To start, I gave us a 95 on defense, and a 78 on offense. I think this is fair given what we know. I also edited other teams based on their performance in both their spring game and last season. This took a LONG time. But my work vacation allowed it.

Should also note that i swapped QBs depending on their performance. I started Brennan against miami. I was not in control. Purely NPC.

LSU vs Miami : A very very defensive battle. Devin White recorded 5 sacks. Brennan threw for 125 yards, 1 TD and 3 Ints. At halftime it was 7-3 LSU. Miami would break a 55 yard TD run to make it 10-7 late in the fourth. LSU tied it up with a FG and in overtime we made it 13-10 and intercepted miamis final drive. Win.

LSU vs SE LA : I altered an FCS school to be slightly better than its original stats. Brennan threw for 238 yards, 2TDs and 1 int. Stable of backs had a phenomenal game. 560 total yards to win 42-3.

LSU vs Auburn : I took Brennan out at halftime. He was at 47 yards passing, with 2 interceptions. We were losing 21-7. CEH was the only notable offense with 69 yards rushing and a TD. Mcmillan would step in and throw a respectable 124 yards and 1 TD. We went on to lose 24-14. Lots of drops. Loss.

LSU vs LA tech : Mcmillan was brilliant. 279 yards passing, 78 yards rushing. 4 tds..two of which were on the ground. Great game. 38-10. Win.

LSU vs Ole Miss: Mcmillan was injured on the first play. A sack that broke some ribs. Rather than play Brennan (who was being an interception machine) I put narcisse in. He thre for 137 yards passing (9/27) and an ungodly 139 yards rushing. All 3 of his TDs were red zone scrambles. Baby fournette recorded a TD as well. 45-21. Win.

LSU vs Florida : the field goal battle of the century. Both teams were absolutely halted on offense. QB and RB stats were abysmal. We went on to win 12-9. Every single point came from field goals. We booted a 49 yarder to seal the deal. Will note we are ranked 14th and Florida was 21.

LSU vs Georgia : I think death valley gave a nice edge to this game as Georgias receivers didnt know where the hell they were going it seemed. Narcisse threw for 229 yards, 40 rushing and 3 TDs. We couldnt run. Our total was about 80 yards rushing. Superb defensive heroics won us the game. 21-17. Win.

LSU vs Miss State: Ill start by saying this game made me incredibly mad. Almost like a real arse game . To start, they were running it down our throats. Halftime was 17-0 State. We didnt score until the 4th and its because CEH went OFF. 126 RUSH YARDS IN THAT QUARTER ALONE. 2 tds. We lost 17-14. State had lost 2 games prior and was unranked. We dropped to 22nd.

LSU vs Alabama: Alabama is undefeated and #2 behind Notre Dame who was doing unreasonably well. Regardless. None of our QBs could throw. CEH was the offense and rushed for 94 yards and a score. We lost 16-7. Narcisse was sacked for a safety late.

LSU vs Arkansas : Defense was lights out. Ive had Narcisse in since the injury and he played well. 334 yards with an additional 35 on the ground. 34-0. Yes. We shut them out. I enjoyed this game. Note that our kicker is perfect on the season.

LSU vs Rice: Easy game. I let Brennan try to redeem himself and he put up 300. Solid outing against inferior competition. 37-12. Win.

LSU vs A&M: Ill admit I raised both teams stats slightly to add some pizzaz to what would otherwise be a borefest. It paid off. In the 4th it was 24-24. We were backed up to our 3 with 1:49 left. 2 timeouts. Narcisse handed off the CEH and he took it to the house. We won 31-24 because A&M couldnt seal the deal.

We end the season 9-3 and ranked 18th. Alabama is going to the natty against ND who both stayed undefeated. Georgia took the east (a team we beat). They were run out of town by Bama.

We got a citrus bid against Clemson.

LSU vs Clemson: This was odd. I bumped both us and Clemson up on offense to sort of simulate the bowl practices. In the 4th we were up 24-3. Clemson had some late game heroics to bring it to a tie. We would win on the weirdest pick 6 ever. I was almost tempted to restart the game . But frick that. 10 wins is 10 wins.

Overall, pretty decent. I made it as realistic as humanly possible. Hope you all enjoyed.

I usually just get drunk and play golf on my vacations, but thanks for the breakdown.

No judgment, but how approximately how many hours did this take you?

You must have been drunk when you wrote this. For one thing, Brennan is not going to throw 3 interceptions in a game. He would 100% get yanked after the second one, if not after the first one.

That game was the shite. EA needs to bring it back and the NCAA should let the players get a cut this time

The long part was setting up stats. About two hours. I walked away from the tv for most of the games, especially the blowouts and only picked up stats afterwards.

My girlfriend is at work and im caught up on yardwork besides taking care of fricking carpenter bees chewing up my pool area..so i got bored and did it.

I didnt sim them because I wanted to see the cool parts.

Coming from someone who has done some similar simulation set ups.. Blackfire is doing the lord's work over there. You could have just sat around jerked off but you put this gem together, and for that, we thank you.
