Well, They Can't Take Cam's Virtual Heisman Away

i just finished up my regular season on NCAA 2011 with Auburn by destroying the Florida Gators in the SEC Title Game (take that Urban Meyer) giving my virtual Tigers a perfect 13-0 record as they get ready for the BCS title game (vs. Oregon, no less. EA Sports Knows!!!). Virtual Cam is pretty much just as awesome as Real Life Cam...but with even more retarded stats. 3187 yards passing and 35 touchdown combined with 1725 yards rushing and 34 touchdowns (not to mention i had 20 touchdowns with Dyer and 11 with McCalebb).

Crushing opponents in a pretend reality has been a nice distraction from actual frightening reality. Now off to kill the Ducks and get started recruiting for next season.

i guess they decided not to use the crying Tebow cover after all.

how i'll be spending all my free time until the season starts.

friendships? what are those?

Random Bo Jacksoness on Friday

always.

my old Bo Jackson jersey still fits.

in serious need of an old NES and Tecmo Super Bowl. it's been far too long since i rushed for 1000 yards and 11 touchdowns in a single game with Bo Jackson.

Amazing

Plainsman Parking Lot writes an open letter to all our girlfriends to apologize for our obsession with NCAA Football 2010.

Another EA sports cover boy who isn't gonna play in the NFL

Brian Johnson is one of the cover athletes for EA's NCAA Football 2010. huh?

Positive Vibes Friday: Tecmo Bo Is My Happy Place

we've all seen it. we've all played it. we've all destroyed the computer with him. Tecmo Bo. the greatest digital athlete of all time.


when i was home for Christmas this year i spent a few hours digging through shit in the attic trying to get my old NES and copy of Tecmo Super Bowl but it was nowhere to be found. running for 900 yards in a single game vs. the San Diego Chargers really is the sort of sublime pleasure that clears the mind and inspires me to write a Haiku.

there goes Tecmo Bo
another 99 yard td run
why bother throwing?

Auburn Dynasty Mode, BCS TITLE GAME

it was a long season full of many spectacular beat downs but my Tigers have finally made it to the BCS title game, undefeated and ranked #1 in all the land. they face an undefeated and equally as impressive USC squad that features 2 1000 yard rushers and the top passer in the Pac 10, Mark Sanchez. But you know what? That don't mean shit to me cuz I killed those douchebags 38-0 and won the national championships. That's how my virtual Tigers roll.

This one was over before it even started. Mario Fannin took the opening kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown. But this game really belonged to my Qb Kodi Burns who threw for 300 yards and 3 tds while rushing for 99 yards and 2 more scores. Rod Smith hauled in 6 catches for 121 yards and 2 tds and my defensive MVP, Antonio Coleman got 3 sacks giving him an NCAA record 29 sacks on the season.

So I send Virtual Tuberville out a champion. 14-0 on the back of a dominant defense and an explosive spread offense. God, why can't reality be this sweet?


but hey real life Auburn has Spread Eagle 2 to look forward to...and Antonio Coleman is coming back!!! which is aweseome.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, SEC Title Game

oh what might have been if reality and fantasy weren't mutually exclusive...or if Auburn had an offense like Oklahoma does. reality is for suckers and i've got no time for it right now. it's too depressing.

and so the fantastical world of NCAA 2009 carries on even if the season is already over for my real Auburn Tigers. these video game versions are undefeated with an explosive offense, an unstoppable defense, a Heisman candidate at QB, and a number 2 ranking in the polls. they rolled through the regular season destroying most of their competition and now face off against the top ranked Florida Gators in an SEC title game for the video game ages.

the first order of business for my virtual Tigers will be trying to shutdown Tim Tebow & Percy Harvin who are the two best players on NCAA09 with 99 player ratings each. Harvin is faster than any of my defensive backs and he can score anytime he touches the ball. Tebow is faster on the game than he is in real life and can turn any run into a 20 yard gain if my linebackers aren't ready for it. trying to stop these two is going to be the hardest test my top rated defense has faced all season.


from the get go this game was close. i traded touchdowns back and forth throughout the first half. Kodi Burns opened the game with a 70 yard strike to Mario Fannin. but Florida matched that score with a kick return touchdown from Jeff Demps. i got the running game going on my next drive and Kodi Burns and Ben Tate each rushed for 30+ runs before Tate took it in for a score bringing the lead to 14-7. Florida again countered with a touchdown pass from Tebow to Harvin(surprise) and then we traded another touchdown and field goal bringing the score to a 24-24 tie at the end of the first half. it looked like this might be the hardest challenge i'd faced and my chances at a national title could be in jeopardy....but then the 2nd half started and the Auburn defense showed the Gators no mercy.

it was sack city all second half long as Antonio Coleman single handily crushed Florida's chances with 5 tackles for loss and 3 second half sacks, with the 3rd one knocking Tebow out of the game with a concussion. after that the Gators were forced to bring in backup QB John Brantley and without the threat of a running QB it was pretty much over.


Auburn rolled in the second half and crushed the Gators 52-24 and claiming the SEC title as well as a spot in the BCS title game.

final offensive stats for the game:
Kodi Burns passed for 402 yards and 3 touchdowns and rushed for 57 yards and 1 td.
Ben Tate rushed for 149 yards and 2 tds.
Mario Fannin had 162 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns as well as 62 yards rushing a 1 td.
Rod Smith hauled in 109 yards receiving a 1 td.
Tommy Trott had 4 receptions for 71 yards.

Award winners for my 2008 Auburn Tigers.

Kodi Burns stats for the season were 3257 yards passing with 33 tds and 15 ints. his completion percentage was 60%. he lead the team with 1017 yards rushing at 8.8 per attempt and scored an SEC best 16 times on the ground. he was named 1st team SEC and 2nd team All American. he finished 3rd in the Heisman race behind Graham Harrell who lead the nation with 61 touchdowns and Jeremy Maclin who had over 2,000 all purpose yards and 30 touchdowns.

Antonio Coleman was the winner of the Lombardi trophy and broke the NCAA record with 28 sacks for the year. he was 1st team ALL SEC and ALL American.

Wes Byrum was the Groza winner and 1st team SEC and All American.

Robert Dunn was voted returner of the year with 4 punt return tds. he was also 2nd team All American.

John Bosley was the Rimmington winner and an All American.

other All SEC players were Lee Ziemba, Ryan Pugh, Mario Fannin and Tommy Trott for the offense and Sen'Derrick Marks, Zac Etheridge, and Chris Evans for the defense.

up next: The BCS title game vs. USC

who says the spread offense can't work in the SEC.

with results like these, Auburn might wanna go ahead and add me to the list if people they are interviewing.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Iron Bowl REVENGE!!!

as the Auburn Football nation crumbles around behind me i find that i must retreat again into the fantasy world of my NCAA Football 2009 Dynasty season. Auburn is 11-0, ranked #3 in the nation, has a Heisman candidate in QB Kodi Burns, is #1 in the nation in both offense and defense, and is 1 game away from facing off against the an undefeated Florida Gators team for a shot at #1 ranked USC in the BCS title....but first it's a battle for the SEC West title as Auburn must travel to 10-1 and #7 ranked Alabama.

if only reality were this fucking awesome.

Auburn ROLLS the Crimson Tide 42-0 in the biggest beatdown i've given a ranked team all season. Auburn racked up over 400 yards on the ground and 200 through the air...but this game belonged to my top ranked defense. John Parker Wilson was sacked 9 times and intercepted 3 times. All-American and Defensive Player of the year candidate Antonio Coleman sacked Wilson 4 times himself, 1 of those causing a fumble the was then returned for a touchdown. Sen'Derrick Marks added 2 sacks of his own and a blocked punt.

sometimes destroying another team through a video game makes you feel a little bit better for about 10 minutes...but not really.

Heisman hopeful Kodi Burns finished with 209 yards passing a 1 touchdown with another 103 yards rushing and a score. Auburn finishes the regular season undefeated and will be heading the SEC title game.

honestly i don't see how the Spread Eagle didn't work...

just kidding.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 12

another loss for Auburn in reality that i must make up for in my imaginary world of video game dominance. a world where Kodi Burns is a Heisman candidate and the Spread Eagle offense not only works, it's the best damn offense in the country (or at least top 5).

Week 12 finds my Tigers ranked #3 in the country, undefeated and facing a 1 loss Georgia Bulldog squad ranked #9 in the nation and looking to get back into the BCS picture. This one was close for about 1 possession. cuz that's all it took Kodi Burns to hit Rod Smith for an 80 yard bomb and take a 7-0 lead. from that point on the Tigers completely dominated both sides of the ball and cruised to a 41-17 win.

Burns continued his Heisman campaign with 3 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing score and over a 100 plus yards both rushing and passing. Rod Smith hauled in 4 catches for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns and Ben Tate added 66 yards and 1 rushing score of his own.

the defense held Knowshon Moreno to just 17 yards rushing on 14 carries and sacked Matt Stafford 4 times and intercepted him twice.

so Auburn sits 11-0 in my Dynasty Season with only a 1 loss Alabama team standing in their way of the SEC title game.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 11

Auburn takes their undefeated record back home to host Tennessee-Martin for Homecoming. this one was over before kickoff. Auburn scored on the first play of the game with an 85 yard touchdown run by Tristan Davis. they then caused a fumble on the kickoff to TN-Martin and that set up a 30 yard touchdown scramble by Kodi Burns and before a full minute had even gone off the clock Auburn was up 14-0...if only real football was this easy for my Tigers.

Kodi Burns lit up the Skyhawks for 285 yards passing and 4 touchdowns. he added another 108 yards and 1 score on the ground launching himself back into the Heisman race. even the backups got into the passing attack as Chris Todd added 2 touchdown passes of his own and Neal Caudle came in late in the 4th and threw a td to Robert Dunn.

Robert Dunn was the real star of the game with 229 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns plus a punt return for a touchdown (giving him 4 on the season). the Auburn ground game was pretty lethal as well combining for 306 yards total and touchdowns scored by Tristan Davis (1), Mario Fannin (2), & Brad Lester (2).

The defense was as dominate as ever with 8 team sacks, 3 forced fumbles, and 1 interception. they held TN-Martin to 55 total yards of offense with 80 yards passing and -25 yards rushing on 24 attempts. Josh Bynes lead the team in tackles with 8 and 2 sacks.

Auburn is now 10-0 and ranked #4 nationally. up next is UGA.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 10

Another game in my Dynasty Mode, another blowout. Auburn destroys Ole Miss 55 to 0. it's all about the rushing attack.

Brad Lester 161 yards 2 tds
Ben Tate 100 yards 1 td
Tristan Davis 100 yards 1 td

Kodi Burns has a productive game with 163 yards passing and 3 tds but also threw 2 picks and fumbled the ball away once. he rushed for another 43 yards and scored a rushing touchdown. he's currently 5th in Heisman voting.

The Defense was it's typical aggressive self racking up 9 sacks and 2 ints. Antonio Coleman leading the way with 2 sacks (18 for the season).

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 9

another Auburn loss that must be avenged in the virtual world. wtf?!?!

this was by far the closest game for my Tigers this season. West Virginia was able to shutdown my lethal passing attack holding Kodi Burns to just 8 of 23 passing with 161 yards 1 td and 2 ints. luckily the 1 touchdown pass i made was in the final seconds of the game to give Auburn a 29 to 24 victory. War Eagle indeed.

Rod Smith was the player of the game with 121 receiving yards and 2 touchdown receptions (including one from RB/WR, Mario Fannin). he snagged the game winning catch from Kodi Burns as the clock ran out. Auburn remains unbeaten and still in the national title chase.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 7

sometimes i wish that i sucked more at NCAA Football and Auburn was better at it. i'm still in shock over how poorly Auburn played against Arkansas last Saturday despite the countless number of turnovers and chances Auburn had to win the game...the only way to erase such a loss was to go and play that game in my Dynasty Mode the way i'd wished it would have happened.

and so it was. My Auburn Dynasty mode team is ranked #9 in the country...leads the nation in scoring defense, sacks, and yards rushing against. the Blitzkrieg offense leads in total yards, touchdowns, and points per game. today against the Hawgs these numbers would hold up well.

after scoring in the 1st quarter to jump to a 7 to 0 lead, the Hawgs never once even got a first down for the rest of the game as Auburn rolled to 77 unanswered points. this was the first game of the year where both the ground and air attack really got underway as Auburn rolled up 622 yards of total offense...343 of those were rushing. Kodi Burns was the star of the show with 279 yards passing and 3 tds (1 int.) and 73 yards and 2 tds rushing. Ben Tate added another 109 yards rushing with a 12.1 yards per carry average. Brad Lester chipped in another 53. Tristin Davis had 67 yards and a touchdown (with a 22.3 yards per carry avg.) and Mario Fannin got 26 yards rushing one direct snaps at QB and a td with another 94 yards receiving and a touchdown.

as per usual the defense owned Arkansas. nailing Casey Dick for 7 sacks and causing 3 fumbles....one of those Zac Etheridge picked up and ran in for an 87 yard touchdown. Mike Smith was held to 0 yards rushing on 11 carries. Casey Dick finished the day with 75 yards passing 1 touchdown and 1 int. and yes 7 SACKS and left the game in the 4th quarter with a broken hand. that's what he gets for catching touchdowns against Auburn in the real world.

all in all this is the ass beating that i had wished that Auburn could have put on fucking Petrino....oh well. 77-7 is pretty sweet. in reality Auburn may suck, but my video game Tigers are fucking unstoppable.

after the game Auburn received another commitment from a 4 star linebacker and a 4 star safety. Kodi Burns also shot up to number 1 in the Heisman voting just ahead of Michael Crabtree and Tim Tebow.

Auburn Dynasty Mode, Week 6

if only Tony Franklin could get his offense to perform like i have then he probably wouldn't have been fired.

Kodi Burns and Mario Fannin were the stars of this game as Kodi lit up Vandy for 5 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing scores. finishing the game with 456 yards in the air and 76 on the ground. Fannin hauled in 5 catches for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns and also scored a rushing score on a direct snap while at QB. Robert Dunn returned a punt for a touchdown as well as scoring on Kodi's 5th passing TD of the day. Rod Smith had 97 yards and a touchdown. Montez Billings added 85 yards and a td of his own. the ground game was mostly non-existent as i was having too much fun airing it out. Ben Tate had 56 yards and a touchdown for himself. Brad Lester had another 26 yards rushing.

the defense did it's thing. sacking Chris Nickson 3 times and knocking him out for the rest of the season and then taking the chance to show his backup Makenzie Adams what it should have been like and sacking him twice and hauling in 2 interceptions and blocking a field goal attempt. this one was a slaughter from the word go. final score 63 to 13. War Eagle and all that shit. looks like i get to keep my job as the Auburn offensive coordinator for another week. Spread Eagle still a go in the video game world.

After the game Auburn landed it's first two recruits of the season. a 4 star wide receiver from Mississippi with 4.24 speed and a pass catching tight end from Ohio with good size 6 foot 6, 255 pounds and 4.51 speed. Auburn also finds itself ranked #9 in the nation and QB Kodi Burns has jumped into the Heisman race after his big time performance and ranks 3rd in the computers season-long Heisman voting.

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.

Auburn Dynasty Mode: Week 4

Auburn and LSU. EA Sports has them ranked #15 and #5. the two best defenses in college football, video game or otherwise. if there's one thing i know about playing those Bayou Bengals it's that they aren't gonna be givin' up many yards on the ground and their defensive backs are killers.

and so it was, this game was a complete and total defensive stand for the 1st 3 quarters of the game. LSU refused to let me run the ball holding Auburn to 30 yards rushing in the first half. whenever i tried to take off on QB sneaks with Kodi Burns i was usually met by a defensive end or a safety and lit up. if i tried to throw deep they made me pay as well, Burns had 2 picks in the first half and just 80 yards passing total. offense was a nonfactor. neither team could get any momentum. both trips to the redzone for Auburn resulted in turnovers. LSU on the other hand couldn't even get the ball past the 50 yard line. both sides were sack crazy. Auburn getting 9 in all against Andrew Hatch including 4 from Antonio Coleman. after 3 quarters of play we were all tied up at 0-0.

then finally i was able to make something happen. on a 4th down play at the start of the 4th quarter i faked the option before dropping back and bombing a 40 yard strike to Montez Billings, who beat his defender and took it in for a touchdown. LSU quickly responded with a 60 yard kick return by Trindon Holliday, this was followed by a bomb pass to Brandon LaFell to get the ball down to the 10, but Auburn's defense stepped it up by sacking Hatch twice inside the 10 and forcing LSU to kick a field goal.

when i got the ball back on the next possession i wasted no time sending Brad Lester out of the backfield on a deep route and launching it to him for a huge 50+ yard gain. then on the very next play from 20 yards out i lined up five receivers and took off running for a touchdown with Kodi Burns giving me a 14-3 lead.


LSU was able to take the ball down the field one more time and scored a touchdown but failed to get the 2 point conversion making it 14-9. then after recovering the oneside kick attempt i ran out the clock with Brad Lester and Kodi Burns, with Lester taking if for a 15 yard touchdown in the closing seconds to put the nail in LSU's coffin 21-9.

now if only reality had worked out so well.

Auburn Dynasty Mode: Week 3

after the 3-2 debacle that was Auburn vs. Mississippi State in our reality, i decided to show everyone how you really take care of those damn Cowbell ringers. Virtual Auburn heads to Starkganistan for their first road trip of the season against their first SEC opponent. after that all parallels between the real Auburn Tigers and my video game squad end. after two weeks of rotating QBs I've picked my QB for the year and it's Kodi Burns. his ability to run and get outside the pocket our far to valuable for him to be used in spot work. take note Coach Franklin, this is how you run a fucking spread.

after settling on my starting QB i also have been able to pick my best receiving corp, which consists of a starting group of Rod Smith and Montez Billings on the outsides and Mario Fannin and Robert Dunn on the insides. Tight End Tommy Trott rounds out my starting receivers and i continue alternating Ben Tate and Brad Lester in the backfield or putting both of them back there in a two back set. Lester is the quicker running back and a better receiver, so i generally will send him out to the slot where he can get mismatches against linebackers for big gains. Chris Slaughter alternates with Billings on the outside because he's a better deep threat, but Billings has been my best redzone receiver behind Trott.

coming into this game my defense has yet to allow a point has allowed the lowest yards per game. they also lead the nation in sacks and forced fumbles and are 10th in interceptions. all in all it's a nasty group, just like their real life counterparts. Sen'Derrick Marks, Antonio Coleman, Michael Goggans, and Tray Blackmon have all been nightmares for opposing QBs and Chris Evans has been my best run stopper. and not much changed in this game, as Auburn held Mississippi State to less than 150 total yards although they did give up their first points of the season. Michael McNeil lead the team with 7 tackles and both Tray Blackmon and Antonio Coleman helped add to the national sack lead with 2 a piece.

the offense produced 401 total yards, most of which came from starting QB Kodi Burns. Kodi passed for 166 yards and 1 touchdown while rushing for 114 yards and another score. Ben Tate and Brad Lester each added td rushes of their own and even true freshman Eric Smith got into the act with a goal line touchdown where he ran over 3 Mississippi State defenders.

the receiving corp didn't see a lot of action because i was having too much fun tearing the Bulldogs up on the ground with Burns. Mario Fannin had three catches for 58 yards and Brad Lester had 1 long catch for 54 yards and a touchdown.

so unlike the 3-2 nightmare of real life, Auburn rolled over Mississippi State 42-10 to go to 3 and 0 on the year. up next, LSU.

Auburn Dynasty Mode: Week 2

THE NERDINESS CONTINUES...
Auburn comes into their week 2 matchup ranked #17 in the polls and looking for another blowout win to help them move up in the rankings, and they don't let me down. my virtual Auburn Tigers roll passed Southern Mississippi in week 2 with a 49 to 0 victory, giving them 2 straight shut outs in a row.

the name of this game was motherfucking defense as Auburn sacked the QB on the opening play of the game, causing a fumble that cornerback Jerraud Powers ran back for a touchdown. and after that it just got uglier as Auburn's d only gave up 30 yards rushing and 83 yards passing for the day. and most of that came in the 4th quarter against 2nd and 3rd stringers.

The Stars of the game were the Auburn pass rushers, clocking in 7 sacks. Jake Ricks and Antonio Coleman lead the way with 2 sacks each and Chris Evans, Michael Goggans, and Sen'Derrick Marks all added 1 of their own. every time the Southern Miss QB dropped back he was met by at least two defenders, forcing bad passes, fumbles, a few picks, and racking up the sacks.

thanks (or no thanks depending on how you look at it) Auburn was always in Southern Miss territory when we had the ball, so the potential to put up big stats just wasn't there. Chris Todd got the start and lead the way with 104 yards passing a 1 td. Kodi Burns added another 56 a 1 td in relief, as well as 59 yards rushing on 3 attempts. Burns is looking more and more like the QB i will make my starter (unlike the real Auburn Tigers). Ben Tate tore it up on the ground with 107 yards rushing and 2 scores, Brad Lester added 1 touchdown of his own, but was mostly left on the sidelines, with Tate getting the majority of the carries. Chris Slaughter was the leader in receiving yards with 50 and 1 TD catch.

the defense is completely dominate without any weakness to either the run or the pass. at this rate, i may never give up a point this year.

Auburn Dynasty Mode: Week 1

because i didn't feel like my blog was nerdy enough as it was, i've decided to document my NCAA Football 2009 Dynasty Season for my Auburn Tigers on their quest for the national title. yeah, like i said, dorky to the max.

so virtual Auburn opens up their season with Louisiana-Monroe at home. coming into this game EA Sports has Auburn ranked #16 in the nation. my impact players are listed as Defensive Tackle Sen'Derrick Marks, Runningback Ben Tate, and Wide Receiver Rodgeriqus Smith. but i fully expect Brad Lester and Kodi Burns to be a huge part of this team.

Auburn opens the game with a bang as freshman wideout Philip Pierre-Louis returns the opening kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown. the rest of the day would just go downhill from there for the Warhawks. Auburn wasted no time and intercepted the first pass of the game, giving them the ball back on the 18 yard line. two plays later Ben Tate was smashing over the goal line for a 2 yard score.

all day the Auburn defense completely dominated ULM. giving up -5 yards rushing and only 50 yards passing. all the while wracking up 3 interceptions, 2 forces fumbles, and 5 sacks. Chris Evans lead the defense with 6 tackles (3 for loss) and clocked in 1 sack. Tray Blackmon got 4 tackles of his own with another sack. Marks added 2 big sacks and Michael Goggans got 1 as well.

because of the defensive dominance Auburn pretty much had the ball in ULM territory all day, so the chance to put up huge stats really wasn't there. Ben Tate rushed for only 32 yards and a touchdown, while Brad Lester added just 23 yards of his own and another 2 scores.

the receivers didn't have eye popping numbers either. Mario Fannin was the leader with 3 catches for 59 yards and a td. Montez Billings and Tommy Trott added touchdown catches of their own and Sophomore Chris Slaughter had one 54 yards catch. Robert Dunn also got a touchdown on a punt return (just like in the real AU/ULM game).

the real star of the game was Quarterback Kodi Burns who gashed ULM on the ground and through the air. Kodi piled on 147 yards rushing @ 18.4 yards per carry and 2 rushing scores. he passed for 215 yards and 2 touchdowns before leaving the game in the 4th Quarter to avoid any injuries. Chris Todd added another 30 yards passing and a touchdown pass in relief.

at the end of the day Auburn easily rolled to victory with a final score of 73-0. next up, Southern Mississippi.

god i am a huge fucking OCD nerd.
