UCLA over Michigan St. 28-21. Another tight game that came down to the wire. My defensive tackle Ellis McCarthy played amazing in this game. I think this may be the best defensive line I've played with. Myles Jack is great at setting the edge while Jamal Barnes seems to be pretty good at being a Hybrid OLB/Defensive End. Ellis McCarthy seems to be pretty good in his Under Tackle role as well.

Welp! I was hoping you could beat him and slightly improve my chances of winning the division.

I'll put you on AP right now. Hope things turn around for you soon!

USC over PSU 37-14. I really wanted to keep my foot on the accelerator and keep hitting Lee over the top since your safety didn't think your corner needed any help. Time of possession was like 19 minutes to 4.

woahhhhhh I just stole a game.

Dubious thoroughly dominates the first half and its 27-10 Wisco at halftime. In my first drive of the 2nd half I throw a INT in the red zone and say to myself, "OK, after Dubious scores here I'll just turn on kill clock, run up the gut and concede".

Well my defense comes alive and the next thing I know I score 21 unanswered and its 31-27 Northwestern with one minute left. Of course, my prevent defense is awful and Dub drives down the field and throws a TD with :22 left. I return the kickoff to midfield and on the next play throw a flag route and Dub misses a tackle along the sidelines and my WR takes off for a TD with :08 left. A squib and batted down Hail Mary later I've come back to win from a 3-score 2nd half deficit and my dreams of a B1G title game appearance are still alive.

Holy poo poo. Great game, Dubious. You will get me back in the Madden league very soon.

edit - Hah I hadn't even noticed my favorite DE's first name is Taco. Taco racked up 5 tackles, 5 TFL, 5 sacks, a FF, and a FR last week. TACO!

Yea that iteration was a dramatic change in gameplay, and it was horrible timing for me. I'm undecided on if I'll get the next version or not.

Anyway, see you tonight at 8pm CT?

#1 Michigan over Penn St, 41-28.

First half was a bit of a shoot-out, closing out 24-21 Michigan off of a Michigan TD with 4 seconds left in the half.

Second half things went a little south for Penn St, with a 78 yard INT-TD by CB Countess on the first drive. (none of my highlights saved for some reason, this was a pretty crazy return though) The rest of the game was me working the clock, and the final Penn St drive was ended with another interception to end the game.

Hayes was the real difference maker here, rushing for 218 yards and 2 TD. Without him I'm sure I'd have ended up making a mistake with my QB.

GG Wreckus!
