2013 NCAA Football Thread

I absolutely can NOT stand Manziel. As a human being, he is lacking. I don't know how well he will do in the NFL. I can throw out there that a large chunk of the Heisman winning quarterbacks haven't done well at all. Carson Palmer, Matt Leinhart, Tim Tebow. I don't know. It seems like the players that are successful in the NFL, kind of flew under the radar in college.

 

Jason White, Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Troy Smith, Gino Toretta....

 

A.J. McCarron..........





























































lolz

 

Don't lie Roll Tide, you were going to give me sh&@ about our QB......

 

Any one seen this?
Bammer starting center out with ACL? Sounds fishy...

If it were me, I'd show the D what all the Techies are saying on Stingtalk and to not let GT get away with a win. I know it's not the players saying it, but it fires me up anyway...

 

It's caught up with him with all of the picks he's thrown recently.

Injuries are fishy?

 

Northern Illinois University's quarterback has run for over 300 yards in a game twice this season and had 5 other games where he ran for over 100 yards.

Hopefully Damian Williams can do something like that against Ole Miss.

 

He also did this...

Hopefully Damian Williams can do some of that too.

 

Who's ready for some iron bowl?!?!

 

Meeeee! WDE! I'll be pulling for Michigan that day as well!

This might be it.
With the regular season coming to a close, and with EA’s NCAA Football franchise taking a hiatus for the foreseeable future, this will likely be the final regular-season simulation.
We’ll be back for conference championship week and the bowl season, of course, but Week 14 marks the beginning of the end. Given the slate of games on tap, this is a fitting way to go out.
For those stopping by for the first time, here’s the rundown: Using NCAA Football 14, all games from the college football weekend are simulated. These results are not doctored with in any way, and they are reported here.
Last weekend, the world’s greatest video game went 4-1 in spotlight games headlined with the prediction of an Oklahoma State victory. This weekend, it plans to top such efforts, and it’s convinced that some of the weekend’s biggest games won’t be close at all.
Let's get to it.

Updated Record Through Week 13: 41-25



Texas A&M 34, Missouri 27

The Texas A&M Aggies are outgained in total yards, but a Johnny Manziel touchdown with just over a minute left proves to be the game-winner.
Manziel is "Manziel-ish," throwing for 278 yards, rushing for 83 more and finishing with four total touchdowns. Wideout Mike Evans catches seven balls for 86 yards and two scores.
Missouri quarterback James Franklin can’t match Manziel, but he has a terrific game. Franklin throws for 278 yards and accounts for all three Missouri Tiger touchdowns. Running back Henry Josey adds 78 yards on the ground on all 15 carries.
And with that, South Carolina will play in the SEC Championship. Steve Spurrier will respond by sending Kevin Sumlin one dozen Titleist Pro V1s "Ol' Ball Coach" written on each. (They're from his basement and out of his "putting" stash, but he doesn't need to know that.)



UCLA 27, USC 19

UCLA totals 481 yards of offense, and the USC Trojans simply cannot match the production.
Brett Hundley has a monster game for the Bruins, throwing for 301 yards, rushing for 66 and adding three scores. Linebacker Anthony Barr is also a monster, finishing with 2.5 sacks, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble.
Cody Kessler isn’t great, but he’s not terrible either. Kessler completes only 16 of 35 throws, but he does add 221 yards and a score. USC running backs finish with 155 yards on 35 carries.
Regardless of the loss, Ed Orgeron is given a 20-year contract immediately following the game. Do it, Pat Haden. For USC and for America.



Ohio State 31, Michigan 3

A game many predicted to be a blowout…turns out to be a blowout. Michigan finishes with just 220 yards of offense, and the Buckeyes cruise.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller turns it over twice, but he also adds 226 yards passing, 96 yards rushing and three scores. Running back Carlos Hyde runs for 97 yards on 16 carries.
Devin Gardner does not deliver nearly the same production in the loss. The Michigan QB completes just eight passes for 98 yards and an interception. Gardner does add 77 yards rushing, although the running backs add very little to the stat sheet.
Oh no, that Michigan message board is on fire. And so is that one. And so is that one. Save yourself.



South Carolina 31, Clemson 9



Streeter Lecka/Getty Images

The South Carolina Gamecocks finish with 489 yards of offense, and the

defense completely shuts down Clemson from doing anything at all.
Connor Shaw is solid at quarterback, throwing for 289 yards and two scores. He also adds 64 yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground. Human bowling ball Mike Davis also gets in on the action, rushing for 72 yards on just 15 carries.
Tajh Boyd does not have his best game, completing 18 of 35 throws for 218 yards and an interception. Wideout Sammy Watkins is his primary target—shocking I know—and Watkins hauls in eight catches for 110 yards.
And thus the best day for Steve Spurrier since "the last time I played Augusta" ends on a high note. And he shot a 84 that day with two late double bogeys, so this probably gets the edge.

 

This guy!!!!!

 

Not sure that's a good idea. I mean to have the D all pissed off/riled up. We need to play disciplined on D, particularly against the option. I feel like that is our problem on D already, guys not staying on their assignments trying to make a play rather than being in position if the play comes to them.

I like the idea, just don't want them running wild trying to lay someone out and get out of position. But then again could our D get any worse?

Speaking of D, after listening to part of the radio call in show with CMR I don't think Grantham will go anywhere this year. Richt said something along the lines of we have great coaches and our D is young and players grow up a lot from their first year. Based on everything he said I don't see him firing Grantham. Unless he's just talking the good game until the time comes anyway. But it sounds to me like he'll get another year to let the players mature.

 

I actually like Jameis. I hope this off the field stuff gets cleared up. He reminds me of Cam Newton. Size, speed, and a cannon for an arm. Cam Newton will be ok in the NFL. I like Jameis' leadership style. I like how he expects much from his team mates and himself. I like how he keeps it loose, and completely plans to dominate. Its almost as if he has single handedly made the team play to a higher level...much like Michael Jordan. That is the impression I get from him. I have said for the last two years, that FSU would come on strong.

 

I told everybody before the season started that jameis was goin to b great like u said his leadership is uncanny u wouldn't know he was a freshman by watching him play and speak

 

I could not have said it better myself.......
