Heisman! Broke fanatic's streak. WOOT! :tongue2:

I was happy to sneak into the top 5 at the end of the year. My HB this year was nice and could break some tackles initially but didn't have the homerun speed like the my previous one. Wasn't the WVU HB the frontrunner all year?

I'm hoping one of the two 5* I have coming in are studs or else I will be in the same boat; nice HB's but no studs. I'm excited to get to the offseason in this league.

The game with Piney would have been boring as sin to watch as a spectator but was fun to play. Drops plagued him and 4 turnovers hurt me, again. These were on me though, not my QB, I just made dumb throws.

I'm going to try & get my game in tonight, but if not I won't be able to until Sunday night at the earliest. I'll be out of town for a wedding all weekend.

He was in the lead for most of the season, but Fletcher took over the lead in week 10. Fletcher had just had a 250+ yard game in week 7, and 300+ yard games in weeks 8 and 9.


Also, screw Ohio State. I wanted the week 1 rematch. That game in week 1 changed my approach to running this triple option offense, and also changed my defensive philosophy. So much so, that I only gave up 85 points in the 12 games that followed your 34-7 blowout in week 1.

Oh well, Olaf deserved the NCG berth more than I did anyway. His loss was due to broken PS3, not broken gameplan.

Yeah, was a classic SEC defensive slug fest (or offensive ineptitude)

The drops came early and often and drove me crazy. Open WR, perfect throw and it bounces off the WR's helmet? Overall my team had 8 drops, not pretty.

But that wasn't the reason for the loss, I blew some great oppprtunites. Threw an ill-advised INT on a 3rd and goal where I should have just eaten the ball and settled for a FG. I ate a precious 2nd half timeout when I decided halfway through the playclock to try something different and came to the line with 6-7 seconds left to snap (and automotion in the play to boot) I then for some reason came out in punt formation on a LONG FG try... really fanatic... a 60+ yarder? and of course the punt returner caught it in the end zone and took it out costing me 30 yards of field position.

Then the icing was letting fanatic lull me to sleep and throw a 60+ yard TD after I took the lead in the 4th quarter. Pissed me off cuz I was in 2 deep man coverage and had two guys back there, he just blew right by me.

And then fanatic still was able to hit a 60+ yard FG try to ice it at the end of the game... really fanatic... couldn't you have missed that one instead?

But really a great game to play in. Reminded me of fanatic and I classic games in the first years of our dynasty (the classic Kent St v Ohio games we had)

The only reason I missed the 65 yard field goal was I didn't hit it full. I hit at least 5 60+ FG's this year with a long of 64 I believe. With a slightly quicker release from my QB prior to the missed FG, I would have hit my TE that was wide open. He may not have gotten the first down, but it would have been 15 yards closer anyway.

I was watching the play clock dwindle when you used that TO and was wondering what happened?

My two TD's were big risks; the first one was the draw play on 3rd and Goal from the 4 or 5 and the 70+ yard reception to Arnett when I was getting no separation from my WR's. Even on that play I didn't get any separation until the end of the route. Then on the final 4th Down from you, I was anticipating you picking it up and getting pay back from the first game.

How tOSU was in the Championship game is beyond me. Miller wasn't the starter and the QB's threw the ball away with no pressure at least 5 times. I put the game on conservative clock to get it over quicker and save some embarrassment for them.

It pissed me off a few times how open your TE was on a consistent basis as I 'keyed' on him on basically any potential pass play.

Yeah, for some reason I had second thoughts due to the bad field position to coming out in the flexbone, then when I did there was no time for the automotion to complete before I would snap the ball.

Yeah, that 3rd and goal call was genius really. Pissed me off that I at least didn't account for it. Cuz normally in goal line situations even if you are in 4WR I come out in a 4-2-5 package (or a 3-4, 4-4 and drop zones). That time I didn't and it cost me. Even then my LB was tracking you but just couldn't get there in time because you made a beeline for the sideline.

That final 4th down was not even close which saddened me. I blew it so badly on reading coverage on my throws I was just off. Why couldn't any of your guys cover like my deep guys to let a couple of my streak guys to get loose.

Maybe next year... with a true frosh QB

 

[fanaticbuckeye]

I wonder if we're on in the regular season again next year?

Unless you were running a 60 series pass or draw play. If you're actually lined up with 6-7 seconds, then every other automotion ,from any flexbone formation, will complete before you get a delay of game. You really only need 3-4 seconds. The 60 series plays take a little while for the wingback or slot receiver to go clear across the field, but everything else is pretty quick.

Well, I broke the huddle with 6-7 seconds left and was lined up with about 3 seconds left. Just too tight for comfort.

Will get alot more practice with it next season since my true frosh is an option machine, B speed, A acceleration & A- agility with an A- elusiveness as icing on the top. Also nice that my backup has speed whom I used this year as my experimentation QB to save my starter. The only thing is he is HORRIBLE passing. But a decent option for backup duty.

The wingback misdirection has a quick automotion, but 3 seconds is really pushing it.

 

[IronBuckI]

I''ll get my game in either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

Every play I've ever called that involved motion in it would go off no matter where the motioning player was. If I have a slot receiver going to the other side of the field, and I hike the ball with two seconds left, then the ball will still hike. The slot guy just has farther to go. I've never had a delay of game because of motion in a play. Then again, I may just not have those plays in my playbook.

 

[Smooth Olaf]

MD's the last one before advancing to the offseason.

 

[MD Buckeye]

I'll get my game in tonight. Probably around 930 or 10
