I saw he's been throwing that rock, 22-40 in the air. Robinson had some nice stats on the ground (19-88). I like numbers like that. To me, that means you're getting in a lot of quality reps and that's what you want to do in playing miniature football.
Great recap and look forward to MANY, MANY, more Ed!

Thanks Reg ... long way to go on this project, no doubt. Getting a good number of runs and passes off for each team and getting a lot of snaps in. Still working on getting the overall time of game play down to a manageable amount, but I usually play games over about a 2-3 day period, so it's not like I'm trying to get everything done in one sitting.
Only adjustment I think I'm going to make after Week 1 is to give the fullbacks TTCs instead of rookie bases to try and open up the running game a little bit. For 1-back offenses, I'll allow the QB to run into the line to block, since there's no fullback.
Other than the rushing (NCAA averages less than 2 yards per carry so far), I think everything else is pretty much on point. The system as I play it, especially on pass completions, is really stressing the importance of safety and linebacker play, away from the scrum at the line of scrimmage.
Very curious to get through Week 1 of the college season to see how everything shakes out. Definitely the preliminary rankings of the teams I've seen so far is:
1. Florida
2. Purdue
3. Nebraska
4. Texas
Michigan and Kentucky take the field next.
