2005 UNC EA Sim
Well we still have a bit of a question mark with the upcoming suspensions, but it seems pretty much like Weatherly is gone for sure. Sam Hollenbach is getting the start. Weather looks good for this one in Cyber Chapel Hill. All the announcers like Terps, and D'qwell Jackson was getting some pregame hype. UNC kicks off and Lattimore returned it out to the 21. A pitch to Lance Ball nets 5 yards. On second and 5 Hollenbach hit a wide open Ball out of the backfield for 3 yards before he stepped out. 3rd and 2 and Tim Cesa picks up the first and more. On first down Sam hooked up with Vernon Davis to get across mid field. A six yard pass to Derick Fenner. Handoff to Ball for a first down to the 29. VD drops a short pass on first down. 2nd and 10 from the 29. Give was to Cesa, who fumbled, but he had his wits about him, and fell on it. On third down, Hollenbach was flushed, hit Miller for a loss of one. Ennis nails the 47 yarder as it skips across the cross bar. (A Pontiac game changing moment.) MD kicks off for a touch back. William Kershaw picked up a sack for a loss of 5 on first down. On third and 5, UNC connects, McPherson makes a tackle at midfield, causes a fumble, and UNC recovers. A Barrington Edwards run gets them down to the 36. A fumble by Edwards is again recovered by UNC. Yet another fumble on a pitch is recovered by UNC. There must be something on the ball. Connor Barth attempts a 48 yarder that is hooked left. Hollenbach's first down pass is knocked down at the line of scrimmage. On second down he was sacked. On 3rd and 16, Sam hit Derrick Miller for a big gain across mid field down to the 45. VD makes a catch along the sideline for a gain of 9. A give to ball comes up a yard short. Hollenbach goes to VD again for first down to the 24. The give is to Ball for no gain. 3:12 remaining in the half. Cesa picks up three on second down. Ball runs it down to the 15, however it appears to be a bit short, and they are going for it on 4th and 1. Ball is stopped short. (If this was the NFL, cyber Fridge would throw a red flag) I think we got jobbed! Matt Baker picks up for a with a pass on second down. Edwards keeps running after it looked like he would be stopped in the backfield. He is stopped a yard short however, and UNC punts for a fair catch to Jo Jo. MD took a to before the punt. VD made a nice catch down the sideline to the UNC 36. Play action and VD gets his number called again down to the 13 before he stepped out. 1:05 left, play action to Derrick Miller wide open, and he drops it! Ball gains 1, 3rd and 9, and MD takes its second TO. Hollenbach hit VD sliding across the 1. MD goes no huddle, and gets UNC to go off sides. 1st and goal from the half yard line. Ball loses 1. Ball loses one more. 3rd and goal Ball loses one more. 15 seconds and counting Ennis trots out for the 22 yard attempt. MD takes its final TO with 4 ticks left, and the kick is good. 2 seconds remaining. Lance Ball could not punch it in 3 times straight. Unbelievable. UNC returns the kick out to the 21 as the half expires. 6-0 at the half.
MD set to kickoff the second half. UNC fields it at the 1 and returns it to the 17. Edwards gains 7 off tackle. Matt Baker has been under pressure all day. WR reverse was read well by Kershaw and he lowered the boom for a two yard loss. Matt Baker over threw his receiver on third down. UNC punts from the 22. Jo Jo Walker takes it from the 35 to the 44. A play action pass to Jo Jo gives the Terps a first down. Hollenbach aired one out to the end zone and Fenner just wanted it more (reminded me of the catch over Pac-Man Jones at WVU) for the touch down. XP is good, 13-0 3:29 left in the 3rd. UNC returns the kick to the 20. Kershaw stops Edwards after a 5 yard gain. Bakers second down pass was incomplete. 3rd and 5, a delay to Edwards, and Kershaw stopped him in the backfield. Another UNC punt to Jo Jo Walker who takes the fair catch at the 31. Play action on first down and VD IS WIDE OPEN DOWN THE MIDDLE for a 69 yard TD. How can they let him get that open? 20-0. MD kicks off and UNC returns it to the 19. Edwards gains the first down with a carry. Edwards fumbles again with a tackle by Josh Wilson, and a recovery by D'qwell. Jo Jo picks up 9 on a catch on first down. Hollenbach hits ball out of the backfield who had a linebacker on him, and he beat him all the way to the end zone for 6 more! XP is good with 1:41 to go in the third 27-0. MD kicks it out of bounds on the kick off and UNC will take over at the 35. Edwards gains three up the middle and meets David Holloway. UNC gains a first down on a Matt Baker pass to Derrelle Mitchell. Another pass to Mitchell has UNC down to the 26. Baker throws a pass that Josh Wilson broke up (a nice way of saying if he intercepted it, he would have gone the distance, but he dropped it). 1st and 10 a the 13, and Baker hits Jesse Holley for a TD. XP is good with 0:16 left in the third. Josh Wilson returns the kick to the 22. Ball for no gain as the quarter expires. Ball for no gain, can you say deja vu? Hollenbach is picked off by Kareen Taylor. UNC takes over the 48. Jackson makes a stop for a loss on a QB draw. A pass for a gain of 5 on second. 3rd and 9, and Baker is sacked by Holloway. 4th a 14, and they are forced to go for it, and Kershaw comes up with a sack. MD takes over with 3:32 left. Can Lance Ball help run out the clock. He gains two on first. tick tick tick. Ball bust it up the middle down to the 22. Ball gains 4, on first. Ball gains 5 on second. 3rd and 1, from the 13 and the give is to Cesa to get the first and down to the 7. However, he picks up an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for flexing. First and goal from the 22. A give to Ball for 7. Gives to Cesa who gains one ( no celebration). 24 seconds left. A give to Ball for a short gain. UNC calls a TO and Ennis is out to attempt the 35 yard kick. It is up, it is good! 8 seconds left. Kickoff is a touchback. Edwards gets the ball, and is lit up by Kershaw, and fumbles yet again, but UNC recovers. Kershaw delivers another devastating hit to Barrington Edwards as the clock ran out. An overall crush job delivered by the Terpies!
