Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 5

in the video game world, Auburn's new spread offense continues to be a lot more fun and a lot more watchable. if only reality were like this...

So Auburn takes on Tennessee at home in Week 5 of my Dynasty season. unlike the real Tennessee, the video game version is ranked with only 1 loss to Florida. they've got a pretty dominated running game and a solid defense....or at least they were till they ran into the motherfucking Buzzsaw That Is My Virtual Auburn Tigers.

this one got ugly quick. as Auburn jumped out to a 21 to 0 lead in the first quarter. Tennessee was able to briefly get back into the game and make it 21-14 but that was as close as it ever got and Auburn rolled on to a 42-24 victory.

despite giving up 24 points, my defense was still as dominate as ever. getting to the QB for 6 sacks and forcing 1 fumble. still it was the offense that ruled this game.

Kodi Burns was basically unstoppable, throwing deep passes against the soft Tennessee coverage or waiting for the linebackers to drop back and help out with coverage and take off for easy runs and first downs. but really there was no need for a running game as i lit up Tennessee with ease through the air. Burns passed for 392 yards and 5 touchdowns with only 1 interception. he also rushed for another 43 yards. Ben Tate added another 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

the Auburn receivers blew up in this game, led by Mario Fannin. Fannin had 90 yards receiving on 6 catches for 2 touchdowns. he also had 21 yards rushing on a reverse. Rod Smith added 95 yards of his own and 1 touchdown, Robert Dunn has 74 yards and 1 touchdown, and Montez Billings hauled in 4 receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown.

again...if only the real Auburn offense could work so well.
