I wonder why Miami isn't gonna try John Beck at QB. He's pretty old for a rookie (26) so I would think they would want to get him out on the field sooner rather than later. Miami's season is pretty much lost anyways and he probably wouldn't do any worse than Cleo Lemon will do.
I finally got around to playing it after fixing my 360 issue. Pretty much the same sentiments as everyone else. I did also feel like the enemies were easier, even for normal (gonna attempt legendary soon). Haven't got around to multi-player yet but I'm looking forward to it.
You know, I remember 2 years ago when Miami and Florida St. faced off in the opening game and Kyle Wright and Drew Weatherford (sophomores at the time) were supposed to have promising careers. Fast forward to 2 years later, and it's a constant shuffle at QB for both teams (like tonight with FSU). Part of the reason why these teams aren't what they used to be.
I guess Carr's questionable or whatever.
They do have Matt Moore (you know, the guy who helped Oregon St. beat USC last year). It would be fun to see Vinny throw a TD so he can extend that awesome streak of most consecutive seasons with at least 1 TD pass.

Tiebreak #1: How many total points will be scored in the Missouri/Oklahoma game? 51
Tiebreak #2: How many passing yards will Kentucky's Andre Woodson have against LSU? 198
Yeah it is sad to see what happened to Strong. He's one of the last of a dying breed at fullback (Tony Richardson, Cory Schlesinger, and William Henderson among some of the others who are at or near the end). Lorenzo Neal's one of the few still going strong.
Up 31 points in my FF matchup, my opponent had Crayton, Witten, and Folk and somehow managed to get enough points to beat me.
Other than that, this was a great game.
Andre Woodson anyone?
And speaking of the NFC South, the Saints are gonna have a hard time winning in Seattle next week. Pretty soon the paper bags are gonna come back. I guess Tampa's got the inside track to the division; it's hard for me to envision David Carr or Joey Harrington leading their teams to the top.
And the Pats cover...barely
EDIT: On another note, is the Lions secondary the worst in NFL history? They're allowing opossing QB's to complete 70% of their passes.
Bowl teams don't play division 2 teams. I mean I'm sure they could, (not specific on the rules) but they don't.
Stanford lost to UC-Davis in '05. They're 1-AA now but were D-2 at the time.
Well...I tried.
Well even I knew Michigan was capable of pulling a stunt like losing to App. St. USC on the other hand, has been pretty much unbeatable at home during the Carroll era. Plus Stanford is...Stanford (didn't they lose to a D-2 team last year?).
