This Injury Might DERAIL Our Season! Sea Otters Ep. #5

What are they going to say now? Now that the Coastal Sea Otters are on episode five, what are they going to say now? WELCOME BACK, GENTLEMEN, TO EPISODE FIVE of our custom team, the Coastal Sea Otters, where head coach Matt Meeks enters his third season, ranked 13th in the nation. We don't have a national championship yet. That's obviously the goal. But I tell you what, I'm really liking how this roster is looking heading into the 2028 preseason. Most importantly, Will Henderson III red shirt senior his final season cost a lot of schmemeckles. Cost a lot of schmemeckles. 96 speed 97 acceleration shifty side 360 animal got a monster left tackle and Shane Wolfford. We know Ty Biggs is a dog. 6'250. Micah Alejando inevitable. I mean our offense is great but Will Henderson I'm going to miss him so much. Normal Dev by the way I just can't wait. Maxed out quickness. Only thing he's lacking here is some hands and some IQ. He's much like an MMG viewer, just lacking IQ. I want to give a gigantic thank you to Factor for sponsoring today's video.

Came up a little bit short last season, but I think we've got a lot of room to improve. Wide receivers, I still kind of want a speed demon. Maybe Billy Strange can get there. I don't really think so. So, it's Billy Strange, Ross Duca, and Tai Bigs. Duca and Ty are really tall. So, green catches will be a nice option for us. Tight end position is so bad on this team. I mean, Scotty Wade, weird tight end, low overall. We got to recruit a tight end this season. Recruiting a tight end is essential or transfer portaling a tight end. And defensively, this season's going to be all about Moses Lyles. Now, he's a freshman. He's only 72 overall, but he does have elite dev trait. 88 speed and 90 acceleration. He's going to be nasty. So, we're going to keep our eye on Moses Lyles. Mike Vaughn Troutman and Chris Doss all look really good. Chris Doss, platinum robber as a sophomore. It's kind of disgusting. Also, Sergio Heredia, freshman, super fast. Safeties are Teddarius Hughes. Engage Columbus blueprint is exactly how I want it to be. We have reduced expectations. We have offseason increase. We have dynasty points increase. We have recruiting. We got everything we need. We're so good there. Schedule's kind of nutty though. So, like we play Ohio first. Cool. We have Georgia. We're a Big 10 team, by the way. Coastal Sea Otterers are in the Big 10. Our rivals are like Oregon, UCLA, Michigan State. Ohio State's on our schedule. So, this is such a So, okay. Obviously, the Georgia game is going to be really, really tough. We play Missouri. Ohio State in the middle of the season. This is going to be interesting. I'm really interested in this Georgia game, though. We're playing that for sure. Okay, so Ohio's a big win. Our ranking doesn't change. Kind of got to win this game. No, we could lose to Georgia, still make the playoffs for sure, but damn, week one, we're Georgia's first game of the season. Can only play the moments here. Feels good, baby. Oh, yeah. This is a um there's like these week one games that are at a neutral sight. I kind of forgot about this. What's the keys to success in this game? I know Georgia's playbook runs the ball a lot, so things like third and 10 are going to be big cuz they're going to be forced to pass. And there's Lyles. Like I said, I think Lyles is our guy. Okay. Absolutely negative pressure. The zone is going to collapse if we can't get on the quarterback right there. Come on, Moses. This is a run. It's Georgia. It's first and 10. It's an RPO. Even worse, big hit. That's what I like to see. I want to stay on Moses Lyles. This kid's a freshman with the back plate and the towel combo. It's interesting. Jet touch pass. I thought for sure that was a jet power option. I thought that was going to stay with the QB. Big play here. I'm sending it. Montgomery third and two. There it is. There it is. Big 51. That's what I love to see. Fourth and inches. Honestly, holding no field goal. I'm totally fine with this. See what Heredia has got on fourth and inches. No block kicks, guys. One of these days I'm finally going to get a block kick. One of these days I'm going to get it. Defense needs my help again. Yucky. Bad moments. Where's Lyles? Is Lyall's not in on nickel? That would be a tragedy. We're going to need to make a formation sub for sure. Okay, so 425 has him not coming in. That's bold. SECOND AND 12. Clock's winding. George is passing. I see a check down. They don't like it. Pockets, dude. Holy [ __ ] It's got to be a run. I'm pulling queen. If it's a pass, just take it. I'm pulling my DB off that though. Yes, sir. But seven pulled a DB. Still scored it. Good lord. We're getting dominated right now. So Bigs has got single coverage. You got a third and seven as our first moment. This is super ugly. It's Mike Alihado got little bit of room. Absolutely none. Holy [ __ ] Can I play, please? I get one offensive play. Nobody's home. They want to give me a defensive moment. Can I play? Yes. It is 13 to zero. I get a full drive. Here we go. Why not? Wildcat blast for the Otter. What you got? [cheering] Dude, his block was so good he prevented me from running. That's brutal. They go right back to it. This guarantees the balls in Henderson's hands. Third and four now. I mean, do you think Bigs in single coverage? How do we like Bigs or Duca in single coverage there? Or press coverage? I mean, I'd prefer first. Ooh, good blocks. Duca with some good downfield blocking right there. We get a first and 10. Mm. Checkdown's in full effect. I want to air one out. Shawn Wade is not a guy I want to throw the ball to. Alihad's got some room for sure. Nice. Good blocks up front. We got to get our first touchdown up. Quarterback slot options. Kind of a nasty play here. Oh, we're keeping that, dude. Number four, Georgia. At least there's no stadium pulse. Could always be worse. Easy checkdown. Nice catch. stepping up with Micah. They got threeman rush right there. 23 on the clock. We can burn one more timeout. Wide slot verticals. I don't hate this actually. You know, Bigs is going to have single coverage. So is Duca. Those are big dudes. Unless those safeties drop back. No, that's worth it. He kind of's got to jump on him. Green, green, green. Tie bigs. That was the tiniest green window. He dunked on him down there. It's such a big play. Ah, we need more of that. Third and seven. This is one of those shift plays. These are really awkward, but they can work. I like the route combos here. Third and seven. Let's find somebody. [music] Shawn Wade. Oh my god. That's one of the worst parts about playing those moments is a lot of times you just start out on third and long. It's like, all right, you better clutch up the play or enjoy the bench. Weird lighting here. What's going on with the lighting now? Seems like some of the bulbs are out in the stadium, but that's okay because it's first and 10. We got chance. Sean Wade all 74 speed of him but nice. I do think we got to go to Henderson a little bit more here. The thing is is George is really running just three down lineman sets. They're stuffing us. Not this time though. Nice work Henderson. Nine rushes 76 yds. We got to stay with Henderson. Let's just give him a flat. Ooh, actually kind of like the wheel route here. Risky. Not that risky. Allehad's in too much trouble here. We need to take some pressure off Alihado. Oh no. >> Let's get a good run here, boys. Henderson. Can he go >> down to the two? ALMOST, BUDDY. ALMOST. Let's go. Pistol. Let's get strong with it. Deuce. Close. Pistol stretch. Clock's going to get weird here. If Georgia ran at all and then kicked a field goal. And that's not even Will Anderson. We're going to let the backup come in and do it. Why not? What kind of defense can we play? First and 10. Their offense can be anything. They're probably passing, but they really don't have to. First and 10. That's RPO. Oh, I thought he was going to throw that. Second and six. Just made like a backwards tackle, but it works. I'm going to bring back out the blitz. Where's Lyles, baby? My linebacker subs are all screwed up because Lyles should be in RIGHT NOW. BOOM. IT DON'T MATTER. TY GROUPY GETS HOME. Third and 17. Huge play. Okay, we're going to guess pass here. I'm coming off the edge with Zack Queen. Zack Queen can make a gigantic play here if we have time to get on him. We don't. They air it out. What? How did he not catch? This game's busted. This game's busted. But listen, when it's busted in my favor, it's goated. And it's because I'm good at the game. When it's busted against me, it's because Monkeys at EA made it that way. That's a touchdown. If Oh my god, you got panc. Holy [ __ ] My lead blocker Larry got sat on his ass. But we still got a ton of yards. We're clawing this puppy back. Go tight end attack here on first and 10. Check down's my most viable. Yeah. Oh wow. I mean, they just vacated that. We've got platinum tier spin cycle right now. Didn't do much right there. It's usually gold tier, but he's hot. Henderson's hot right now for good reason. He's averaging 14 yards a carry. We're going to speed option our way into a victory. We're going to play this smart. Look at that selfless ball player right there. Look at that selfless ball player, Will Henderson. The third, by the way. First goal. George is out of timeouts. I think this game's over. If I done did my math correctly, [cheering] just Henderson just can't fumble. He doesn't. I think it is. I think I can actually kneel it out. I wouldn't mind giving my boy an extra tutty, but at what cost? You know, at jeopardy of losing the game. No thank you. My goal is going down. Damn. Did we squeak that game out? Number four, Georgia is going to fall to the Sea Otterers. That was not pretty at all. Will Henderson, you're player of the game, buddy. Dude, how do we get that pick? That interception we got made no sense. 14 carries, 155, no touchouts. That's almost kind of more impressive. How do you get 14 for 155 and never hit the end zone, you know? Dub's a dub, baby. Well, let's get caught up on recruiting first and foremost. Now that we're a high star program, I mean, take a look at this fivestar corner. Hello, absolute monster. This kid's coming out of high school with 94 speed and 93 XL. He's also a gem as a gem fivestar already committed. Rodenhauser, I hardly know her. Speed survive receiver. I want to get some speed on this team. Honestly, just working on a bunch of monster four and five stars and already got a lot of these guys to commit. I got Frankie Louvu coming in at running back. That's definitely what I'm going to call him. The big thing I want right now though is a tight end. We've got Trent Logan here. 6'4 vertical threat tight end with some interesting stats. 84 speed, 87. Nothing crazy. He's only high schooler though, so it's okay. Just work on all the absolute dogs we can. Now, the next big game is Ohio State. So, we're 8-1 right now. We did drop one game. That was last week to unranked Iowa of all teams, but we just couldn't get the job done. Now, this Ohio State game isn't that important. We're ranked 10th in the nation right now. And Ohio State's five and four. They're actually really struggling. You never see Ohio State struggle, but Ohio State is ass right now. Also, can we just talk about the fact that Michigan State is number seven in the nation and we are predicted to play them in the first round of the college football playoffs. I've never seen Michigan State be good in a dynasty. It's pretty freaking cool. I don't know what's going on with Ohio State, but here's the thing. Last time I played Ohio State was a bitter bitter loss. This is my rival. This game matters so much to me. Even if in, you know, the grand scheme of things it shouldn't, I have not once gotten to wear my Coastal Connect uniforms, so we're wearing them today, even though this game doesn't really make a lot of sense for it. And we'll put Ohio State in something with a little more color. Actually, that is literally perfect. Look at the Coastal Connects, bro. Look at the male cheerleaders. What kind of [ __ ] is that? I should be allowed to make the cheerleaders female only. It's my program. Third and seven's our first moment. We're in scoring range and I'm about to just chuck this [ __ ] to tie to Tai Bigs. I'm doing it. [ __ ] IT. TY BIGS DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE. GREEN. OH, that wasn't a green. Wow, that would have been a great way to start this game. Damn, it's bright out in San Diego. Whoa, I'm him. Money kick. It's bright. And would you look at this on fourth and two, Ohio State's going to go for the punt here. Let's get Montgomery over here. Try and get a nice little extra block. Whoa, dude. They updated the punt CPU cuz the CPU has been punt dotting. And now States's got a first and goal. Well, that's things you don't want to see on your moment. It's got to be a run, though. It's got to be an inside zone. It's just too obvious. Okay, that's fine by me. Little ankle biter tackle taking out the kneecaps and they're going to lose four. Now they're in a little bit of a heavier set with two tight ends. This really could be the run. Another RPO. So many bodies in there. Nice work, boys. Now they're actually passing this time. They You got to imagine I'm going out of shape. Dude, my linebacker subs are so wonk. Come on. No. Who is this guy? I shot out of a cannon for that. a nighttime game in San Diego. I like this. Okay, Micah Henderson. But of course, it's third and nine for my moment. So, I'm gonna have to go a little bit more aggressive. I'm gonna put Furio on a route. I got Luna on a route. Luna out there running routes. Sure. Absolutely. Bulldozed by the DTackle. And I got to put up another field goal. I got two moments. Third and long. I got to be able to play EA. This is my Ohio State rivalry game. Okay, don't cuck me. Next moment's going to be your defense needs your help. Yeah, there it is. All right. Thanks. Appreciate it. Third and 14. That ain't bad. They got to pass here. I'm I'm going on the group Meister hovering the middle. I don't mind a checkdown. What are you doing? How you get blocked there, buddy. Fourth and three. Huge play. They got to kick this field goal. I imagine they do. And then we scored. Come on. I want to do it. I want to do it to Ohio State. Wildcat. Wildat. Wildat. Wildcat and the coastal connect. These look like high school jerseys. I look like a shitty seven on 17. Do I not look like some [ __ ] you'd see at a seven on 7:30? Or are these low-key goated? I think it looks like some [ __ ] I'd see on 7:30. But you know what? Look at Mike's [laughter] pink leg sleeve. Yeah, that kind of gives it away. Second and four, holding the lead. Ooh, what a good swim move from that linebacker, but luckily we were behind it. First and 10, the RPO. Oh, Duca. If Duca can get around that, I'm about to run QB slot option, baby. No, let's keep passing. We're passing the ball really well right now. What you got, Micah? Easy one. Easy one, Micah. Ohio State Burns their second timeout. They've only got one left. They've got the two-minute warning. We got a three-point lead. Let's go Rio Peaks on Bubble. Why not give Peaks on Bubble here? This actually looks pretty good. I think Henderson's going to be a really nice look on this first and 10. Yeah. Oh, that looks money. Big spin. That's dirty plank call right there. 13 to 10. We're almost in the clear. We're going with the monster. Oh, that's [ __ ] up. Guys, this formation is gross. The monster stack. I don't think they call it that anymore, but like it widens out so much that when they're in a formation like this, you just need your lineman to block a linebacker. And they can do that. Even if it's Ohio State, we're almost I mean, yes, we can shoot the clock, but really we can just go score. Two possession lead with under two minutes. That's crazy. If you tell me QB Neil, I think we technically can QB Neil. [ __ ] Ohio State. [ __ ] Ohio State. I'm going to score first and 10. Let's go find a way. But I could also find a way to sell this game. That's a possibility. Furio, we're going to go motion. That's a fun play. Motioning our tight end to lead block on the outside zone. Oh wow. I ran that so poorly. That's touchdown up to God. But the clock does still lend to us cuz we can just we can just let the game end. But I want to win it. I want to like I want to embarrass Ohio State. [ __ ] Ohio State. Here we go. Big snap. Big play action. Lunas. Who the [ __ ] are you? This is what I get. Oh my god. Now I have to stop them. Who the [ __ ] is that guy? Is that Troy Palamalu? He was manned up on somebody else. Get a safety. It'll be so funny. No, they have no timeouts, guys. Guys, this is what I This is my hatred for Ohio State's about to lose me a game. Whoa, that was weird. Okay, that was a spike. Weird looking spike, but a spike nonetheless. They stopped the clock. Feel like they didn't need to do that, you know. Okay, L, let's make a big play here, kid. Ooh, that left side looks a little open. Oh. OH, YOU'RE IN TROUBLE NOW. Christian Duca just got home. You're in You're in a lot of trouble. I'm blitzing Lyles. Oh [ __ ] Almost got the safety. Come on guys. Can we get home here? I'm on Zack Queen. They pretty much got to air mail this thing. Oh, that's actually kind of a money play. I can still score. I can still score. 13 to 10. First and goal. It's all but over. It was before, too. Go Anderson. [music] Time out. [ __ ] you, Ryan Day. Come on. We're running full house. Come on, baby. Right back to Luna. Excuse me. That's touchdown. What am I missing? What did I Oh my god, my running back. I hit my running back's helmet. This game is doodoo. This game is doodoo dog water. Tie bags. Tie bags. Tie bags. Tie bags. Tie bags. Tie bags. Good route, bigs. [ __ ] him. [ __ ] ME. YEAH, BUDDY. And there's 1 second on the clock. So, down 10. We still kick the ball off to Ohio State. Now we just got to do a little insult to injury. I mean, come on. Right. Oh, get home. No, you fraudulent special teamer, you [ __ ] I was like, kick [ __ ] Ohio State. Add insult to injury. LEAVE NO DOUBT. Lay his ass out. Lay his ass out. Show me the money. Show me the big Yahoomeckles. I'm never bringing out the Coastal Connects again. There is no way that that is the player of the game. And not Tai Bigs, by the way. That was pit right. That was I mean, generally speaking, that was a pretty pitiful performance. We beat Ohio State, though. Beat Ohio State. I'm really interested in this potential conference championship game. Is it going to be a Big 10 championship against Michigan State cuz that would be awesome slash sad, but it' be awesome. Oh, interesting. So, it ends up being the Corn Huskers. So, now we're number four in the nation. Oklahoma, Tennessee, Colorado, Coastal, USF are the top teams. Nebraska's in there, too. So, if it all settled right now, what would be the playoff bracket? Looks like we're going to make the playoff. So, if we win here against Nebraska, we get the buy and it's either TCU or USF, unless that changes, but still, that'd be very favorable. I think this win here against Nebraska would be kind of essential. I need to dig into my playbook and bring out some much better stuff. I don't think that Ohio State game was very good. In fact, I know it wasn't good. I think this game, relatively speaking, should be easier. But let's actually let's run a real offense and let's get ready for the playoffs cuz the playoffs are inevitably after this. Okay, big first quarter drive. What kind of offense do we want to run? First things first, I think outside handoffs are going to benefit our running back really, really well. I kind of want to run some strong sets. Why is Westerman in at quarterback in the Big 10 [ __ ] championship, EA? I'd love to hear the answer on that one. Henderson. Oh, wow. That could have been a really good cut. I got to know EA. What the [ __ ] are we talking about here? Okay, so Mike Aliato is not injured. He's not wear and tearred. They just chose Westerman to be in here. I'm so confused. Get the ball into Wade who kind of got his ass worked. Do not tell me that Micah Alejand is injured. Oh my god, Micah Allejo is injured. Well, thank god we have Preston Westerman at all cuz he's really not bad. 84 overall, 84 speed. Lane Cutler's ready. How bad is it? Oh, this is so bad. We're about to hit the playoffs. Nick John has a broken collarbone. Alihado has a partial MCL tear. Wolford has a dislocated ankle. These are like two of my These are the best guys on the team is Alejad and Woler outside of Henderson. Oh my god. I don't know if they're going to be back. At least we have a buy. If we win this game, we have a buy. Oh, that's so bad. Okay, Henderson, you got to carry us. Oh, and he will. Oh, and he will. Henderson, you get you don't have a choice, buddy. You really don't. Will Henderson's balling out to start this game out. I might go deep to Bigs. I like what Nebraska's running here. Do they stick a safety over the top of that? They do. Okay, we're going to take the easy one. That's okay. That's fine. I was hoping to get single coverage there. Okay, let's go with wide rece. Wow, I really got to lock in now. This is big. Nebraska does have a star corner, but I still so trust Bigs. It's a blitz. Okay, sure. Why don't you block nobody? And and Deontay Wallace can come untouched. Why don't we do that? Third and 10. Got to make a big play. Henderson. Wow. Who's manned up on him? Halfway across the field. I think we go Ross Duca. Ross Duca 6'5 over there in single coverage. GIVE HIM A SHOT. BANG. [screaming] SHUT your eyes. There's kids in the audience. And he's on the Nebraska side. And I don't know what the hell that I think he just threw the ball in the trash can. I'm going to go with a similar look. I feel like they got to put a safety over top of [music] that. They do, but you got to let me go for this on fourth and one. They say field goal. I totally disagree. Where? What is this defense, Nebraska? What the [ __ ] is this defense, Nebraska? Henderson's going to walk up the middle for like 50. Oh, what a piss poor block. Oh, you got to give me something better than that. That's a touchdown. We got a touchdown anyway. I've never seen that defense before. It's like they were in a punt return defense. Okay, fourth and goal though. Nebraska's going for this. Is it a run? No, it's a pass. Dropping back for the pass. He throws. Good catch. Good play. And we've got another defensive stop this time. Third and seven. And I'm going on Groupy. Okay, they're going to motion the running back out. group. He's blitzing. He's not home. Wait a minute. Good. What a swat. That's such a huge play. Looking at a first and 10. Westerman can run the read option. Listen, Westerman was always a good option. It was never, you know, West Holy [ __ ] No, we can't run the speed option. You just chuck it at HIS BACK. HOLY [ __ ] Sea otterters look alive. We've never done that before. That's a new one for me. I'll be honest. We're going across. Crossers money. Holy [ __ ] What just happened? Nebraska has turned into a very, very scary team very quickly. Okay, third and 18. I'm just handing this off. I'm not risking anymore. Wait a minute. I had a chance. You saw what I saw, right? Fourth and seven. Let's get it on the left side here. Okay. Well, that was A PRETTY DAMN GOOD PUTT. NOT QUITE A PUTT DOT. It should be returnable, but if we can get through this blocker money. Wow. This is big. This is big. That's really good defense on Nebraska. I'm back on the groupy. I mean, they can run this. Back to the AR. Ooh. Oh, a low LIGHT INTO A HIGHLIGHT. GOOD BLOCK. The voices in my head want to PITCH IT SO BAD, BUT I WANT TO WIN MORE. WAIT, that was one of the craziest plays in Otter's history. I got my actual That's how you dislocate an ankle and end up on the injury report. Ankles busted into a fumble six. Oh my god. In the Big 10 Championship. Look at this play. First guy coming up to tackle. Legitimately sat on his ass. He got laid out though. Picked up by Mike Vaughn. And that's an insane block right there cuz I was going to get caught. Mike Vaughn was not faster than that guy. And we take it into the end zone for a fumble six. Gargantuan moment. Big 10 championship's over. Oh my. Come on, coach. Come on. That's crazy. That was going to come down to it. Who's the player of the game? We got to be the fumble six, right? Maybe Henderson. Wow, dude. Now I got to go monitor this. I got to go monitor this injury report. The injury report is the biggest part of this game. You don't get any pop-ups when your guys get injured in Sim. They just kind of get injured and then, you know, you could manually go to the injury report every game. Micah, what are you doing? Micah, get the [ __ ] Micah, you got a partially torn MCL. You see him in there? All I was in there. What the freak? You should be should be healing up for the playoffs, buddy. Should be in the ice bath right now. Pause. Resume. Let me join. Pause. Resume. Single season record broken. Woo. Typig has set the Coastal single season receptions record. By the way, it doesn't reset records when you make a custom team. So, these are the actual records from Purdue prior to me turning Purdue into Coastal Sea. So, that's a real record broken. It's not like you always break a record cuz they're a brand new team. So, it's actually pretty cool. Big 10 champions. Duh. Ty Bigs was insane with that catch. Hopefully, that catch broke the record. That would have made it way cooler. Okay, we just need I don't think it's this week, but it's the week after. The good news is we have week 16 is a buy entirely. And we're getting more four and five star commits, which is huge. But here's the thing. So week 16 should be a buy. Glenn Montgomery big 10. Yeah. Oh, 353 and one for Ty. I was confused why we just saw Montgomery cuz it was Mike Vaughn who scored the touchdown. Maybe it was Montgomery who coughed up the fumble. Doesn't matter. It really doesn't. Or maybe it was Montgomery who had the interception. I'm not entirely sure. More commits. Hey, that's the big one. Actually, this is the one. Well, it's a verbal commit. It's not a hard commit. But Trent Logan, the the tight end I want the most. I have no good tight ends on this roster. Got Javon Hooks as well. Wide receiver. In classic EA fashion, there's no option to skip this. So, every season, despite not being in the running. Got to listen to this jackass tell me the same thing every year. Who are the Heisman guys, though? Deuce Knight, that's a lot of touchdowns. I ain't going to lie to you on that. Damn. Bear Bachmeire, LSU. And I'm going to Tavian St. Clair on Tennessee. Do we win any awards this season? No. So, we have the initial buy and then our first round of the playoffs. So, we did get the buy. I mean, obviously you get the buy. You win the Big 10 championship. You're ranked second in the nation, which is kind of crazy. And our Rose Bowl game is against number seven Boise State. That feels like a really favorable matchup. I got to go look into this injury report, though. Holy [ __ ] I don't think Alejad is back. No. Oh my god. So, Nick John. Nick John is actually good and he's been very good for us. One more week and he's back in. So next round of the playoffs he'd be back in. The compound foot fracture for Billy Strange. He's fully out. He's a sophomore, so hopefully he comes back next season. He's fully out. Wolford doesn't even come back for the natty. That is the highest overall player on this team. He's done for the season. Allehad though, two weeks. Two weeks. Let's look at this bracket. So the first week of that is this week as number seven Boise State takes on number two Coastal Otterers. The six seed Colorado is taking on the three seed Oklahoma. That's week one. The second week is whoever we play here. So either Colorado and Oklahoma. If we can beat Boise State and then Colorado, Oklahoma in the national championship against either Miami, USF, Nebraska, or Tennessee, Micah Aleja would come back. So Westerman's going to have to get us there. Holy [ __ ] No way that happened. It's honestly a really cool story line. And I It makes me so glad that we never abandoned, you know, Westerman. We didn't like put all of our eggs in Aloha basket. We spent a lot of NIL money on him, you know, and Lane Cutler. I mean, even if Westerman got hurt, Lane Cutler I don't hate either, but Westerman's been with us for a while. Preston Westerman can the 85 overall. Preston Westerman take us through not one but two College playoff games. I think Boise State's pretty favorable for us, especially in this round. I think Oklahoma is what's really scary. If Oklahoma beats Colorado, then I'm really I'm I'm scared for Westerman. Now, what is he compared to Alejad? He's honestly quite similar. He's right-handed, which I like better. His medium accuracy is like weirdly low, but everything else is really good. He's a lot slower. Well, he's not that much slower than Alejando. He's right-handed Alihado with a few stats worse. I think the biggest piece of the entire puzzle is Will Henderson. Will Henderson is in full perfect health, so that does mean the most to me. Deshawn Redau is next up. He's got gold tier shifty, so he's really, really good, too. And then, of course, Tai Bigs has just been insane. This been our best wide receiver by far. He's been so good. Duca is always an option, too. He caught a huge one. And Billy Strange is injured. So it's actually been Cornell Teague the freshman. So that's Billy Strange is out too. I mean he doesn't have a chance coming back. And then I mean we're working on recruiting good tight ends but Shawn Wade just is going to have to close us out. Wow. Okay. And all this fuss I've forgot to spend my coach points. I've got 155 from this season. Recruiter is darn near done which is really good. That's what we've been working hard. Final for DB, final for wide receiver, tight end, and the two final for quarterback. And the biggest thing is transfers are more interested and I've been building a lot of this team in that transfer portal. So this upcoming transfer portal is going to be so much easier for us. We have reduced NIL expectations from our staff. We have maxed out recruiter tree for transfers outside of kickers and punters. Kickers are people too. Although one thing I didn't consider is Boise State is 14-0. I was talking about this like it's a favorable matchup and I I'm sure it technically is overall wise, but 14-0 is scary. Show me this team. Show me this Boise State team. Boise State, their best player is a kicker. Got relatively low overall, but so do we. Monster DTackle. Achilles Smith, monster quarterback. Rashawn Jones, really solid wide receiver, good corners, no speed demons to worry about. Jaylen Wembley, their running back, is relatively fast with low acceleration. I think the thing that gets you is 99 speed wide receivers. That's where you get bombed on. They don't have it. In fact, this is what I mean by favorable. They're 14-0, so they're going to have, you know, EA shenanigans on their side, but they're not better than our team. We're a higher overall. Wow. Well, this is a pretty crazy season ahead of us here. The college football playoff bracket is ready, but our starting quarterback, our most expensive player, Mike Alejado, is not. We've got to survive two weeks to bring him back for the natty, which is a script that I couldn't write any better. But Preston Westerman has got to do it. He's got to find a way to get us there so Aliato can close it. And it starts at Boise State. I LOVE YOU BOYS. THANKS FOR WATCHING. Next episode is episode six. What will they say in episode 6? Huh?
