WEEK ONE

RECRUITING

It becomes immediately obvious to me that this is going to be a different sort of TCY career than I'm used to playing. Typically, I take an SC8 school or a bad situation such as Kentucky and build them up to national prominence. This is a situation where I have a team that can be a winner with just a little improvement. However, the academic situation is not very good. Usually, I spend a few years recruiting 1200+ SAT guys only and not worrying about winning. I've decided that, for now at least, I'm going to try to improve the team immediately, even if it means recruiting not-so-bright guys. If this doesn't work out, I can fall back in three or four seasons and start pumping up the academics.



At any rate, in Week One, I mainly look at QB's. Immediately it looks like this is going to be a tough year for us in that area. It appears from the start that it is going to be important to keep at least one of my Junior QB's red-shirted all year long, because I doubt whoever I land in this class is going to be helpful. At this point, the most-likely candidate for signing appears to be QB Kendall Durham, the #35 QB in the land. He's a Prest*/Dist guy out of Baltimore, rated 72- with a Lousy atttitude. Yeah, he's my best option. :( I also draw a bead on a CB and RB this week.



GAME

None.

WEEK TWO

RECRUITING

I go ahead and offer QB Kendall Durham a scholly this week. I spend all my visit budget this week on in-state talent rated >60, and make offers to in-state guys at TE, DE, DT, OLB and CB. Then, I make phone calls to some top-tier players. As far as detail in recruiting reporting goes, I think I'll do this, and see how it feels: I'll report detailed as-we-go information about QB's, and about any players in the Top 10 of their position. Others will just get mentioned by position until they actually sign. With that in mind, I make offers to the following top-of-the-line players:



WR Alex Gotchy--This kid outta Memphis is the #2 WR in the nation, #18 overall. He's a Prst/Acad guy, also being recruited by UT, and the Vols are just slightly better at each than us.

G Charles Jack--He's a Prest/Acad from Massachusetts, and so far only Maryland is after him, and our Prestige trumps theirs.

RB Buddy Coy--The #3 RB in the nation is from Norfolk. Right now we're battling UGA and VT for him.



GAME

We're a 15-point favorite at home against Utah State this week, and we easily cover the spread with a 34-3 drubbing. Artie Gaylor was good, albeit a bit inconsistent: 21 for 33 for 295 yards, with 2 TD's and 3 INT's. The running game struggled, though, netting only 70 yards on 33 carries. Gaylor did show some promise as a runner, as expected. Discounting his four times being sacked, he rushed 5 times for 30 yards. Unfortunately, it has been a while since I played TCY, and I forgot to set our formation to I as I had planned, so we're in the Wing-T for this season. Other key stats:



Kyle Moln caught 7 passes for 96 yards

DT K.C. Maxfield had a strong day: 5 tackles, 3 assists, 1.5 sacks. He was named P.O.G.

MLB Donovan Bradshad had 8 tackles, one for a loss

DE Stanley Knaack showed a real "knack" (sorry) for getting into the backfield: 3 tackles for losses, .5 sacks.


NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK THREE

RECRUITING

I now have an offer at every position I watn to sign this year: QB, RB, TE, WR, G, T, T, DE, DT, OLB, CB, S. I'll also be going after walk-ons at C, Pk, K, and S later on. Here's an update on the top-tier players:

OUR GAME: #34 Ol' Miss (1-0) at #12 Alabama (1-0) (-6) (TV5)

After sputtering in the opener, the offense opens up a can in this one, dismantling the Rebs 40-10 in front of 83,800 rabid 'Bama fans. Gaylor looks very good: 21 for 28, 284 yards, 3 TD's, 0 INT's, and Urbina and DeMeester combine for 16 carries for 91 yards and 2 TD's. Other key stats...



Antonio Barton catches 5 passes for 105 yards and 2 TD's.

FB Rex Ellis provides a nice safety valve: 6 catches for 51 yards.

MLB Bradshaw registers 5 tackles, 2 assists and a sack.

We had 398 yards of offense on the day, and 26 first downs.


NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

DT K.C. Maxfield suffers a torn knee ligament, and is listed as Out (17wks). We un-redshirt Rusty Shapiro, and start soph. Ty Bruton..

WEEK FOUR

This week finds the SEC dominating the Polls. In the overall BCS one, LSU is #1, Florida is #2, we are #8, Arkansas is 13th, UGA is 18th, and UT is 23rd. Auburn is rather inexplicably ranked at #34, but looking at their roster, they'll move up before the year is over.



RECRUITING

Not much to report yet. Still doing strategic calls and visits. As far as news on the top guys...

OUR GAME: Ewa Beach (0-2) at #11 Alabama (2-0)

I guess I forgot to mention that I put the SC8 out in Hawaii, and our first encounter with them proves to be a laugher: 77-21. What's funny is that we actually trailed in this one for a few minutes. Teddy Treadway ran back our opening kickoff 102 yards to give Ewa Beach a 7-0 lead. ;) The big ol' eye-poppin' key numbers...



We had 672 yards of offense. :eek:

Urbina and DeMeester had a combined 20 carries for 204 yards.

Discounting sacks, Gaylor rushed 11 times for 43 yards and a TD to go along with his 20 for 26 for 373 yards and 4 TD's passing.

Four different receivers caught the four TD passes.

We only punted once all day long.


NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

We lose WR Kyle Moln for around 11 weeks due to a broken jaw. We remove Butch Beyer's redshirt tag in response.

WEEK FIVE

Me move up to #2 in the rankings--a place I'm not sure we deserve, having not really been tested yet. We travel to #18 Arkansas this week, though, which should provide us with at least something of a gauge of where we are. LSU remains #1, UGA is #6, UT is #8



RECRUITING

A couple of the in-state guys come to visit this week, and I feel pretty confident about landing them (TE and CB). Of the three marquee guys, only G Charles Jack looks like he might have a realistic chance of coming to 'Bama at this point.

OK, so maybe we're WORSE than I thought. ;) The Gamecocks come to town and humble us. this one wasn't as close as the 33-31 USC score would indicate. We scored 10 points in the last 5 minutes of the game to make a 2-touchdown game look close, but the realty is that USC moved the ball at will. RB Sam Van Der Linden carried 26 times for 160 yards and 2 TD's, and QB Joseph Wasczewski was 14 for 19 for 258 yards with 1 TD and 0 INT's for Carolina. Gaylor was held to 154 yards on 13 for 23 passing as well. Just a tough day all around.

MARQUEE GAMES/MAJOR UPSETS AROUND THE NATION

SEC ACTION

UT 48, Ol' Miss 22

UGA 38, Vandy 3

USC 59, Kentucky 14

Auburn 52, Arkansas 33



OUR GAME: Southern Mississippi (3-2) at #14 Alabama (5-1) (-12)

We defeat the outmanned Golden Eagles by a 38-10 count despite Urbina getting held to 41 yards on 14 carries. DeMeester had 11 for 67, and Gaylor was 16 for 26 for 228 yards with 2 TD's and 2 INT's, more than making up for Urbina, though.



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK NINE



RECRUITING

T Monty Givens finally gets an offer from UGA. I withdraw mine and look elsewhere. None of the guys on my visit list sign anywhere yet.



SEC ACTION

Georgia 53, Arkansas 17

Florida 34, Mississippi State 7

Auburn 38, Kentucky 21

Vandy 41, La-Monroe 0

LSU 56, Troy State 3



OUR GAME: #12 Alabama (6-1) (-1) at #10 Tennessee (5-1)

We get humbled on the banks of the Tennessee River, 41-3. We go to bed afterward with "Rocky Top" ringing in our ears. The Vols become the first team to truly exploit our defensive weakness--the secondary. They rush 32 times for 39 yards, but throw for 313 while holding Gaylor to--get this--2 for 22 for 26 yards and 1 INT on the day. :eek: We only managed 156 total yards and 7 first downs. Wow.



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK TEN



RECRUITING

Well, we land a few guys despite last week's debacle, but also lose one who I thought was a shoo-in. QB Kendall Durham, WR Brady Woods (a bit of a surprise, I guess he figured we could use the help against UT in the future) and CB Dominic Caldwell all decide to become Red Elephants. However, TE Teddy Rodgers picks MTSU over us. Heck, I guess MTSU looks more likely to beat UT that we do at this point. ;)



SEC ACTION

Georgia 14, Florida 11

UT 26, USC 24

Auburn 33, Ol' Miss 15

Mississippi State 29, Kentucky 14

LSU 55, Vandy 7



OUR GAME: OFF

We rest this week and prepare to take out our misery on Mississippi State before closing with LSU and Auburn.



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK ELEVEN



RECRUITING

DE Dana Gillespie from Bayou La Batre decides to roll with the Tide, but TE Teddy Rodgers decides to head to MTSU.



SEC ACTION

USC 38, Arkansas 0

Florida 48, Vandy 0

UGA 52, Kentucky 10

Tennessee 42, Notre Dame 14

Auburn 28, Kailua 10



OUR GAME: Mississippi State (2-5) at #19 Alabama (6-2) (-25)

As expected, we destroy the Bulldogs. When the dust cleared, the scoreboard read 52-10 in our favor. Urbina and DeMeester combine for 21 carries, 131 yards, and 1 TD, and Gaylor bounces back to the tune of 19 for 25 for 298 yards with 3 TD's and 0 INT's. Our punter never sees the field in the first half, and we pile up 579 yards and 31 first downs on the day.



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK TWELVE



RECRUITING

RB Norbert Mull shuns us for Wake Forest.



SEC ACTION

UGA 56, Auburn 14

Florida 51, USC 21

Kentucky 13, Vandy 10

Arkansas 21, Ol' Miss 17



OUR GAME: #18 Alabama (7-2) at #16 LSU (6-2) (-4)

The BYU Bengals show the nation that our big loss to UT was no fluke. We again get humiliated at the hands of a top-tier SEC team, this time 55-7. Three Tiger QB's combined for 410 yards passing, 4 TD's, and 0 INT's. Ouch!



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK THIRTEEN



RECRUITING

No surprise in that DT Brett Williford from Lanett decides to join the team next year.



SEC ACTION

Clemson 31, USC 24

Florida 30, FSU 7

Tennessee 42, Vandy 0

LSU 45, Ol' Miss 3

Arkansas 45, Mississippi St. 17



OUR GAME: #35 Auburn (6-4) at #25 Alabama (7-3) (-12)

We post a big win in the Iron Bowl, our rivalry game, defeating the War Chickens 34-7. Gaylor throws for 280 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT, and the two-headed monster rushes 32 times for 134 yards and 2 TD's. The win solidifies our finish as 2nd in the SEC West, and pretty much assures us of a Bowl Bid.



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK FOURTEEN



RECRUITING

I sign my 2nd choice at TE--a guy from 'way up in Alaska--Jonathan Armstrong. I also sign a G, T and S, but still no RB. At this point, I decide to simply go for a smart walk-on RB, since I have two decent frosh being red-shirted.



SEC ACTION

UGA 45, Tech 24

LSU 26, Arkansas 10

UT 61, Kentucky 14

Ol' Miss 31, Mississippi State 12



OUR GAME: OFF



NEW INJURIES OF SIGNIFICANCE

None.

WEEK FIFTEEN



RECRUITING

My induced walk-ons all sign this week, rounding out the class at 16 players.



SEC ACTION

The #1 Dawgs CRUSH LSU 46-10 in the SEC Championship game. QB Eric Daft throws for 375 yards. Looking over UGA's roster, there are several potential Falcons on it, including Daft, a 94/94 Junior out of Powder Springs. On the whole, UGA has 6 Seniors rated >85.



OUR GAME: OFF

We get an invite to play in the Seattle Bowl (#4SEC vs. #6 ACC) against NC State.

NATIONAL AWARDS

Kentucky won none.

Georgia QB Eric Daft was named top offensive player, and was runner-up by one point for the Heisman. I can't wait for him to turn pro. He was also, of course, first team All American.



The SEC boasted several 2nd-Team All Americans:

TE J.C. Autry--Florida--So.

WR Steven Stone--UGA--Sr.

G Wal McConnell--USC--Sr. (one more year left)

P Terry Robbins--LSU--Sr.

DE Junior Horn--UGA--Jr

OLB Earnest Mathews--LSU--Sr.

CB Malcolm Durham--UT--Sr.



PROFESSOR LAERTES' RATINGS

Team Performance: 77

Academic Performance: 26

Recruiting Performance: 16

Television Revenue: 84

Alumni Donations: 81

Attendance/Stadium: 90



We've got some good players returning, and one of the better recruiting classes for the conference. Things look pretty good so far. As far as the Falcons go, I couldn't be happier. There should be plenty of SEC talent to pluck from in the 2005 Draft. :)
