You do, but I don't -think- you need Xbox Live Gold (the paid version) so make an account and see if you can download the rosters from the user "dericksun" be advised a couple of teams are sort of botched right now and incomplete namely Ok State and Duke. They basically took all the players from last year who graduated last year like Mason Rudolph, made them Freshman, and gave them the last name of "XXXXX" as placeholders. So they're busted having a 94 OVR freshman at QB named Mason XXXXX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also be able to get a free trial for 48 hours somehow? don't remember if there's still a way to do that, but once you have it your set.

Danger Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Welcome one and all to the first annual Crawdad Classic! Troy Southern Miss Record 2-1 @ Record 2-1 OVR OFF DEF OVR OFF DEF 81 83 82 77 81 75 Scoring Summary 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q Final Troy 14 7 0 6 27 Southern Miss 0 10 0 0 10 The defense certainly learned their lesson. The only mistake was my fault where I clicked Punt Return on 4th down with 0:05 left in the second quarter and didn't realize they were going for it from their own 30 yard line because it was the last play of the half. They bombed it for a touchdown. Feels bad.

He took too many sacks, threw a couple picks in the redzone, and couldn't get us in the endzone on multiple occasions in the second half either having it picked off or settling for a field goal. All-in-all, we came away with a pretty solid win but we have areas we need to clean up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Well the game decided that this matchup is an OFFICIAL rivalry game. Against Middle Tennessee State. Don't have any ideas for the name yet so the placeholder is the "Ray O'Connor Bowl" Troy Middle Tenn State Record 3-1 @ Record 3-1 OVR OFF DEF OVR OFF DEF 81 83 82 84 88 82 Who is Ray O'Connor? He's that Sophomore JUCO runningback recruit that decided to ditch me on signing day when I'd been leading for him all along in the recruitment process. Turns out I got a Freshman running back recruit that was an ATH who was just as good so it worked out for me, but I'm still bitter. Ray O'Connor would normally be MTSU's 3rd running back but one of their two that are co-starters, was injured, so Ray got some playtime, and oh... did it feel good. Scoring Summary 1st Q 2nd Q 3rd Q 4th Q Final Troy 10 7 14 7 38 Middle Tenn State 7 7 0 0 14 Defense has really stepped up their game since the embarrassing performance they had at home against Rutgers. They've improved most at making key 3rd and 4th down stops. MTSU certainly would get their yards, but they'd usually come up short. Team Stats Stat Troy Middle Tenn State Final Score 38 14 First Downs 19 18 Total Offense 418 364 Rushing Yards 139 106 Rushing TDs 3 1 Passing Yards 279 258 Passing TDs 2 1 3rd Down % 10-14 4-8 4th Down % 2-2 0-3 Turnovers 0 1 PR Yards 13 16 KR Yards 42 183 Total Yards 473 563 That nice big fat goose egg for them on 4th down including a 3-play goal line stand. After the 2nd 4th down stop at the 25 yard line, Jamarius Henderson spun out of an arm tackle and was able to cut it outside and take it to the house, I think this may have been his first long run of the year? Not entirely sure. But two plays later on their next possession, I got the pick, they completely fell apart at this point late in the 3rd quarter. I did have uncharacteristically few first downs this game on the offensive side of the ball, but that's not to say the offense was ineffective. Mendoza while he didn't throw any picks this time thankfully is still taking sacks sometimes from just holding on to the ball for far too long, but he had a great performance still.

Swapped out the WR I had for JJ Jones, Jones is a bit faster, and LSU started going all in on the other guy, don't think I could beat them out for him in the long haul. Unfortunately the visit timing for Christ Hunt might not pan out don't know if I'll be able to hang in the race even if I could beat them out in the long haul especially with an upgrade I'll be getting in a week or so to give up to 600 points per recruit.

Fl0nkerton Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hope its cool, if I ask questions in here. Don't want to de-rail the thread. OK so I started a dynasty with UAB, obviously we're pretty garbage. Started off 0-4, rebounded a bit to 4-6. When it comes to recruits, are you just supposed to throw your points at the players you want? Being a small s***ty school I'm not getting a lot of love obviously. Should I be using a different strategy other than throwing points and upgrading the recruitment part of the head coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
