Tulsa @ South Carolina

The difference in team skill definitely reared its head in this one. Usually I can overcome it, but in this game, I didn't.

Offense: Mainly ran out of Shotgun...with the HB Counters, or QB Read Option. I don't understand how the players act so stupid on the play, but it is what it is. When passing, usually went down the middle of the field. Had a few good passes, that were easy throws to make, and led to TD's. Has a freshman QB, that's pretty darn fast, that he puts out there for the option style of run.

Defense: 3-3-5 base. Came out in almost exclusively cover 3, and controlled the FS. If you time it well enough, you can hit him down the seams on streaks. Has a RE, Clowney, who is of course an absolute stud. Defense isn't 'wonderful', but they have some play makers.

ST's: Nothing of note

Supremely talented squad, that will likely get to the NC title game. Will be interested to see how these guys fare if Cole is to make it all the way to the NC game, considering he has by far the best team in this Dynasty right now. GG, and good luck the rest of the way.

GG Stokes.

Best of luck to you as well.

Played a weird game against blade last nite... Hope he recorded it. He apparently got pissed @ me because I took knees at the end to try and run out as much clock as I can. That has to be the first time Ive EVER had someone get mad at me for taking a knee... Needless to say the game went into overtime and I won it in the end almost blowing a 28-0 lead in the 4th qtr.

I won't lie, I was wondering what happened. But yes, team talent can often overcome. It reared its ugly game for me vs Cole. It was like he built an SEC team.

How much time was left when you started running clock? We have a rule that u can only do it with 2 minutes left unless other person agrees!!

No rules were broken

Let's not forget if the light comes on Cole is a monster. Lot of games I've given away it's all a learning curve. Of course having a good team helps but I sacrificed to have this team now by playing with a bunch of freshmen and redshirting everybody, but I'm getting better as a user. I'm playing the run better but most importantly I'm covering better. Once I'm good at user controlling a linebacker or safety everything else will fall in place. Now all that talk was about defense. Offense I suck. I have no strategy, no money plays, no man beaters, no zone beaters. I'm completely free styling.
