Game Notes
The key for Western in this game will be their ability to run the ball against ASU's rush defense. They should be able to pass the ball with some efficiency. WKU needs to step it up on the defensive end of the ball, they are 117th in Div. 1 in terms of defense allowed. ASU should be able to move the ball very easily. Prediction: 31-14 ASU

Defense, rushing woes continue for WKU 
04:20 PM - October 19, 2011. Written by the_serz88
BATON ROUGE, LA (AP)- An off week seemed to be just what the Hilltoppers needed after coming off an embarrassing 34-22 loss to Navy two weeks ago. It sure looked that way within the first few minutes of their game Saturday against LSU when they scored the opening touchdown and took a 7-0 lead. This would be the only moment of glory for the day, however, as LSU put a cajun-style whooping on the Hilltoppers, downing them 58-14 and sending them home with a 1-3 record before this Saturday's game versus Sun-Belt Conference opponent Arkansas State (2-1).

Navy 'tops' Hilltoppers 
04:03 PM - October 19, 2011. Written by the_serz88
BOWLING GREEN, KY (AP)- It took a while for Western Kentucky to wake up for their game Saturday. And by the time they did, it was too late. Navy busted out 263 yards on the ground and led a seemingly sleeping Hilltoppers team 24-3 at halftime. The defense would eventually emerge in the second half, holding Navy to only 10 points while the offense began rolling, but it was not enough to overcome such a deep deficit. Navy would go scoreless in the 4th quarter while giving up 12 points to WKU, but still ended up winning 34-22. This loss drops Western to 1-2 on the year.

Kentucky barely escapes interstate rival WKU 
03:52 PM - October 19, 2011. Written by the_serz88
LEXINGTON, KY (AP)- The Kentucky Wildcats dodged a bullet in non-conference play this weekend, barely sneaking by upset-minded Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers held a 14-10 lead at halftime but could not overcome the dismal play of their two quarterbacks in the game. Kentucky was able to capitalize on this by outscoring Western 14-3 in the 4th quarter to win 24-17.

Game Notes
NOTRE DAME

-The Irish defense struggled last year. They lost a lot of starters and are very young now. They will be going up against Andrew Luck's replacement Brett Nottingham.

-Andrew Hendrix is the starting quarterback with a new weapon at wide receiver in freshman Louis McNeil. Look for them to build a chemistry.

-George Atkinson takes over at running back and many believe he could be better than Cierre Wood.

STANFORD

-The Brett Nottingham era begins. Hes watched Andrew Luck for two years and the Cardinal is hoping that it payed off.

-Stanford brings back Stephan Taylor at running back. He seems to be the first option on offense. Run then pass.

-The defense is led by Linebacker Chase Thomas. They will need a big year from him.

11:09 AM - October 18, 2011. Written by MVPdrose1


Preseason Poll

The preseason polls were released today with a few surprises. Many were surprised that the Stanford Cardinal are #2 after losing Andrew Luck to the NFL Draft. Luck will be replaced by junior Brett Nottingham. The Cardinal open up against #9 Notre Dame in South Bend. We will find out right off the bat if Nottingham can back up their high ranking. In a similar situation, Boise State will begin a new era without their program's greatest quarterback Kellen Moore. Boise is ranked #10. Houston reached the National Championship last year by the draw of the BCS system and beat Boise State. Houston was not as lucky this year while they were ranked #25. As it goes for Notre Dame, they play four teams in the top 25 preseason poll; #2 Stanford, #15 Michigan, #16 Michigan State, and #20 USC.

Irish Spring Report 2012
Irish enter preseason ranked #9

Brian Kelly put together a successful second season as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football coach. He managed to put together a 10-2 regular season and then beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. This year they enter the preseason ranked #9. Kelly and the Irish lost a lot of starters in the off season. To make up for it, Kelly put together the 14th ranked recruiting class in the country. Here is a look at Kelly's class.

OFFENSE PREVIEW

The quarterback spot was a problem for the Irish until Andrew Hendrix took over as the starter. Hendrix looks to be the future entering his junior year. This caused Tommy Rees to take his talents elsewhere. Rees decided to transfer to UConn. Cierre Wood went on to the NFL Draft and it looks as if George Atkinson will be the starter at running back. Atkinson will be backed up by sophomore Cameron Roberson and speedy freshman Brett Davis.


After plenty of success returning kicks, George Atkinson will be the primary ball carrier.

Michael Floyd graduated and also went on to the NFL Draft. Returning at wide receiver are Theo Riddick, TJ Jones, Robby Toma, and Davaris Daniels. Coming in as freshman are Louis McNeil and Travis Horner. Both are big 6'4" receivers who can aslo fly. McNeil looks to make an impact right away and maybe crack the starting lineup. Tyler Eifert is back for his senior year and will start at tight end.


Andrew Hendrix maturation will be key to Notre Dame's success.

DEFENSE PREVIEW

The defense is going to have to fill a lot of holes. Here are the starters they lost.
  • FS Harrison Smith
  • CB Gary Gray
  • CB Robert Blanton
  • LB Darius Fleming
  • DE Ethan Johnson
  • DE Kapron Lewis Moore
  • DT Sean Cwynar

Aaron Lynch is primed to have a huge year.

As a freshman in limited playing time, Aaron Lynch recorded 9.5 sacks. He will be leading a young d-line. Manti Te'o returns for his senior year as arguably the nation's best linebacker. Zeke Motta will start at strong safety and free safety is still a question mark with a sophomore and two freshman competing for the job. Lo Wood will start at corner with junior Joe Romano on the other side.


Reigning "Lineback of The Year" Manti Te'o is returning for his senior year.

Delay In Starting Franchise 
08:50 PM - October 17, 2011. Written by Keystone CK
As you may have heard if you have been reading the Madden forums, there is a problem with UDFA (Undrafted Free Agents). Computer controlled teams are cutting their 1st and 2nd round picks to keep these very low rated players on their team. Well until this gets patched up I really don't feel like starting my franchise and dealing with this problem. So until then there will be a delay on me posting anything about my franchise. Sorry about the inconvenience.
