Tim Massaquoi and Calvin Bell on 3rd downs and Chris Perry had a few more carries, including a 1 yd run for the TD. And right before the whistle the Irish fumbled the ball on the 50 and thats how the quarter would end. Second Quarter: A very sloppy quarter, with 3 turnovers between the teams. To start things off Navarre through a pick on the post-fumble drive to setup a long long drive by Notre Dame, carried mainly by there passing game, but it was not to be as on 2nd and goal from thte 8 Marlon Jackson picked off the QB (the 2nd INT for ND) in the endzone to setup a nice drive the other way. Navarre was on this drive hitting Bell, Edwards and Massaquoi on the way down, but Calvin Bell fumbled a 3rd down pass at the 14 to setup, you guessed it, another long drive this time resulting in a field goal. This drive was much the same as the first WR #80 and WR #21 torching me every which way for little 6-7-8 yard routes on 3rd and short. They couldn't get any thing on the run though. At the half 14-3 Miiiiiiiiiichigan. 3rd Quarter A pretty boring quarter as I was just trying to control the ball, and that was displayed in the 1 scoring drive of the quarter a 3 minute bore fest down for a FG to make the score 17-3. The Irish had 1 3&out and I simply ran the ball with a few nice pass's to keep drives going as I would let the clock run down. 4th Quarter Much the same as the 3rd quarter except I had the ball a little more and I passed a little less. The one scoring drive was a 4 minute long (remember 7 minute qtrs) FG drive where I simply ran the ball almost every play. Final 20-3 Win for the Wolverines. Notre Dame: 179 tot yds 147pas yds 32 rush yds Michigan: 347 tot yds 252 pas yds 95 rush yds ND: QB #7 8-17 147yd 2INT HB #4 11 car 35yd WR #21 3 rec 56yd WR #80 3 rec 79yd FS #19 11Tack 2 sacks as a team 0 3rd down conv 3 turnovers Mich: Navarre 12-18 227yd TD INT Perry 27car 96yd TD 3 rec 6yd Edwards 4 rec 132 yd TD Bell 3rec 47yd (Hurt in 3rd quarter, out for rest of game) Massasquoi 2 rec 19yd Brackens 1 rec 12 yd 5 car 4yd Jackson 5tack (1 loss) INT, 2PD, 1FF, 1FR

All-American for now as it still puts up a decent challenge, but if it becomes too easy Ill have to go to Heisman.
I was thinking about taking miami...then I saw that annoying Buckeye magazine cover... Game 4 vs 17th ranked Maryland. Maryland was a beatup team comming in, missing a lineup, top wideout and there stud RB, so its simple play the pass (there backup HB is bla and my front 7 have proven themselves) and blitz like crazy (my corners are better then there WR without there star). Play a simple ball control offence taking a few deep chances on play action (they have 1 helluva secondary and there front 7 are as good as mine....so I may have to try a few option plays to open em up when they start shifting over) And when I do have to pass, spread them out my depth at WR far overshadows there depth at corner. First Quarter I decided to receive the ball (I usually kick) and it payed off well, a 12 play 3+ minute drive in which my game plan worked perfectly. After a few nice runs I spread them out and hit 3 consecutive pass's, Perry, Edwards, Butler then after a few short plays on 3rd and 5 Calvin Bell on a drag over the middle takes the ball and runs to the house for a 17yd TD to put me up 7-0. They would respond 2 drives later with a very effective pass game, capped by a 48 yard lob pass over Jackson jumping hand that was then ran the other 35 yards in. And thats how the Quarter would end in a 7-7 tie 2nd Quarter After a long, but disapointing drive (2 straight drops) and after a punt that went into the endzone, Marlon Jackson, for the second time this year, picks off the 1st pass thrown and runs it back for the score to put me up 14-7. Marlyland would threaten a few times but they never would find the endzone...or goal posts and we would go into the half 14-7. Halftime 14-7 3rd Quarter I controlled the clock...punt...3&out....punt.... I get it......punt... 4th quarter Maryland opens the quarter up with a play very similar to there first touchdown pass...just a little deeper and a little better throw but same result, tie game 14-14. Then after a thrilling set of back and forths, including a boneheaded decision by me to go for it on 4th and inch's from the 16 instead of kicking the field goal Maryland after a great punt return kicks a FG with just 1:04 remaning to go up 17-14 After a touchback First play from scrimage Navarre hits Edwards middle of the field, 48 yards down field. incomplete pass on the fake spike Out and Up is the call 35 seconds on the clock At a glance I see the safty cheating up, hes doubling up Butler in the trips set I call for Bell to run the streak The strong saftey NAILS navarre...but he sheds it and starts running left...hes at the sideline and just launches deep the nickle back hits it It bounces off the LB helmet INTO BELLS HANDS TOUCHDOWN MIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIGAN And I go ahead and take the excessive celebration call, those flips are cool and its now 21-17 I kick the squiber Get into Dime Prevent Spread my line, your sure as hell not gonna run the option on me First play batted away by SS #29 same call Db's back this time... Overthrown and the wideout gets upended by SS #29 Same call..DBs back Markus Curry hits it away 16 seconds left Same call I take my LB and move him to the 50 OVERTHROWN MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIGAN WINS...MamamamamaMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIGAN wins

And conference play begins here in Week 6.
Home vs Indiana Im just gonna come out running all over these guys, dont need to make a mistake in the passing game (getting INTs ran back or having them in prime position). My wideouts have enough trouble catching the ball. Defensivley they have a decent enough passing attack, well with there 2 top wideouts too cause me a little concern so I plan on playing alot of nickle, with ALOT of double teams on those 2. They have no WR depth and there O-line should get knocked back by my D-Line. First Quarter Chris Perry 'nuff said. A 50 yd TD run on an option was the second TD...he also scored 2 more on the ground and racked up 75yd on 6 carries. Navarre was 3/4 with 54yd. And they accumulated about 15 yards on me.... 21-0. Second Quarter Indiana actually played a pretty good offensive quarter..except 2 turnovers but they do have over 100 yards at the half which is more then most teams get on me in the first half. Perry put in TD #4 on the ground and SS #29 got another pick, plus Jackson scored TD #3 defensivley, running a fumble back. Score at the half 35-0 Halftime 35-0 3rd quarter Indiana put together a nice drive to get a field goal, there first points of the game. I put together a muy impressive drive though to get another touchdown, this one through the air to go up 42-3. 4th Quarter I scored twice and pretty much shutdown Indiana. A real blowout of a quarter every run got me 7 or 8 yards and they couldn't stop a pass at all. Edwards got a TD rec on the last play of the game and Navarre ran one in himself. Final 56-3 Ind Tot 227 (impressive) run 34 pas 193 Sacks 0 ToP 11: 37 TO 3 3rd down % 18% Mich Tot 464 run 270 pas 194 sacks 3 ToP 16:23 TO 0 3rd down % 83% Navarre 9-11 (lots of passing eh) 194yd 2TD Perry 34 car 209yd 4TD (I told you i was gonna run..) Dudley 9 car 51yd Edwards 4rec 129yd TD QB #10 13-27 193yd HB #33 13 car 53yd (he was actually impressive..broke a few tackles and had some nice speed) WR #19 4 rec 80yd WR #80 4rec 45yd I was sorta disapointed I couldn't contain these 2 better...but they didn't score a TD so I guess I didn't do too bad. After the next game Ill post an update of my teams stats

No real names (xbox) and since i didn't follow it nationaly last year as much as I wanted to I dont know the names anyways (i know alot of the MSU, UofM, OSU, Wis, Purdue names)
Though road game at Iowa. This is a big week going into the game as alot of top teams are playing tough games Miami (#3) is playing west virginia (#19) Kansas State (#4) is AT Texas (#10) Oklahoma (#2) is AT Iowa State (almost in top 25 now) Auburn (#5) is hosting Tennessee (#9) So a win this week can almost assure my #7 wolverines will jump ATLEAST 1 spot in a very winnable game vs a very average Iowa team. Gameplan This is a game that worries me as Iowa has alot of talent. I really really need to control the ball and keep that stud HB off the field. Im not sure how successful my run is going to be, but when its not I look for Braylon Edwards to come up big for me and my #3 wide Calvin Bell needs to produce in a short controlled passing attack. They have a weakness at free saftey with an injury and a BAD backup so I will take a few deep shots early. Defence My best defence is gonna be my offence, and keeping these guys off the field. They have a great wideout, a great H back and a solid passing QB. I want to bring pressure where there weak right up the middle and Jackson is gonna have to have a big game doubling up there star receiver. LeSeur is gonna have to come up big in single coverage for me... AND STOP THAT RUN. First Quarter Battle of the inept offences as just 31 total yards were accumulated between them, only 5 by me. There were also 3 turnovers, all INT's one by Iowa and 2 by our wolverines, one by Marlon Jackson which was then returned for the TD for the only excitement of the quarter. Score 7-0 Second Quarter More of the same except even less offence. This time it was my turnover that led to the score, a field goal. I optioned the ball into my tightends head at about the 37 and 1 pass later there at the two. I make a great goal line stand with 40 seconds left. Incomplete pass, incomplete pass then an option where we chop down the tailback at the 2 inch line setup a FG which made the game 7-3 Score at the half 7-3 Third Quarter Nothing really we just exchanged bad offences and punts Fourth Quarter The hawkeyes started it with a field goal to make it 7-6 with 6:50 left to play after we exchange punts for a bit longer Iowa begins what turned out to be the strangest drive ever. They converted 4 consecutive 3rd and 10's, all off pass's and 2 of those off tipped balls. And with just 15 seconds left the put it into the endzone to go up 14-7. First Play after the kick (in the endzone, fair caught) dropped by Edwards at the 40. Second play is a catch down to the 35 BUT I HAVE NO TIMEOUTS and the clock would simply tick away handing me my first loss of the season 14-7 Iowa. I place some of the blame on myself for some bad offensive play calling but I place most of it on John Navarre who just had an atrocious game going 4-19 with a pick and just 76 yd. He missed several open receievers and didn't do anything like hes done in the previous 5 games like making a clutch pass here or there. He just didn't have it. Totals Mich Tot 132 Run 56 Pas 76 ToP 14:25 TO 2 3rd down % 23% sacks 4 Iowa Tot 229 Run 64 Pas 165 ToP 13:35 TO 2 3rd down % 33% sacks 2 Again some of the problem was my play calling, I didnt pass enough early so they keyed up my running game and then Navarre imploded. My offensive game plan was flawed and I guess all I have left to look forward too is BEATING THE BUCKEYES Navarre 4-19 76 yd INT Perry 19car 51yd Edwards 1 rec 45yd (last play of game) QB #10 10-31 165yd 2INT HB #2 16 car 56yd TD (game winner) WR #9 5 rec 81yd (3 of those on the last drive) Stats comming up next

Time to play for the little brown jug
Im looking to revenge my loss too Iowa vs Minnesotta I also noticed IF I go undefeated the rest of the way, and IF Ohio State beats both Iowa and Wisconsin we can have a showdown to see who wins the big 10. Gameplan Offence Just run em over, they cant stop my run game Defence Play with 8 in the box, they dont have much of a passing attack (weak WR core) but they have some nice backs that I need to watch out for. First Quarter The golden gophers couldn't get anything done on offence and I promptly marched down the field and put up the first and onl score of the quarter on a Navarre TD pass to Calvin Bell. 7-0 Second Quarter Pretty boring quarter, id drive a bit but come up just short and punt it, shut down minnesotta and so forth. No scoring. But the game is alot more lopsided then the score says.. Halftime 7-0 Michigan Third Quarter Minnesotta opens the half with a 75 yard option run for the TD to tie it up. Towards the end of the quarter though my offence finally began clicking and I drove down with about 2 mintues left and Navarre hit Edwards for a big 3rd down TD strike to go up 14-7. Then immediately following that drive the gophers fumble on the 20, but after a sack its thrown into the endzone...jumpball.... INTERCEPTION and thats how the quarter would end with me still up 14-7. Fourth Quarter I scored another time and simply ran around. Game was never really in question they just couldn't get together a real drive. They'd get a first or 2 then get stopped. Final 21-7 Mich tot 265 run 116 pas 149 3rd down % 40 TO 1 Sacks 4 ToP 16:22 Min Tot 214 run 88 pas 127 3rd down % 23 TO 2 sacks 2 ToP 11:38 Navarre 9-18 149yd 2TD INT Perry 31 car 101yd 4 rec 56yd Edwards 1 rec 31yd TD Bell 1 rec 42yd TD MLB #37 6tack/3loss 2 sack FF QB #8 8-25 127yd HB #23 13 car 74yd TD WR # 84 3 rec 52yd TE # 89 2 rec 26yd

Ranked 12
11th in BCS I still have an outside chance at the National Championship, but I obviously cant lose again. Remaining schedule Home vs Illinois (35) Home vs Purdue (32) At Michigan State (101) At Northwestern (84) HOME vs the BUCKEYES of Ohio State (1) Not a cakewalk but the first 4 games are very winable (sp?) Sparty and Northwestern are just gonna be tuneups for the showdown at the big house. I plan on finishing this season tommorow...and HOPEFULLY get the off-season done tommorow night. if you wondering I type this up while I play the game.

Yes but its NOT a typo. It has to do with the 1997 defence... they were so quick (Woodson and the secondary that is) A message board I frequented then (no longer around) called them the "maze" and blue because a QB trying to follow his wideout was like following him through a maze. Dorky yes...but I dont like how maize is spelled... Plus we havn't had much to get excited about in terms of national titles up till this year so it like remember the good old days (yes im young) ![]() off to play illinois. Whats your record as Miami Jordan?

Game 8 vs Illinois
This is a game Im a little worried about as Illinois is playing very well (5-2) and have a great passing game. Gameplan On offence I again want to control the clock, the less I have to worry about ther passing game the better and there LB/DL is so weak it should be easy to run all over them. I setup a mismatch with Edwards as my #2 instead of my #1 so he can go against there vastly inferior #2 corner ( a 69 as compared to there 88 #1). I should be able to take a few deep shots if needed.. there not overly fast in the secondary. Defence, I will play the nickle ALL game, and double to wideouts and setup my DL to jam the tightends every single time. There passing game WILL NOT beat me. First Quarter After there first drive nets them -10 yards Braylon Edwards takes the punt 50 yards to the barn to put me up 7-0 quick. They respond by marching.....well throwing downfield to get a FG to make it 7-3. Exactly what I didn't want to happen. Thats about how the quarter would end 7-3 Second Quarter They start off doing the exact same thing, passing all over me and making a FG...ok this is exactly what I didn't want happening... NOT next drive they through a little drag route, break 3 tackles and take it to the house oh... 75 yards later and now im down 13-7 with a floundering offence. So what happens, A fumble on my 32... but my defence holds on 4th and 10. But Braylon Edwards comes through again on special teams. This time he returns a punt 25 some odd yards to the 45, setting up a nice littel set of runs for about 15 yards then, just as I said in my game plan, I play action fade it to the corner of the endzone where Calvin Bell makes a spectacular leaping reception in the corner getting just 1 foot (and his toes where on the chalk) and a TD to go up 14-13 with 2 minutes left. And thats how we'd go into the half. 14-13 Third Quarter 3rd quarter we came out firing. We went a little heavier on the pass and it payed off with a solid opening drive (punt..but good) 3& out by IU then Navarre hit Edwards in the endzone to go up 21-13. Fourth Quarter Pretty slow, untill I (guy I was playing as) LB # 37 intercepted a ball as they were driving at about the 12 and ran it back to the house (this was my first INT of the season as my "guy" ) to pad my lead a little at 18-13 with 3 minutes left. After a 3& out I again get into scoring position after a short drive and Brackens pounds it in from the 1 to go up 35-13. Ensuing drive after LB #37 (me) bats a ball away right into the hands of marcus curry for the pick at the 30 which sealed the game. Final 31-13. This is one of my proudest wins in the game since I honestly though I had blown my season at halftime thinking I was gonna lose and to come back and win this big.

EDIT: OHIO STATE LOST TO IOWA. So if Iowa wins out (Penn State, Purdue, Minnesotta, Illinos, Wisconsin left) they will win the conference. This means are meeting (OSU that is) at the end of the year will likely determine an at large BCS bid (im 9 in BCS there 7) PS-Im currently 11 thanks to all that have been replying
