Villanova 07 EA Sim
Here we are. The decision has been made and Jordan Steffy was named the starter. All the other changes to the depth have been made. The off season of optimism after the 9-4 season is over. It is now time for it all to be decided on the field, or in the case of our EA Sims on some small silicon microprocessor. Steffy is the talk of the pregame hype, and they all pick the Terps as Corso dons the Testudo head. Roberts kicks it off and it is returned out to the 33. Keep in mind the ball is kicked off from the 30 this year. Should be interesting. Play action pass attempt and Erin Henderson gets the sack for a loss of 5. Wiseman on a corner blitz gets another sack. 3rd and 21, Nova drops back and it is picked and returned 28 yards for a TD by Anthony Wiseman. Egekeze's XP is goot! Roberts set to kick off again. This one is returned from the 12 to the 28. Toss left, loss of 4 on a nice tackle by Jeremy Navarre. Run up the middle for 1. 3rd and 13, and the pass is dropped by a Nova receiver. They punt it away, and it taken by Oquendo from the MD 46 to the Nova 45. Lattimore takes it for 3 off left tackle. Pitch to Lattimore and he goes untouched to the house, and high steps his way into the end zone for a 43 yard score. Egekeze on again, and the kick is good. Sorry I am not taking the time to look up Nova's players, but lets be honest, no one cares, and besides the Phils and Mets are starting soon. The kick is returned out to the 23. Nolan Carroll gets a sack, followed by a tfl for Wiseman, and now it is 3rd and 20, sack by Dre Moore, and Nova will punting from the shadows of their own uprights. The punt is off and Oquendo fields it at the 31 and gets a couple. The give is to Lattimore and he pitches it to Cory Jackson who takes it to the barn. Egekeze kicks another one. At this rate I will not see any of the Phils game. 21-0 1:10 left in the first. Nova fumbles the kickoff an MD recovers at the 28. Steffy on a play action, and it fools no one, loss of 7 on the play. Steffy keeps on a run right and gains 8. 3rd and 9, Steffy drops back, and the pass is incomplete. Egekeze on to try his first FG of the season and it is good from 45. 24-0. Roberts to kick off again. The kick is returned out to the 25. A direct snap gets them a couple of inches, if anything. End of the first 24-0. Handoff up the middle for a nice gain of 13. Looks like Philistin was the first to get there on a sack. QB keeper and Navarre stops him in the back field. 3rd and 15, the QB had all day and eventually took the sack by Carlos Feliciano. Credit the defensive backs for that one. Another punt, Oquendo, gets about a yard return. Terps take over on their own 47. Lattimore gets 12. Steffy goes deep to a wide open Danny Oquendo who dives to make a catch in the end zone on a slightly overthrown TD pass of 41 yards. 31-0 3:03 left. Roberts to kick again. This one is returned to the 23. Sack by Adrien Moten, and he has knocked the Nova starter out. The back up comes in and gains 10 on the first play. 3rd and 6, pitch right, fumble and recovery by Erin Henderson. MD takes over on the 20. Steffy hands it off to Lattimore, TD! Egekeze on to make it 38-0, and it is good. 2:16 to go in the half. If this keeps up the second half will not have nearly the detail. Kickoff is returned from the 14 to the 31. Sack by Navarre. Pass is completed for a gain of 17, 3rd and 1. Play action and a sack by Carroll again. 7 sacks on the day thus far. Oquendo back to receive, after the fair catch the Terps take over a the 42 with 49 seconds left. Steffy looked short for Jackson, and it is incomplete. He hits Heyward-Bey for 5. Heynos gets a catch for the first. TO MD. Steffy hits Hey-Bey down the middle to the 31. TO #2. Steffy hits Oquendo to the 6 or so. 12 seconds left, and Steffy drills a wide open Heyward-Bey for 6. 44-0, Xp is up and good, 45-0 with only a few seconds left. I will give you a cliffs notes version of the second half.
Lattimore took a pitch to the house again for about 65 yards or so. Another MD stop. Portis gets on to the field. His first cyber MD pass attempt is an incomplete. Ball gains 4 on his first carry. Portis connects with Jason Goode for a first down. MD inside the 30. Portis runs the old Scott McBrien play with the fake to the HB, and kept it himself and it took it to the house. 59-0. Portis on an option keeper for another TD as he runs over a defender at the 10. 66-0 with 1:02 left in the 3rd quarter. TD Ball from the 4. XP is up and good. 73-0 with 2:38 left. Long TD run by backup FB Steven Phister. XP is good, 80-0. Fumble recovered by Jermaine Lemmons and returned for a score. XP is good. 87-0. 1:11 still left in this debacle. MD is up to 13 sacks, and this game comes to a merciful end. |
