NSCF 27 - Everything Thread

[NSCF]

NationStates College Football - Season 27

Breathe deep and take it all in as the tubas' rumbles reverberate through all the iconic campus stadia again. Each one, packed with generations of alumni returning to partake in the traditions of their beloved alma mater, is ready for that combustion of kinky action. The poppin' aromas of molly-popcorn and beer sift out through the bleachers full of marijuana smoke. The bright lights shine down on armoured teams battling under the night sky, school bragging rights and a gruelling summer of work on the line. Ah, yes. It's college football season. Glory, Drama, Pride.

The twenty-seventh edition of NationStates College Football is upon us. In this thread, you will post your team's roster and all in-character roleplays. These can be game reports, character dialogues, or really anything you like. Any out-of-character questions should be directed towards the discussion thread or telegram.

Post-NSCF 26 Ranks

NSCF XXVII Recruiting Spreadsheet

...

With 40 entrants, there will be five conferences. Each conference will have eight teams that are split into two divisions of 4 teams each.

In this 10 matchday fixture there will be both a double round robin within division (6 games), and a single round robin against opposing division (4 games). How it will work out, for scorination purposes, is that a full round robin (7 matchdays), will be played out first, before last three matchdays feature the single round robin. At the conclusion of the conference stage, the top team in each division will face off in the conference championship game, which will decide the conference title.

12 teams will make the Playoffs: the five conference champions, the four highest-ranked schools ranked by OSPI and, finally, three wildcards selected by the NSCF Committee. These 12 teams will then be seeded in the bracket purely by OSPI. Higher seeds will have home advantage until the final, which will take place at a neutral venue. Any nation can put together a bid to host the NSCF Championship (IC only) before the start of Non-Conference week, when it will then be voted on by the NSCF Committee.

New and returning players alike are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the NSCF procedure here. The regular season will be double round-robin, for a total of 10 games. Games will be scorinated three times a week: on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Scores will be posted in this thread at a time determined by each conference's designated scorer. After the ten-game conference schedule, there will be a "Non-Conference Week", with each team playing up to three games against opposition from other conferences. These games will not count toward conference championships, but WILL affect playoff seedings. All Non-Conference games must be arranged by the teams playing them (you can use the discussion thread for this). Once confirmed by BOTH parties, match-ups should be telegrammed to NSCF to be added to the schedule.

Bowls
In addition to the playoffs, there also a few consolation bowl games for teams that do not reach the postseason. If your nation proposes a bowl game to host, you are responsible for inviting the teams yourself if it does not have automatic parameters for selection. The Pioneer Bowl is a traditional game for the two best newcomer teams not in the playoffs. After that, NSCF will not recognize any bowl game involving a team with an OSPI below 0.450.

THE PRIDE

Université St. Croix : A Factfile.

Motto: '成人材之未就 均風俗之不齊'
Established: 1643
Type: Public research university
Location: Québec City, Capitale-Nationale, Québec and Shingoryeo
Religious affiliation: Non-denominational
Endowment: Q£ 21.3 billion (2041)
Chancellor: Armand Lee-Durkheim
Vice-Chancellor: Eleonore Davenport
Academic Staff: 4,765
Students: 22,363
Undergraduates: 13,115
Postgraduates: 9,248

It has taken a decade for Université St. Croix to come back to the NSCF after a decadelong absence, and the Bleu et Blanc are looking forward to keep up their ascent after their successful return two years ago. Being located at the St. Croix district, just ten minutes metro ride away from the renowned Quartier Calanien, the hub of student life, bistros and related academic establishments, St. Croix students, the faculty, the alumni and the Capitoliens all across the Multiverse welcome the fans across the Multiverse.

In terms of collegiate athletics, the Bleu et Blanc are consistently among the most successful in most sports the athletics department sponsor team/individual participation, with their particular strengths in gridiron, Women's basketball, both association footballs, Men's volleyball and fencing teams. Among them, most fans both home and abroad know the Bleu et Blanc football team the best, for they have not only won the second most number of national championships, but have made their mark as every capitolien's true blue in college football. This year was a yet solid year for the Bleu et Blanc program, with a couple of national championships won in Women's footy and an expected deep run for both fencing championships, and football did come close where they secured themselves another top 5 finish after a NY6 bowl win even after large graduation of its players.

As for the university itself, Université St. Croix is renowned for its particular strengths in most fields, but in particular the humanities and social sciences, which has been renowned for its bred and butter. Its Faculty of Arts and Sciences, especially fuelled by all of its eighteen colleges, is funded with consistency and high rates of trust and confidence by the Quebecois Government, who do take particular interest in the university and its students. It is perhaps destined from the university's origin into the 1640s (it is 2047 in Quebec right now), with St. Croix being the nation's only university for the first 120 years of the history. In 1648, the Quebecois Government had built the Seonggyoongwan, eventally the Seonggyoongwan Faculty of Arts and Science of the University itself, with both theological and practical trainings emphasised to prepare its students and alumni into civil service. Since then, as the university was renamed St. Croix in dedication of the St. Croix plains the university campus was built upon and took upon more imperial, comprehensive identity, the Université St. Croix has stood as the pinnacle of postsecondary education in not only Quebec and Shingoryeo, but also the Quebecois Commonwealth as well.

COACHING STAFF

Head Coach: Kweon Joon-Ho, 50

An above-average quarterback with Northwestern University of Attawapiskat, Kweon's legacies were carved as a coach, first by his excellent work as quarterback coach and offensive coordinator at Saguenay and Northern Moravica universities, which was then followed by a rare opportunity to coach one of the most dominant collegiate football programs in the 21st century. He has done alright in the past decade he has coached the program, bringing 2 Tiger Bowls home in the times of budgetary restrictions (especially compared to the successful St. Croix teams of mid-teens of the NSCF football) and keeping the program respectable.

While coming from a background as high-powered QB coach and OC, Kweon's philosophy as St. Croix coach remains fairly straightforward - build it with strong 3-4 defences, dominance on line of scrimmage, and grind out the pace with runs, runs and stoppages. This partly originates from his time coaching with Saguenay, where the stringent academic and admissions standards of the program had meant that recruiting skill positions stood a particular challenge. That's something that he has continued with St. Croix, and the team's identity has more or less continued along.

Offensive Coordinator: Theodore Galstian, 41
Defensive Coordinator: Nathalie-Jeanne Crepeau, 32
Special Teams Coordinator: Hannah McKendry, 42

Style of Play: Smashmouth Offence with two backs / 3-4 Defence

He is complimented by a solid group of coordinators besides him. Out of three the most coveted coordinator is Theodore Galstian, a traditionally-minded smashmouth coach from the QFL's Maritime Schooners, and DC Nathalie-Jeanne Crepeau, defensive coordinator of mid-major Gyeongbuk A&M. Among two, Crepeau's considered more valuable, having been hired at a smashing salary rate after five seasons of promising performance with Aggies. Her use of Tampa 2 and blitz packages have drawn some attention. With St. Croix having recent successes both on field and on the QFL stage as a good DB school, there is no doubt that this St. Croix team's going to come up with an all-arounded, balanced defence. Hannah McKendry, one of the finest special teams coordinator of the NSCF circuit, also returns. The veteran does have head coach ambitions in sight in case Kweon heads to the QFL or retires from football, but for now is happy to stay with the Bleu et Blanc.

The only concern with Lundin is he has had a history of sprained ankles and wrists, making some wonder if he might be a little injury prone, if only with minor injuries. It is a label that Lundin is desperately trying to shake as he moves into his collegiate career. Former #3 overall recruit out of Valanora. First year starter.

Head Coach: Lance Kabuye. 69 years old. The Head Coach is in his ninth season at Northern Moravica. Being hired in what many would describe as an 'awkward situation' in the beginning- the previous coach, himself fired, who then maneuvered his own way to being Athletic Director, and picking his own successor. Many coaches would not have done that, but they have a great AD-head coach relationship, and the results cannot be argued with. In four of Kabuye's first 7 seven seasons, they've reached the NSCF Championship game, winning the whole thing in NSCF 19. Last season's effort was truly out of nowhere- barely voted into the playoffs by the committee as the lowest seed, they sprung three consecutive road upsets, against Staramara Tech, then Richardson U, and then killing Cold Hill's run to an undefeated season on their own turf. While the clock struck Midnight against Raynor in the title game, as long as Kabuye is at the helm, the future is bright at Northern Moravica.

Kabuye was the head coach of Wild Valley University, a smaller school in the eastern part of the Moravica region, for 6 years. He is sticking towards Northern's movement towards more of a traditional "pro-style" offense, focused on putting it under center. With loads of experience everywhere across the offense besides under center, it will be incumbent on him to make the Vanorian QB as comfortable as possible. Last year's success meant that a number of assistant coaches found promotions domestically, so it'll be another challenge for NMU as Lance Kabuye overturns the coaching staff.

Offensive Coordinator & Assistant Head Coach: Idirissa Ouattara. 73 years old. Kind of an out there hire. He was quarterbacks coach at Northern Moravica in NSCF 12 and NSCF 13 under Horace Browning, before he was offered an offensive coordinator position at the University of Ankole in domestic play. He was coordinator there for five seasons (domestic equivalents of NSCF 14-18) before becoming a head coach at Hangaza Tech. His head coaching career was disastrous- he was a poor culture fit, and was fired after just two seasons. He has always been big on the zone read running scheme, and Horace Browning suggested the hire to Kabuye shortly after the old offensive coordinator decided to go be a head coach on his own. This is his 7th year in the program.

Other Offensive Coaches
Quarterbacks Coach: Osogo Odwuor. 41 years old. 3rd year at Northern.
Offensive Line Coach: Abraham Gwandoya. 35 years old. 2nd year at Northern.
Tight Ends Coach: Musaazi Adroa. 79 years old. 2nd year at Northern.
Wide Receivers Coach: Kizza Birungi. 37 years old. 2nd year at Northern.
Runnings Back Coach: Oneka Osano. 40 years old. 6th year at Northern, former offensive analyst for the Herzegovina City Cobras in Banija's professional gridiron league.

Defensive Coordinator & Assistant Head Coach: Okello Resa. 48 years old. He is entering his third season as the defensive coordinator. Chike Halim, the defensive coordinator for NSCF 23 & 24, was hired by the University of Bunyoro to be their head coach. Kabuye looked to the pro ranks for a defensive coordinator, and found one in Okello Resa. He took an extremely experienced defense, and helped put them into good enough shape to reach the title game. But this season will be a much greater challenge- is he up to it?

Other Defensive Coaches
Defensive Line Coach: Corban Opiyo. 44 years old. 3rd season at Northern, came from the same position at Hangaza A&M.
Linebackers Coach: Ahemed Gedeyon. 40 years old. 3rd season at Northern, was the team's starting middle linebacker during NSCF 17.
Cornerbacks Coach: Omoit Lwegaba. 33 years old. 1st season at Northern, a former high school head coach. Only 1st year coach on the staff.
Safeties Coach: Barabbas Ogolo. 35 years old. 3rd season at Northern, a well-connected local high school coach.

Special Teams Coordinator:Sebowa Zilaba. 48 years old. 2nd year as Special Teams Coordinator. With the old Special Teams coordinator retiring at the ripe old age of 76, Kabuye, the veteran coach, looked to bring in some younger blood. Zilaba previously held the same job at Mamari University.

Strength & Conditioning Coach: Odikinyi Achuka. 49 years old. 5th season as Strength & Conditioning Coach.

Recruiting Coordinator: Phoebe Odero. Female. 46 years old. 3rd season as Recruiting Coordinator. Only woman on the coaching staff.

Rivals: Currently the biggest rival of Northern Moravica University is the University of Loyola-Istria, who the Cougars have played at least once a season the last 60 seasons. They have played each other 24 times in NSCF competition, with Northern being 16-10 overall against their archrivals to the South. They've beaten Loyola at least once every season in the NSCF, including sweeping Loyola in NSCF 13, NSCF 22, and NSCF 24. This includes the two teams splitting their playoff matchups. These two teams have long been seen as the top two college football teams in Banija, and indeed, their stranglehold over Banijan college sports has continued, as they dominate not only in football, the biggest collegiate sport, but most other sports as well. When it was discussed for which team should debut Banija on the world stage for college football, it ultimately came down to these two, and after heating exchanges of words between both Athletic Directors and School Presidents in public, and the Mayors of Istria & Herzegovina City, the Banijan College Sports Group(BCSG) decided on a 11-8 vote to send Northern. Domestically, the fallout was so bad, that although they had shared a conference since independence, on a domestic basis, Loyola-Istria split away from NMU into a different conference. The two schools played a thriller in the NSCF 18 quarterfinals, a matchup won by the Blue Thunder. With Loyola's incredible postseason runs in the NSCF, they finally regained the upper hand in this rivalry when they downed Loyola-Istria at the Istria Lightning Yard in the NSCF 19 semifinals, en route to their first ever NSCF title. In recent years, Northern Moravica has gained the upper hand in the rivalry. Northern Moravica has won 6 of the last 7 games in the rivalry, including sweeps in both NSCF 22 and NSCF 24. NMU had reeled off four consecutive wins at the Istria Lightning Yard between NSCFs 21 and 24, although the last two seasons the home teams were victorious in both contests.

While traditionally in the NSCF, NMU have played at home first, and Loyola-Istria have played at home second, for the first time, this is being reversed, with NMU traveling south to the Lightning Yard in Week 3, while the Blue Thunder return to Mugisha II Memorial Stadium on the final day of divisional play.

An on and off NSCF rival is the former Vietussia Academy- now known as Hankow State University. They have played a number of games against the former Vietussia Academy when both schools were members of the Celestia Conference in NSCFs 13 and 14. The two former conference rivals play each other for the Golden Axe. When Vietussia Academy returned to the NSCF for NSCF 18 as part of a different conference, the two teams played each other on the final game of the season in United Vietussia. Northern Moravica took the golden axe back to Herzegovina City with a 20-14 road victory, to improve to 2-3 all-time against their rivals. And, for the first time in 9 seasons, this fierce rivalry is back, as Northern Moravica will defend the Golden Axe against the newly enchristened Hankow State University on the final game of the season.

A former Celestia Conference NSCF rival are the Salamantic Universities. The Salamantic Universities and Northern Moravica split the season series in NSCF 19-21, but the Salamantic Universities swept Northern in NSCF 22(in fact, they swept both Banijan schools). With them competing in the Celestia Conference, the rivalry continues to grow more heated between the schools every year. The official name of the trophy between the two schools is the 'Felinology Trophy', although students from both sides have unofficially named the trophy the 'Trophy of the Ancients' since the matchup is Cougars versus Professors. While Northern Moravica administrators were clear to say that was not the rivalry trophy's official name, with the lack of an official name, that has been the name tossed around by various outlets discussing the new rivalry. Northern Moravica has an all-time record of 5-7 against the Salamantics, and they presently are the trophy holders after a 21-0 shutout victory at home on Matchday 7.

The University of the Commonwealth of Baker Park is also considered a major foreign rival of Northern Moravica. These two teams have played every single season since UC-Baker Park joined the NSCF. The only season they did not schedule each other was NSCF 21, but the fates decided the two would play anyways, in the first round of the playoffs. UC-Baker Park won the sole playoff matchup between the two schools, 27-21. Northern Moravica has an all-time record of 4-4 against UC-Baker Park. There is no name nor trophy for this rivalry- but it is considered a scheduling priority for both schools every single year. This season, they are in the same conference for the first time, only upping the ante and the stakes of the rivalry.

Elephant Valley University of South Newlandia is considered Northern Moravica's newest conference rival. The two schools contested the 'Sally Trophy' for the first time last season, created between the two schools to honor the relationship between the two countries. The Sally Trophy is named after an elephant named Sally, which was the very first elephant to be brought to South Newlandia. This elephant, of course, came from Banija, where elephants are populous. The elephant ended up becoming the national animal of South Newlandia, and of course, the animal is the namesake for EVU. Northern Moravica currently has an all-time record of 6-0 against EVU.

Lastly, Northern Moravica have developed a very recently, but fierce rivalry with Woodstock University, of Sarzonia. The general Banijan-Sarzonian rivalry spilling over to college football, NMU is smarting at one of the few opponents who seem to consistently have their number. In the newly dubbed 'King of the Mountain Game', Northern Moravica will travel to Woodstock during cross-divisional play to try and earn their first ever win in this heated rivalry. When the two teams are not in the same conference, this is used as Northern Moravica's season-ending football contest.

Entrance: There is a unique stadium entrance at home games for the Cougars football team. A starting senior on each side of the football stands outside the tunnel, each one holding the school flag. They stand opposite each other with the flags lowered, and then raise the flags and let the entire team run through. After the team and staff runs through, those two starters run to the middle of the field and each plant their flag on the logo, signifying that this is their home field, and that they will fight to defend home field.

Championships: Northern Moravica has seven Celestia Conference championships in 13 NSCF seasons, winning the conference title in NSCF 12, NSCF 13, NSCF 17, NSCF 18, NSCF 19, NSCF 23, and NSCF 24. They won their only NSCF championship in NSCF 19. They finished as runner-ups in NSCF 20, NSCF 23, and NSCF 25. They also have the longest active playoff appearance streak in the NSCF, having appeared in the NSCF playoffs in every season since their return in NSCF 17, which is now at 10 consecutive seasons and counting.

Head Coach: Dennis Zervos, 44 years old. First season at the helm. The prodigal son returns, eh? NSCF 14 champion as a QB(and Most Outstanding Player), he is well known for suffering a trio of ACL/MCL tears at the beginning of his professional playing career, that ended it before it even started. But rather than let that hold him back, he dove right back into coaching. When Loyola rejoined the NSCF at NSCF 17, he joined his alma mater as the offensive coordinator, and stayed there for 8 seasons.

After a power struggle following NSCF 25, he voluntarily left the school. He was floating for a while, before a head coaching job opened up in the RFL- to coach probably the greatest QB of our time, Sarai Gwenderyn. His innovative concepts in the RFL led them to win a league title, as he coached her for three seasons. But when Alanso Isa retired, despite him coaching in a great professional situation, the call to return to his alma mater proved too much to resist. "I love this team, I love this city, I love this school." Zervos said in his introductory press conference. "I won this competition as a QB, I won this competition twice as an Offensive Coordinator, and now, I'm on a singular minded mission to complete the turnaround that Alanso Isa started last season- bringing championship #4 to this campus."

Offensive Coordinator: Raila Abura. 48 years old, first season as OC. With a new head coach, Loyola's offensive coordinator, Bethlehem Nangobi, left for a head coaching position at Wild Valley University. And so Zervos looked internally, promoting Raira Abura, the team's QB coach for the last two seasons and a former head coach himself, as their offensive coordinator. Abura is certainly not long for Loyola-Istria, as it is no secret he wants to be a head coach sooner rather than later.

While Zervos is clearly going to be the offensive mastermind of this team, both designing and calling the offensive plays, Abura will obviously have a lot of say in the game-planning and scouting department. We'll see how the two co-exist. But with an offense built around the young Chromatik quarterback AMV, and the swiss army knife tight end Russell Farmer, they will look to return Blue Thunder football to the very heights of the offensive game.

Other Offensive Coaches
Quarterbacks Coach: Katungi Kirabye. 39 years old. 1st season at Loyola-Istria. Local high school coach.
Running Backs Coach: Justice Greenspan. 42 years old. 1st season at Loyola-Istria. Starting running back for two Loyola NSCF championship teams(NSCF 14 and NSCF 17). No history coaching at any level, but connection and history with Zervos brought him here as a first time coach.
Wide Receivers Coach: Chambi Dalaya. 47 years old. 1st season at Loyola-Istria.
Tight Ends Coach: Elea Mzuzi. 36 years old. 3rd season at Loyola-Istria. Doubles as the team's Analytics Assistant. Former analytics director at Wild Valley University.
Offensive Line Coach: Jamba Shomari. 38 years old. 3rd season at Loyola-Istria. Came as a well-connected high school coach.

Defensive Coordinator & Assistant Head Coach: Uhuru Besigye. 44 years old. Played with Dennis Zervos as a backup middle linebacker on Loyola's NSCF 14 championship team. When Rasheed Moyo, Loyola's last DC, decided to go back to the professional ranks with Alanso Isa's retirement. So, once again, Zervos used his deep seated connections to hire a coordinator that he knew. Besigye had a solid professional career, playing for 7 years before retiring. After that, at age 32, he got immediately into coaching. He was a high school head coach for four years, before moving up to the college ranks.

A linebackers coach for four more years, he finally got his first coordinator chance at Loyola-Jinja. He spent the last 3 years there before jumping at this opportunity to be a defensive coordinator at main campus. While that makes him persona non grata at Loyola-Jinja, it's clearly the move that's best for his career. Zervos is entrusting the entirety of his defense to this young coordinator, who is expected to coach a fiery, aggressive defense.

Championships: The Loyola-Istria Blue Thunder have an incredible NSCF postseason record, being 19-6 all-time in the postseason in this competition, including a ridiculous 16-6 in playoff games and 3-0 in bowl games. Those, of course, give them three NSCF Championships- NSCF 14, NSCF 17, and NSCF 21. In NSCF 13, they won the Pioneer Bowl, and in NSCF 14 and NSCF 17, they won the NSCF championship, posting a 3-0 and 4-0 record in those two postseasons, respectively. In NSCF 18, they made a run to the NSCF title game, winning 14 games in a row until the title game in the Banijan capitol, only to fall to Mar Sara Tech. In both NSCF 19 and NSCF 20, they lost semifinals on their home field, falling to Northern Moravica at home in NSCF 19 and falling to Cold Hill at home in NSCF 20. They redeemed themselves in NSCF 21, defeating Cold Hill in the championship game. They have five Celestia conference championships, winning in NSCF 14, NSCF 20, NSCF 21, NSCF 25, and NSCF 26. Unfortunately for the team, however, they have not won a playoff game since their NSCF 21 title, meaning the team with one of the most insane postseason records of all time hasn't won a playoff game in half a decade. During that time period, however, has won a pair of bowl games, winning the Karmin-Falce Auto Bowl in NSCF 22 and the Mugisha III Memorial Bowl in NSCF 24.

Rivalries: North v. South Showdown against Northern Moravica. See Cougar History and Traditions for more.

Their big foreign rival is Richardson University of Ranoria, whom they play annually in the Rebel's Cannon Bowl. The young rivalry has developed quickly, as the teams compete for recruits off the field and championships on it. In NSCF 17, Loyola-Istria travelled to Richardson University for the first game of this rivalry, and lost a very close battle. But in the return in NSCF 18, Richardson University came to Busukuma, and defeated the Blue Thunder at the Stadium of the Restoration. The return was another close battle between the two schools, losing an instant classic in overtime in Ranoria. This rivalry is called the Rebel's Cannon Bowl, and is traditionally contested on the final weekend of the regular season. This season will be the ninth edition of the game. The first four of the games of the series have been won by the home side, with Richardson winning in NSCF 17 and NSCF 19, while Loyola-Istria emerged victorious in NSCF 18 and NSCF 20. However, Loyola-Istria triumphed in NSCF 21 en route to their third NSCF championship, to break that streak while winning on the road. And that was the last season Loyola beat their fierce rivals. Richardson has now, to the disgust and horror of Blue Thunder fans, won 4 in a row in this series, including twice when Loyola was the designated home team. It is a source of constant annoyance for Loyola players and fans alike, including and especially the coaching staff. Loyola currently sits with a 3-6 all-time record against their despised Ranorian rivals.

They also have a very competitive rivalry with Felswyr State University. The Chromatik school is an annual opponent for the Blue Thunder, and they sport some of the best NSCF QBs in history- with Isaka Jawara, a man who has two NSCF Offensive Player of the Year awards, as well as one Most Outstanding Player award, being a graduate of Loyola-Istria, and Sarai Gwenderyn- who is freaking Sarai Gwenderyn- having taken snaps for Felswyr State. Loyola is 2-3 all-time against their Chromatik rivals. Sarai got the best of them in the first three matchups across the first two years of this rivalry, which includes a pair of regular season wins, and a playoff win at the Istria Lightning Yard. But the last two years, the last laugh has gone to Loyola, with heartstopping wins in back-to-back years for the Blue Thunder to flex their blue blood status.

Known affectionately as "The Horseshoe" to locals and to many across TJUN-ia, Sherwood Field combines the raucous atmosphere of a college game with the surrounding local scenery that the region is known for. The big patch of grass in front of the scoreboard is accessible to fans, allowing for a unique viewpoint for the game we all love. While it certainly isn't the biggest venue in all of TJUN-ia, not just the NSCF, its warm and close-up atmosphere can certainly make the difference come game time...

Dietrich Stadium, constructed in 2012, features a capacity of 94,750 attendees, and is one of the toughest places to visit in college football. One of the largest stadiums in the country.

Team Philosophy

Offensive Style: Richardson tends to direct their plays from the I formation, only adopting a shotgun look if they have a lethal passer along with an obvious need to pass. Generally run 11, 12, or 13 personnel (1 running back, 1-3 tight ends). The run game is done with a power concept (i.e lots of double teams), taking advantage of highly recruited, big offensive linemen. Richardson's general philosophy is to pound the rock down the opposing team's throat and eat away at the clock to make things easier on their defense - but they're modern enough to know how to maximize that style with the play action attack.

Defensive Style: Richardson's base defense is a 3-3-5 nickel look, generally running some sort of man coverage on the outside with safeties providing deep help. The team is in the second year of its defensive system after this unit led them to a 12-1 record a season ago. As is, expect three down linemen, a standup edge linebacker, and five defensive backs in most situations to offer more speed and versatility to a unit that has traditionally been a "line up and play" defense. Strong side OLB will typically line up as a pass rusher and may rush or drop back into coverage depending on the snap, weak side OLB is typically off the ball.

These are just here if you feel like using them! So it's a simple system
Runs: "SchoolName" or "Mascot" - the schoolname would be a run to the left, mascot to the right.
So for example - "Richardson" would be a run to the left, "Governors" would be to the right

Passes: protections and route concepts need to be called.
Protections:
60- standard pass pro without TE, sliding left
61- standard pass pro without TE, sliding right
50- TE stays in, sliding left
51- TE stays in, sliding right
40- TE chips then runs route, sliding left
41- TE chips then runs route, sliding right

Receivers: Not all of these receivers will always be on the field. In the rare case of going 5-wide, these labels are still used.
X- WR1
Z- WR2
Y- WR3 or TE1 - if WR3 is on the field, they get this designation
H- TE1 or TE2 - if WR3 is on the field, TE1 is H. If no WR3, TE1 is Y, TE2 is H
T- HB1

Defensively:

Usually the team will come onto the field with two plays called. The first play is the call, the second is their check. If the playcall is "Ranger Check Mickey," then Ranger is run unless a "check check" is called, which would mean Mickey is being run. If you want to do anything with this, feel free to make up playcalls.

Key Losses:

QB Astrid Verona: After 2 seasons of precise but unproductive play, Astrid exploded in NSCF 26. She'd finish a 12-1 campaign throwing for 3,603 yards and 23 touchdowns while running for another 374 and 3 with just 2 interceptions as an explosive threat who complemented the main threat of this offense...

HB Elliot Roach: 369 carries, 1,953 yards, 18 TD. That's what you tell anyone who asks why Richardson's offense so incredibly explosive last season. Roach was a bona-fide star from his sophomore year on when he took the reigns from Kuenda Sello, and this offense looks like it's going to take a big step back without their battering ram.

ILB Kaiser Belfort: The enforcer of this squad was the centerpiece of this defense. He didn't quite gel as well in the 3-3-5, but when you have a player of this caliber, it hardly matters. Belfort is already productive at the professional level, his loss leaves a huge hole in this defense.

DE Gideon Kearse: But not as bad as this guy. The NSCF 26 DPOY was one of the most dominant prospects at any position in Ranorian history, and was virtually unstoppable off the edge as a fearmongering bull rusher. Kearse would start just months after the NSCF season for the Krauts in the World Bowl - this loss is a crushing one. That said, Kasper Ulvestad returns as the team's sack leader, and DT Malchiel Lukwiya flashed his potential as a freshman. This team will still be strong on the defensive front.

Player bios:

DE Kaspar Ulvestad: Ulvestad is stronger than he looks now at 230 pounds, but his main traits are speed and a relentless motor. Ulvestad is primarily a pass rusher, but with Harrowitz stepping into the HC role provides enough flexibility to drop back when needed. Led the team in sacks last season even with NSCF 26 DPOY Gideon Kearse on the other side.

WR Constantina Perrier: Perrier's a big bodied freelancer at wideout who can generate a ton of RAC. She's excellent at finding holes in coverage and has been given plenty of opportunities in this offense to make reads and adjust routes at her leisure. Will be a massive crutch along with Dustin van Halfennsen for freshman QB Isaiah Hunter. With her running mate Angela Sauber leaving for the GFLB draft, most of the passing game will run through her.

CB Takeuchi Ichiko: This is the guy to watch out for. Ichiko stepped right into a barren cornerback room prior to NSCF 25 as a freshman and put on an impressive display given that situation - technical, patient, and more shutdown than gambler. He's now comfortably slotted into the #1 corner role and the team has seen him blossom into one of the better corners in the NSCF.

SS: Totte Lindberg: A fortunate signing from Valanora, Lindberg was key in a new scheme as a box linebacker slotted to start as a freshman. Lindberg was graded as the top recruit in Valanora and the #2 DB recruit among all NSCF nations prior to NSCF 26, and had an instant impact for a team that went 12-1. Expect him to be one of the core players for a young defense.

DT Malchiel Lukwiya: Going into year 2, a lot of this defense's success is relying on Lukwiya's development. With the loss of a generational talent in Gideon Kearse, this defensive line needs another playmaker. No one is asking him to fill Kearse's shoes, but he'll have to be a disruptive force on the interior.

QB Isaiah Hunter: A surprising signing given Richardson's low-volume passing attack, but Hunter shocked the team with how casually he won the starting quarterback job during training camp, showing up with a firm grasp of the playbook he'd been given to study and more arm talent than anyone else on this roster. Soft-spoken and bookish, his biggest challenge will be stepping into a leadership role.

HB Horace Billing and Rylan Rodgers Jr: Billing is the starter. The senior bulked up to 225 pounds to emulate the team's formula with the superstar running backs of days past in Kuenda Sello and Elliot Roach - he's a bit slower than he'd like to be at that size, but this guy's a bulldozer. Rodgers, meanwhile, is already causing some buzz around campus with his antics, but hasn't gotten into any trouble. An incredibly talented dual sport athlete, count on him to step in and provide a spark.

Home Stadium:

The Tundra, often snow covered, in Cold Hill was constructed in 1999, and can hold up to 85,000 people.

Team Philosophy:

At its core, the team's game plan, generally, is to rack up points and then make opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable when they try to catch up.

Offensive Style: Cold Hill is a pass-first, air raid, quarterback centric team offensively. Generally run the offense out of the shotgun in 10 or 11 personnel. (1 running back, no tight ends, or 1 running back, 1 tight end). As long as it's working, they see no reason to slow down scoring and give other teams a chance to get back into the game. Power style run game, tight ends and backs are usually plus pass protectors if they're starting. Expect a lot of chipping and double teams in pass protection. With Benoit Youngblood under center, this looks to be the most aggressive passing attack in the NSCF.

Defensive Style: Base 3-4 Defense. In essence, make a bunch of plays and cause enough disruption to stop the offense. Outside linebackers serve primarily as edge rushers with very rare drop backs into coverage, while big defensive linemen clog up the interior. Heavy emphasis on pass rush. Scheme features a lot of blitzing, particularly from cornerbacks, and relies on linebackers to soak up tackles while the front men key on the passer. In the run game, expect a contain and bounce inside approach, to force runners straight into the linebacking core. Generally at least one playmaking safety, currently Proko is employed as a weapon on the defensive side.

Key Losses:

QB Robin Sterling: Not a loss really - Sterling was a hyped up dual-threat quarterback who produced just over 5 yards per pass attempt and threw six touchdowns to six interceptions last season along with an astounding five fumbles in just six starts. He was a huge part of Cold Hill's collapse last season - Benoit Youngblood though promises to be the man to take up the torch passed on by legends like Thorn Davis and Deondre Rhine.

OLB Candace Ferrett: The #10 recruit out of Chromatika five years ago, Ferrett was the team's premier pass rusher. Kenneth Bray steps up as the team's top pass rusher, but Ferrett's consistency made her the all-time sacks leader for the Buffalo.

CB Victoria Mio: The rapidly beating heart of this defense is gone. Victoria Mio headlined a defense that, through her tenure, secured the title of "best in program history" in four consecutive campaigns. The Chromatik sensation is lighting it up now in the Ranorian Football League, and this team is gutted with her loss.

Player bios:

Receiving Corps: This group is headlined by Nikolas Isaksen out of Valanora. The jump ball specialist has more than enough size to make most secondaries pay. He's a true #1 target, and broke Cold Hill's program record for receiving yards in a game in NSCF 25. Heath Heinz is a solid number two and a menace in the red zone, but this is Isaksen's show. Darin Sundström is an elite #2 , and the second Vanorian of this team who could easily be a top dog in most WR rooms. But regardless, it's Kasozi Batte who's been turning heads. The 6'5", 235 pound Banijan true freshman is already developing excellent chemistry with Benoit Youngblood, and the two promise to be an electrifying combination.

SS/OW Prokopios Vortigern Rooijakkers: Rooijakkers, often called "Proko" for short, is likely the most talented player on this roster. Coming in at 6'10", he's often employed as a box safety while getting most starting snaps in that role, though the Buffalo have no problem dropping him back deep to make x's and o's type coaches throw their clipboards when attempting a deep ball. Proko is more than athletic enough to play offense, and has been employed out wide, in the slot, at tight end, and even at running back a couple times.

ILB Derek Pierce: The former 4th ranked recruit in Ranoria, Pierce is an impact player. He's a run stopping beast and effective as a blitzer. The team captain is one of few above-average starters on this defense.

DT Eden Park: A monster out of Quebec and Shingoryeo, this guy fought his way into the starting lineup as a freshman on a Buffalo defense that was the best in program history. Once Harvey Klein, a larger but less productive DT from Ranoria, fills out into his talent, the two will form a dynamic, monstrous duo on the interior.

Benoit Youngblood: The end-all-be-all for this team's season. Youngblood is the most talented quarterback to enter this locker room since Rhine, and an argument could be made he has what it takes to surpass even Diamond Rhine's lofty heights. The sophomore has all the tools - both physically and in the team that's been built around him. If you want the best quarterback in college football, well, look no further. Youngblood did take a gap year between his final high school season and his freshman year now - reports from training camp advise that rather than look rusty, the kid looks as if he’s honed his game even further during his extended off season.

C Dhairya Taylor: #3 recruit out of South Newlandia, Taylor has the size and will to excell in Cold Hill's system. An excellent pass blocker by nature, expect Taylor to earn a few snaps late in games, although physical maturity will limit him from starting this season barring injuries. Taylor is one of the more promising OL prospects the program has brought in since Vince Vermillion, a long-time national team starter.

CB Nicholas Hussain: #7 recruit out of South Newlandia, Hussain's role will be limited, but this kid's too talented to keep off the field. This coaching staff is working to improve his ball skills, got that down pat, there’s not reason he can’t be a top-level corner. For now, he’ll rely on his physical talent, be that size or speed, to get the job done.

Felswyr State University Firehawks
Stadium: Firehawks' Roost (Cap. 38,000), Felswyr, Mountain District, Chromatika
Offensive Base Formation: 5 OL, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 HB, 1 QB
Defensive Base Formation: 3 DL, 4 LB, 1 SS, 1 FS, 2 CB

COACHING STAFF
Head Coach: Misha Florentine, 46
Born and raised in Felswyr, Forentine has been one of the biggest proponents of Gridiron Football in Chromatika for years. He was a successful businessperson under the Chromatik Party, but dissolved his state-run factory during the Rainbow Revolution, using the funds to create Chromatika's first Gridiron Football academy. A charismatic visionary, Florentine is someone who likes to delegate the actual football duties (he was never a player but loves the game) while being the front office manager. The fact that he has landed Felswyr State University a spot in the NSCF is a huge victory to both him and to Chromatik Gridiron Football as a whole. With Felswyr State's success (4 Semifinals appearances, 4 Championship appearances, 2 Championshisp), his efforts have made him the hero of all gridiron fans in Chromatika. Rumors are that he will be leaving the University soon, but he remains a large part of FSU's identity.

Offensive Coordinator: Naia Curentino, 39
Who is Naia Curentino? She played football semiprofessionally in the Regional Leagues for a few years before calling her career quits and going all in on Florentine's plan. An avid fan of the NSCF (her favorite team until Felswyr State entered the competition was University of Loyola-Istria, she's revealed in a few interviews), she's the mad scientist of the Coaching Staff. She's very animated, very forward, and very driven. Someone that the team needs if they're going to make a name for themselves. In the first three years, Curentino has proven that her system isn't just a flash in the pan with all the success, especially after Gwenderyn. Now, with the team being more offensively minded, she will be called on to be the mastermind behind scoring drives once again.

Defensive Coordinator: Isidora Noles, 45
With Kasen Harrowitz leaving for Richardson University, Isidora Noles stepped in as Defensive Coordinator, promoted from her Secondary Coach position. She's been highly instrumental in how the team's come together defensively. She'll be using a 3-4-4 instead of the 3-3-5, which will mean that the team will be a bit more stout through the middle. As a disciplinarian and shrewd tactician who knows her personnel by heart, the Firehawks haven't missed a beat, leading the team to a surprise title. This time around, things will be a bit harder with so many seniors graduating, but she'll try her hardest.

Special Teams Coordinator: Vera James, 34
A savant of trick plays and taking risks, James is the youngest member of the staff by far. She views every instance of special teams impacting the match as an opportunity to hit it big, and will always look for players who can do more than they are supposed to. A tricky, catty individual, she's willing to do almost anything to win. With McAllister and Katt gone, there's new players on the positions - and the possibility for more.

Head Physio: Marius Benne, 40
The younger brother of Zoe "Z" Benne, the Chromatik National Football Team's physio, Marius is the more serious of the two, all business all the time. He's pretty good at his job.

QB Kadesh Odika

Taking over during the out of conference slate, Odika came through in the clutch and was a key reason why the Firehawks won their second title. Now, he'll be given the keys to do whatever he wants - and the team will live or die by his mechanisms.

WR Otto Mitchell

Tired of having to deal with Drawkian corner backs four times a year, FSU went out and recruited Otto Mitchell from Drawkland. Though he may not be as tall as other Drawkians, he's the tallest target that Gwenderyn has ever had; with his height and jumping skills, the Firehawks will be able to air things out more than ever before. Mitchell was a huge part of the team's offense in their championship run last year; assisted by Stan Devlin and So Kwang-Sun, Mitchell is still making a name for himself with the knowledge that he will almost always have the name Alessandra Mio held up on a pedestal ahead of him.

HB Sydney Thomas

The first true Running Back to be listed, Thomas will feature heavily on the new Firehawks offense that will try to use the size up front as well as play-action for big plays down the stretch. He doesn't need Vasilievna to block for him, which is a plus; his versatility will be very important.

TE Ulrich Jefferson

Since the graduation of Niles Gwivern, Ulrich Jefferson is the best receiving tight end that the country has had. He'll grow into the role, but he will be a good security blanket.

OT Julian Watt

Watt is the senior voice on the offensive line - and the Kohnheadian now has some others who have played with him for a while, meaning that for the first time in three years, the line is a strength of this offense.

Offensive Philosophy

With an offensive line that has had many years to play with each other, the Firehawks will let Odika do things as he sees fit. Having a back like Thomas in the backfield will help, and then he has a wealth of weapons to throw the ball to. Expect big plays, risks, and the understanding that sometimes, they will make mistakes - which is fine as long as enough positive plays come out in spite the mistakes.

DE Aubin Rouzet and Sizo Ashenafi

It's Aubin Rouzet and Sizo Ashenafi starting. Rouzet is someone that has the combination of ability to find the backfield, ability to tackle anyone that gets in his way, and the reach to catch those balls that other Defensive Ends would not be able to. Ashenafi, on the other hand, is a tough-as-nails gamechanger who comes through in the clutch. Now Juniors, they will have to do a lot with a lot of youth in other parts of the field.

OLB Nicole Manstrom and Rolan Monroe

Nicole Manstrom starts alongside Rolan Monroe. Monroe is a clutch player who is driven while Manstrom is the blitzer - two more players who will be trying to fill in some big shoes. They will also be a part of the players trying to cause turnovers.

MLB Reile Jordan

Filling Park Mi-Hyeon's shoes is almost as impossible as filling Sarai's, but Jordan - with her smarts and her quickness - will do a decent job.

SS Magnus Lindhjem

After playing second fiddle to Sage Sterling for so long, Lindhjem finally gets his time to shine - and he should do a dependable job.

CB Brianna Oglesby

Now in her Senior year, Oglesby is the team's leading Corner, having learned very quickly and without much issue.

CB Alani Sörens

The Newlandian corner has high expectations due to his speed and ability to read the field.

Defensive Philosophy

Under Noles, the Firehawks have switched to a more traditional 3-4-4, and utilizes a coverage middle linebacker and a blitzing one on most situations. There is definitely youth all over the field, but they'll try to be aggressive, cause turnovers, and hope that they recover on the back end if that fails.

Breille is it, now. She has a longer leg but is highly passionate and emotional, having learned how to be more of a clutch kicker from one of the best in the sport.

P Viktor Andrei

Andrei has a booming leg and a more carefree attitude.

Special Teams Philosophy

A kicker should never miss. Play for field position. Solid fundamentals. McAllister will always be missed.

Staramara Tech University Lava
Stadium: Johnston Memorial Stadium, Staramara, Urrhed Island (Cap. 4,500)

MANAGEMENT
Head Coach: Laverna Getz (56)
Offensive Coordinator: Teisha Wagoner (52)
Defensive Coordinator: Candy Vogel (52)
Special Teams Coordinator: Adelle Bernard (45)

OFFENSE
Philosophy: The STU Lava use a jumbo set (5 OL, 1 QB, 1 FB, 1 HB, 2 TE, 1 WR or 5 OL, 1 QB, 1 FB, 2 HB, 1 TE, 1 WR) and run the ball 80% of the time. Their receivers are more outside blockers that sometimes leak out to catch receivers in the flat. The QB is allowed to take the ball and run it or hand it off - they commit to the run well. When the QB does throw, it's quick outs or deep play action passes.

Quarterbacks
#18 QB Haruno Masakazu - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Felswyr, Mountain District - OFFENSIVE CAPTAIN
#13 QB Liana Anderson - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 4: - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#07 QB Amerique Qarinne - So (20) - Height: 6’ 1” - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Liana Anderson is a hybrid passer who can throw and run with equal efficiency, while Hakuno Masakazu is an interesting fit as he's more of a pocket quarterback with an accurate arm. Masakazu has won the starting job after last season, and with the team getting some better receivers, there may be some more deep play action in the future for the Lava.

Running Backs
#27 RB Gabriele Ziegler - Jr (20) - Height: 5' 9" - Hometown: Mooreville, Ranoria
#20 RB Isaga Duhaga - Fr (18) - Height: 5' 10" - Hometown: , Banija
#32 RB Jordan Hines - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#34 RB Leandra Hopkins - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Gabriele has done well as a receiving back, and the Lava bring in Duhaga to be the more short-yardage running back to get the tough yards in between the tackles. Hines is a decent option in two-back formations where both need to be able to catch the ball, while Hopkins is an understudy for now.

Fullbacks
#38 FB Naomi Erehon - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Tihon, Urrhed Island
#37 FB Jameson Akae - So (20) - Height: 6’ 3” - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island

Naomi Erehon is more of the pass blocking type who can leak out in the flat, and is more expected to play with Masakazu, while Akae is the run-blocking type.

Wide Receivers
#17 WR Layna Cinder - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island
#80 WR Min-Gu Byuk - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Tihon, Urrhed Island
#83 WR Jacoby Grinner - So (20) - Height: 6’ 4" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#82 WR Edison Dotwiler - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#19 WR Eduard Wallard - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Vitoron, Capital District

This group of receivers are okay with catching the ball, but better used setting the edge on stretch running plays. Layna Cinder is more of a pure pass catcher and Min-Gu Byuk is the speedster, while Grinner can tear up the field and Dotwiler and Wallard can both catch passes in the open. When the Lava need to make comebacks, they now have a slew of players that can really catch the ball.

Tight Ends
#84 TE Oswain Callheart - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 9" - Hometown: Z'ai'ai, Mountain District
#89 TE Darin Faulkner - So (20) - Height: 6’ 1” - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island
#88 TE Osman Pyatt - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 10" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island

In order for the Lava to do well, their Tight Ends will have to do well. Oswain Callheart is the one to head out there. Darin Faulkner is good in rush blocking and not much else, while Pyatt can help with the passing downs.

Offensive Tackles
#71 OT Izaya Hanzo - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Umbar, Mountain District
#73 OT Ikuru Bayongo - Fr (18) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Kihanga, Banija
#76 OT Nastaya Fleming - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island
#79 OT Pietr Sandoff - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 11" - Hometown: Hanai, Capital District

Izaya Hanzo is a run-first blocker while Bayongo is the jack of all trades from Banija brought in to replace the departing Senior. Nastaya Fleming is a bit slower than either of them, while Pietr Sandoff is the better passing blocker than any of them save Bayongo. They remain the biggest question for the Lava's offense.

Offensive Guards
#74 OG Haden Groff - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Qet, Urrhed Island
#66 OG Brandon Nile - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Tor, Urrhed Island
#70 OG Karlos Dwyer - So (20) - Height: 6’ 1” - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island
#78 OG Arley Barrier - So (20) - Height: 6’ 7” - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island

With Reeves and Ruffin gone, Groff and Nile are up. Both of them are strong and physical but aren’t the best in pass protection - the best pass protector on this line is Barrier. Karlos Dwyer, on the other hand, is quick for a lineman.

Centers
#70 C Si-U Park - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 7" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#77 C Maria Jones - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Wix, Urrhed Island
#79 C Rhiani Samson - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Qet, Urrhed Island

Park Si-U is a cerebral player who can call out protection schemes and assigning packages than playing the game himself. He's not the best at running situations, and will have to be inducted in the way of STU's running game. Maria Jones and Rhiani Samson will be there in case Park needs help.

DEFENSE
Philosophy: The Lava run a 4-3, Cover 2, with an emphasis on stopping the run and pressuring the Quarterback. They aren't the best at stopping the pass, but in an ideal game, they'll control time of possession and get at the Quarterback enough times that it limits the opposition.

Defensive Ends
#50 DE Taniuchi Kai - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 1" - Hometown: Tor, Urrhed Island
#55 DE Armand Portier - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island
#61 DE Paul Eberron - So (20) - Height: 6’ 4” - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island
#63 DE Lee Bo-Mi - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 8" - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow District
#66 DE Paul Everson - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 7" - Hometown: Felswyr, Mountain District

Every one of these players are fast blitzers with a nose for the football; Kai is the best in coverage, Portier best getting past the Tight End or Running Back, while Eberron has the most pure speed, Lee is the relentless one, and Everson shines in clutch situations.

Defensive Tackles
#65 DT Gérald Bullion - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Qet, Urrhed Island
#50 DT Jaire Alford - So (20) - Height: 6’ 5” - Hometown: Dietrich, Ranoria
#57 DT William Michaels - Jr (21) - Height: 5' 11" - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island
#69 DT Nevin Ingalls - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 1" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island

Alford is a step-in-the-room and make the team better kind of guy. He's very strong and remarkably fast for his size, but his gap movement, discipline, and swim move in the pass and run game are what make him stand out. Gérald Bullion provides more size; William Michaels and Nevin Ingalls can spell them for stretches.

Outside Linebackers
#48 OLB Masresha Meba - Jr (20) - Height: 6' 1" - Hometown: Karonma, Moravica Region, Banija
#56 OLB Wakimoto Kaede - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Lhor, Coastal District
#52 OLB Alexeyeva Verusya Dmitrievna - Sr (22) - 6' 2" - Hometown: Pria, Coastal District
#53 OLB Gruzdev Kvetoslav Vadimovich - Jr (21) - 6' 1" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed District

Msresha Meba did well for a year, and can be described to be rangy, smartest dude on the field, and fundamentally sound. Wakimoto Kaede is more of a fundamental tackler while Alexeyeva Dmitrievna and Gruzdev Vadimovich learn from the bench. This is a very young core that will need to develop.

Middle Linebackers
#51 MLB Lucius Agot - So (20) - Height: 6’ 3: - Hometown: Istria, Wakiso District, Banija - DEFENSIVE CAPTAIN
#44 MLB Estella St. Jones - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Lanar, Rainbow District
#47 MLB Kevin Weathers - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 10" - Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island

With Rinaldi gone, it’s Agot that is the key of the defense. Agot is an absolute tank of a man, as the sizeable middle linebacker is one of the toughest people to block in high school football. He is known as an elite tackler, and somebody who can shed all sorts of blocks. He plugs running holes, and while he doesn't quite have the speed to stick with running backs in the zone, his strong play recognition skills allow him to stay at the center of a zone defense. But he's got the fundamentals of the game all together. and he's got the size to stick with tight ends, so he's expected to be a force in the middle for years to come. Estella St. Jones will provide Agot protection, and brings more ranginess and coverage skills to the position, while Kevin Weathers is a ball of instinct and not much else.

Safeties
#31 FS/SS Do-Hyuk Kim - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Eyrods, Myana Island
#37 FS Rona Candice - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 4" - Hometown: Tihon, Urrhed Island
#34 SS Su-Bin Kim - So (20) - Height: 6’ 4” - Hometown: Sanar, Rainbow Island
#28 FS Harold Hynes - Fr (19) - Height: 6' 3: - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island

Do-Hyuk Kim loves to play through contact, Rona Candice is a ball hawk, while Kim Su-Bin is the risk taker. Safeties aren't expected to do much in this defense but assist in plays. Hynes adds the dimension of being another ball hawk that can be fielded.

Cornerbacks
#42 CB Mastaya Vorpen - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 2" - Hometown: Chromia, Capital District
#21 CB Anira Hoss - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 10" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island
#43 CB Ingrid Gustaffston - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 11" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island
#33 CB Gary Harold - Sr (22) - Height: 6 ' 7" - Hometown: Qet, Urrhed Island
#29 CB Andrew Gilliam - So (20) - Height: 6’ 3” - Hometown: Staramara, Urrhed Island

Mastya Vorpen is a serviceable corners who are used to being on an island, while Anira Hoss can bring the heat. Lava Cornerbacks are expected to deal with situations on their own as the safeties are often helping the linebackers with the run.

SPECIAL TEAMS
Philosophy: STU special teams is all about field position and not much about scoring. This team likes to go for it on fourth and short, so they're fine playing second fiddle.

Kickers
#05 K James Dior - Jr (21) - Height: 6' 3" - Hometown: Myana, Myana Island

James Dior is a serviceable kicker who's reliable under 40 but not very good beyond that.

Punters
#10 P Percivel Gilbert - Sr (22) - Height: 6' 5" - Hometown: Urrheddiao, Urrhed Island - SPECIAL TEAMS CAPTAIN

Gilbert is a directional punter who tries to pin opponents deep.

Season 2 Champions: East Omnio High School (MVP: WR Alessandro Mio)
Season 3 Champions: Mt. Niar High School (MVP: QB Sarai Gwenderyn)
Season 4 Champions: Mt. Niar High School (MVP: QB Sarai Gwenderyn)

Season 8 Champions: Vitoron School of Charge (MVP: QB Anne-Maurice Vivayavich)
Season 9 Champions: Myana Northwestern High School Blue and White (MVP: QB Nicole Estera)

Reminder: Tiebreakers are H2H Results then H2H PD. For three-way ties, overall PD is used as the first tiebreaker, and then H2H Results come in for the second and third teams. For ties involving more than three teams, overall PD is used.

High School Football is back! Last time around, the Anacondas almost had a perfect season, to be tripped up at the final hurdle by the Blue and White. Will the Robots of Vitoron School of Charge make another deep run? How will the Martyrs of Francesca Larriet-Cortes High School do? Who will win the Emerald Conference in Urrhed Island? Let's take a look at the Rainbow District, Mountain District, Heartland District, and Coastal District.

Diamond Conference
Favorites: Pelar High School Hurons, Lanar High School Rhinos
Dark Horses: Rainbow Central High School Cavaliers, Lanar Central High School Bikers
Cellar Dwellers: Twin Cities High School Gemini, Tears of the Revolution High School Saints
Star Players: Pelar High School RB Jacoby Laure-Brissett (Sr.), Pelar High School QB Reeva Karlston (Fr.), Pelar High School K Redwina Gard (Sr.), Lanar High School QB Inera Rhett (So.), Lanar High School SS Everson Griffith (Sr.), Lanar High School K Gavin Hanar (Jr.), Rainbow Central High School TE Wilhelm Daniels (So.), Rainbow Central High School OLB Henri Jefferson (Jr.), Lanar Central High School WR Amanda Derulo (Jr.), Lanar Central High School FS Eric Djokovic (So.), Twin Cities High School C Marx Jacoby-Jones (Jr.), Tears of the Revolution High School MLB Inna Jones (Sr.).
The Rundown: Last time around, the Rhinos and the Cavaliers faced off for the Conference Title, with the Rhinos coming up top; they will be contested by the Hurons this season, with Reeva Karlston under center and Jacoby Laure-Brissett getting most of the carries. The Rhinos are led by Sophomore QB Inera Rhett, who steps in for the departed Steven Brenoir. That will be the biggest change, but the rest of the Rhinos are pretty solid. The Cavaliers will be waiting with their star OLB Jefferson and TE Daniels to see if any of them will falter, while Lanar Central's WR Amanda Derulo will hope that any of their three QBs can actually throw a pass. Marx Jacoby-Jones of Twin Cities High School is one of the best Offensive Linemen in the country, while MLB Irina Jones will tally a dozen tackles a game for a hapless Tears of the Revolution High School side.

Pearl Conference
Favorites: Jerome A. Samuelson High School Mimes, North Sanar High School Riflemen
Dark Horses: South Sanar High School Armadillos, Chromatik Army High School Recruits
Cellar Dwellers: Knetyohai City High School Peregrines, Penat High School Understudy
Star Players: Jerome A. Samuelson High School QB Anderson Joseph, Jr. (Sr.), Jerome A. Samuelson High School WR Tiffany Morales (So.), Jerome A. Samuelson High School FS Kim Byung-San (Sr.), North Sanar High School WR Ned Pill (Jr.), North Sanar High School CB Larry Pinmichael (So.), North Sanar High School DE Mark Waddle (Sr.), South Sanar High School RB William Brine (Jr.), South Sanar High School MLB Jacques Jones (Jr.), Chromatik Army High School C Theodore Usania (So.), Chromatik Army High School DE Oswin Jackson, Jr. (Sr.), Knetyohai City High School RT Eddie Paul (Jr), Penat High School QB Kandice Mott (Jr).
The Rundown: Out of nowhere, the Jerome A. Samuelson Mimes came to the forefront of the Conference, and the Mimes captured the hearts of the entire nation by making it to the National Playoffs. Now, with Joseph in his Senior year, Morales another year under her boot, and a defense led by Senior FS Kim Byung-San, the Mimes are the best team, by far. The Riflemen will have a different underclassmen throwing the ball to Ned Pill after a career-ending injury to Raul Ibberon, which can really set them back; the Recruits will be led by their defense, the Peregrines know not much other than how to run the ball, and the Understudy have a very mobile QB and not much else. Welcome to the era of the Mimes.

Mining Guild Conference
Favorites: Mt. Niar High School Anancondas, Z'ai'ai Central High School Hooligans
Dark Horses: Mt. Baker High School Abominable Snowmen, Winter Heights High School Glaciers
Cellar Dwellers: Randan High School Rapiers, Jatho Agricultural High School Farmers
Star Players: Mt. Niar High School QB Victor Rowles (Sr.), Mt. Niar High School RB Anne Holmes (Sr.), Mt. Niar High School FS Liara Gin (FS), Z'ai'ai Central High School QB Terry Ryung (Jr.), Z'ai'ai Central High School OLB Carter Cooper (Jr.), Z'ai'ai Central High School FS Ken Dwyer (Sr.), Mt. Baker High School RB Han Bi-Mi (Sr.), Mt. Baker High School ILB Simon Gerard (Jr.), Winter Heights High School DT Paul Grayson (Jr.), Winter Heights High School CB Dorothy Yang (Sr.), Randan High School QB Pavel Ingram (So.), Jatho Agricultural High School FB Willard Liana (Jr.).
The Rundown: Viktor Rowles almost had it all - the first perfect season in Chromatik High School Gridiron history, a chance to do something that Sarai Gwenderyn couldn't do, and a title. Then, Myana Northwestern took it all away. Rowles is back, and though his best targets are gone, he has a backfield led by Anne Holmes and FS Liara Gin to shore up the defensive side of the field. Sure, he has underclassmen to throw to, but he's very good, and they should be fine. As for the Hooligans - who finished 4-6 last season - still have Terry Ryung leading their offense and a defense that is led by Ken Dwyer and Carter Cooper. They should be back this year, though the Abominable Snowmen of Mt. Baker High School will try to make it to the Championship Game with a team that can both run the ball and stop the run. Winter Heights remains a team that's built on the defensive side of the ball - Paul Grayson and Dorothy Yang are ballers - while the team that surprised everyone, Randan High School, has a high octane offense led by Pavel Ingram, but not much else. For Willard Liana and the Farmers, it'll be another long year - at least they can run the ball semi-decently well.

Snowy Fields Conference
Favorites: Umbar Hills High School Grizzlies, Brisara Trade School Businessmen
Dark Horses: Ming School of Business Traders, Briara Central High School Hammers
Cellar Dwellers: City of Umbar High School Monkeys, Dynasty High School Royals
Star Players: Umbar Hills High School QB Ewan Pyrehamix (Fr.), Umbar Hills High School DE Erik Kessler (Jr.), Umbar Hills High School MLB Beatrice Hak (Jr.), Brisara Trade School QB Rico Divalles (Sr.), Brisara Trade School RB Tary McLauren (Jr.), Brisara Trade School OLB Hera Athena (Sr.), Ming School of Business TE Logan Vinte (Sr.), Ming School of Business OLB Jessika Kyle (So.), Brisara Central High School WR Ivan Nyer (Jr.), Brisara Central High School CB Peter Juxon (Sr.), City of Umbar High School C Hang Kyung-Jyuk (Sr.), Dynasty High School QB Gill Gaines (Fr.).
The Rundown: The Grizzlies run this conference, led by a defense with Erik Kessler and Beatrice Hak; Ewan Pyrehamix is a prospect with some upside with his arm strength, but will lean on the defense against the Businessmen, who have Rico Divalles to lead the team in his Senior Year, with Tary McLauren in the backfield and Hera Athena on the other side. It's pretty even, but the Grizzlies do have a better defense. Behind them, the Ming School of Business Traders have pieces but not much else, with Jessika Kyle likely to get double digit tackles every season; the Hammers of Brisara Central High School will either throw over the top or pick off passes, as Peter Juxon is one of the best ball hawks in the country. At the bottom, Hang Kyung-Jyuk seems like the best Center, while Gill Gaines' quest to bring the Royals to relevance begins - he has been rated highly, but there isn't much around him. The Grizzlies, though, are really set to repeat.

Breadbasket Conference
Favorites: West Shantarr High School Scorpions, East Shantarr High School Order
Dark Horses: Pùr Equestrian School Riders, Anfanhar High School Mystery
Cellar Dwellers: Dragon High School Flames, Pùr Heights High School Destroyers
Star Players: West Shantarr High School QB Francine Weiler (Jr.), West Shantarr High School RB Rea Atera (Sr.), West Shtnarr High School LG Mylera Jorley (Jr.), East Shantarr High School QB Daemon Argonaut (Fr.), East Shantarr High School RB Benjamin Merik (Sr.), East Shantarr High School CB Michael Larson (Jr.), Pùr Equestrian High School RB Perry Orr (Sr.), Pùr High School WR Oliana Pier (Jr.), Anfanhar High School RG Asphodel Myers (Jr.), Anfanhar High School C Matthias Woodpecker (Jr.), Dragon High School SS Andy Kolar (Sr.), Pùr Heights High School QB Frederick Killaman (Jr.).
The Rundown: The Order utterly fell flat last time around, but still have a lot of star power - with Daemon Argonaut, the best-rated pocket passer in the freshman class, Benjamin Merik in the backfield, and Michael Larson shoring up the deep end. However, the Scorpions also have a great QB-RB tandem, and Mylera Jorley will be a huge asset blocking in front of Atera or protecting Weiler. The Riders have a great offense and a subpar defense, while the Mystery's offensive line is one of the best in the nation. For the bottom feeders, Andy Kolar will get at least ten turnovers this season, while Frederick Killaman of the Destroyers will single-handedly try to win games as a run-first Quarterback.

Dairy Conference
Favorites: City of Lorentine High School Wizards, Cheonju Korean Institute Red Devils
Dark Horses: Crix Technical High School Chameleons, Crix Arts Institute Artisans
Cellar Dwellers: Cheonju High School Condors, Lorentine Central High School Majestics
Star Players: City of Lorentine High School RB Randolph Huckleby (So.), City of Lorentine High School MLB Britney Hines (Sr.), City of Lorentine High School RT Heinrik St. Joseph (Jr.), Cheonju Korean Institute QB San Coreen (Jr.), Cheonju Korean Institute WR Lana Kans-Baptim (Sr.), Cheonju Korean Institute DT Reeka Solphim (So.), Crix Technical School QB Jack Niles (Jr.), Crix Technical School OLB Asmodel Propleier (Sr.), Crix Arts Institute RB Ren Gyung (Jr.), Crix Arts Institute SS Saria Kollom (Sr.), Cheonju High School CB Carolyn Jones (Sr.), Lorentine Central High School TE Samira Lottiver (Sr.).
The Rundown: The Wizards have reigned supreme once again - and Frank Wing is being given the keys. A southpaw, dual-threat Quarterback, St. Joseph will protect his blind side while HInes will do what Hines does from the middle of the defense. For the Red Devils, Coreen is a mobile passer and Kans-Baptim a
speeding receiver who can take over in space. Reeka Solphim is now the key piece of their defense - with the ability to totally plug up the middle. The Chameleons have a deep passer in Jack Niles and a blitzing linebacker in Asmodel Propleier; other than those three, the only other team that could really make a difference is the Artisans of Crix Arts Institute, with Ren Gyung hitting the hole and Saria Kollom hitting like a hammer; Carolyn Jones is a rangy corner for Cheonju high while Samira Lottiver is a possession-based tight end for the Majestics.

Wildlife Conference
Favorites: East Rhoni High School Kayaks, Lhor Central High School Flying Jellyfish
Dark Horses: Pride Academy Cyclones, Rhoni School of Architecture Gradients
Cellar Dwellers: Anderson H. Kim High School Chimera, Harbour High School Shipmen
Star Players: East Rhoni High School QB Evan Jerome (Jr.), East Rhoni High School WR Peter Langloif (So.), East Rhoni High School FS Fyra Plintiff (Sr.), Lhor Central High School DE Kyra Bones (Sr.), Lhor Central High School OLB Aurana Mikel (Jr.), Lhor Central High School CB Karen Michaelangelo (So.), Pride Academy QB Mikkela Ansoli (Jr.), Pride Academy CB Lyla Pale (Sr.), Rhoni School of Architecture DE Jillian Hunter (Sr.), Rhoni School of Architecture MLB Riley Este (Jr.), Anderson H. Kim High School MLB Mauricio del Pata (Sr.), Harbour High School QB Evan Hill (So.).
The Rundown: The Flying Jellyfish surprised everyone last season, and look to be poised to repeat; with their defense being as good as it is this season - Kyra Bones is massive off the edge, while Aurana Mikel can cover and blitz off the edge. East Rhoni finishing fourth last season was a travesty, but that should not repeat; Evan Jerome continues to develop, while Peter Langloif has become the possession-based security blanket, and Fyra Plintiff is still a hammer on the defensive end. Further down, the Cyclones continue to have Mikkela Ansoli, a pocket passer, and Lya Pale, a sure-headed cornerback. The Gradients should return back to middle of the table, led by their defense of Senior Defensive End Jillian Hunter and Junior Middle Linebacker Riley Este, as Amira Kong's presence will be missed. At the bottom, the Chimera will still have Maurico del Plata be a menace up the middle, while the Shipmen, having fallen all the way down to predicted sixth, will lean on Evan Hill's Quarterbacking - shotgun-style.

Aqua Conference
Favorites: J. H. Yadasky High School Heroes, West Rhoni High School Warhawks
Dark Horses: Compass Coastal Academy Cartographers, Coastal Academy of the Arts Sculptures
Cellar Dwellers: Coast Guard High School Guards, City of Larhai High School Rush
Star Players: J. H. Yadasky High School QB Cade Stases (Fr.), J. H. Yadasky High School RB Isaiah Candy (Jr.), J. H. Yadasky High School SS Heinrik Desller (So.), West Rhoni High School QB Suki Yoshito (So.), West Rhoni High School WR Darian Pollard (Sr.), West Rhoni High School MLB Lyn Dairon, Compass Coastal Academy QB Kevin Marr (Sr.), Compass Coastal Academy SS Trila Wassok (Jr.), Coastal Academy of the Arts QB Hudson Chalres (So.), Coastal Academy of the Arts RT Wang Han-Gyuk (Sr.), Coast Guard High School DT Gerry Hawthorne (Jr.), City of Larhai High School OLB Rila Kevex (Sr.).
The Rundown: Why are the Heroes the favorites now? Well, the Warhawks lost one Isaiah Hunter, who was one of the best Quarterbacks in the country at this level, and though Suki Yoshito does have a decent arm, she doesn't have the range. The Heroes, on the other hand, have an exciting prospect in Cade Stases, with his quick feet and rocket arm; Isaiah Candy will provide plenty of carries from the backfield, while Heinrik Dessler has become a really good coverage safety. Yoshito will have a reliable target in Pollard, though, so it should be close. Keep an eye on both the Cartographers and the Sculptures - they both have decent but not spectacular Quarterbacks in Kevin Marr and Hudson Charles, with Marr being the rocket arm and Charles a more reliable passer. Wang will anchor the line in front of Charles while Wassok gives Marr more opportunities with the ball. As for the bottom, Gerry Hawthorne is a space-eating machine up the middle, while Rila Kevex may be the fastest linebacker off the edge.

[Kohnhead]

Kohnhead City University Mighty Eagles
Nation: Kohnhead
Trigramme: KHD
Name: Kohnhead City University
Nickname: The Mighty Eagles
Colors: Gold and White
Conference: Big Eight Conference
Season Number: 6
Record: 48-26
Achievements: 2x Semifinalist
5x Playoffs
2-0 Squidhead Cup
1-0 "Unofficial Big 8 Championship Game"
4x 2nd Place Big Eight


Coaching Staff
HC: Milton Donnelly (54)
OC: Rickie Shah (57)
DC: Addison Lyons (42)
STC: Brad Suarez (70)
QB Coach: Jennie Villa (48)
RB Coach: Mitch Ellington (40)
WR Coach: Adriana Schroeder (67)
TE Coach: Genevieve Bennett (45)
OL Coach: Lara Goff (56)
DL Coach: Fiona Todd (58)
LB Coach: Sally Pace (67)
Secondary Coach: Clyde Richmond (39)


Offensive Scheme: This is an option offense at its finest, built on the speed and agility of the quarterback and the running backs. Shah and Donnelly have cooked up an offensive scheme that will pound the ball down your throat running the football but also has blistering speed all over the field. Donnelly is on record saying that the strong arm quarterback is one of the most overrated aspects in football. In terms of their passing offense; short, quick, and crisp passes are what is required and they like to get Johansson on the move a lot. While three receivers start, the team plays a lot of three back sets and loves hybrid receivers who can lineup in the backfield as well. This offense will score a lot in a loaded Big Eight conference as they have in every season.

Defensive Scheme: The defense runs a very aggressive 4-2-5 that is built on speed at all three levels in particular at the linebacking group. The defensive line is the most emphasized part of this in particular a big nose tackle in the middle is required. Generating pressure will take some of the load off of the linebackers shoulders who need to have quick instincts and be able to blitz if necessary. Coverage is also easier on the secondary as there are 5 of them. This is a an uncommon base defense but Addison Lyons has assured everyone that it will work at this level. Over the course of three seasons we have seen mixed messages defensively, while in conference the defense never tends to do well that can be attributed to the extremely high levels of offense we see from the Big Eight schools. Lyons is not on the hot seat per say but if Kohnhead once again fail to win the Big Eight we could see her as a scapegoat.


Depth Chart (starters in bold)
QB: (C) Emilee Johansson (Senior) - Chromatika
Julius Beasley (Sophmore)
Flip Lewis (Freshman)

It's time for Emilee Johansson to cement her legacy in a Kohnhead City shirt. The Chromatik has been a three year starter and great leader on the team and has always put up good stats yet it feels like the team has never reached its true potential under her. Sure, she's managed to beat FSU not once but twice easing the pain of the inital 0-6 record against them. She also led us to the semifinals in her sophmore campaign which remains the furthest KCU have ever gotten. Yet, we've never reached 10 wins in the regular season in program history and Johansson just hasn't been successful against the big boys in Richardson and Cold Hill. With Richardson, Cold Hill, and Swisston both starting freshman at quarterback (including a Chromatik), Johansson will need to prove she's still the cream of the crop at the position in the conference.

Two years after having the best running back room in the nation headlined by senior superstar Herman Whitworth and one of the best backups you could ask for in Rowena Hastroff, KCU finds running back as a potential weakness for the first time. After a year in the spotlight, Rowena Hastroff is gone and his replacement options are certainly a step down. Luis Beil showed a few flashes last season emerged this offseason to take the starting spot away from senior Mark Flynn. Beil has some good speed and has decent hands while Flynn will continue his role as the power back in short yardage situations. It will definitely be a room by committee with Wilder and Stewart also expected to contribute.


WR: (C) Blitz Taurus (Senior) - Ranoria
Brett Dalton (Freshman)
Jaydan Randall (Freshman)
Doris Holt (Junior)
Stuart Farmer (Sophmore)
Ashley Stott (Sophmore)

After three years operating out of the slot where his off the field antics matched whatever he was able to do on the field, the coaching staff gave Taurus an ultimatum this season. He'd shown his talent in bursts but a questionable work ethic and many off the field incidents as well as some on the field ones forced their hand. Taurus was either to show up in the spring ready to work or his starting spot would be gone. As the oldest receiver in the room, Taurus came into camp ready to work. He looked stronger and faster and not only did he stay out of trouble but he also acted as a mentor for the two new faces in the room. After seeing all of this, Taurus shocked everyone by being elected a captain in a total change from the last three seasons. It looks like he really matured this offseason and hopefully his on the field production will match the offseason hype. Brett Dalton and Jaydan Randall were both highly ranked Kohnheadian recruits last season with Dalton replacing Keith Gray as the burner and returner and Randall replacing Kalu Alazar as the target man.


TE: Tom Lundgren (Junior) - Valanora
Danicka Hess (Junior)
Victor Braun (Senior)
Annie Mathis (Sophmore)

The two tight end offense continues to show promise althought it remains to be seen how much time we spend with two tight ends out there who primarily catch passes but both are talented enough that they will certainly get good playing time. Braun serves primarily as the blocking tight end while Mathis was an oft-injured High School player who has some talent and a large frame and is a piece for the future.


OT: Goliath Castellan (Freshman) - Ranoria
Jennie Harper (Sophmore)
Courtney Simmons (Freshman)
Juno Turner (Freshman)

Offensive tackle has always been a strong spot for Kohnhead City especially so last season when Deidre Gott and Danielle Raynor were dominant as they had been for three seasons. Jennie Harper made a few appearances last season and showed her talents. She is ready to start at the right tackle position for the next three seasons. However the headliner of this group, the headliner of Kohnhead City's recruiting class and for good reason is Goliath Castellan. Castellan was the #1 ranked recruit out of Ranoria last season and has chosen to go across the Big Eight to protect QB1s blindside for the next four years as long as his ego doesn't get in the way.


OG: Aiden Garfield (Senior)
Seth Cowan (Senior)
Zane Barrett (Freshman)
Bryce Dixon (Freshman)

Nathan Long and Pa Soley are both gone and in their place, Aiden Garfield and Seth Cowan will have to step up. They served as backups last season and while they aren't that bad, there was also a reason they didn't start. The interior of this offensive line could prove to be problematic and those problems could be amplified with a lackluster running back core. Barrett gives hope for the future as a raw prospect while Dixon has much to prove.

C: (C) Mark Harper (Junior)
Carey Goodman (Sophmore)

After backing up Briana Cleverland for a season, Mark Harper played well in his first season as a starter. He's the only returning starter from last year's O-Line and has been elected a captain showing how much his teammates respect him. Carey Goodman will back him up as a low end recruit who barely made the team.


DE: Amari Wright (Sophmore) - Schima Bas
Omar Tran (Freshman) - Valanora
Lucy Hardy (Junior)
Montel Blanchard (Freshman)

The defensive end group is yet again another group that lost its two starters from last year with the absolute beast in Robert Lawrence and Taylor Coley departing. However it's possible Amari Wright and Omar Tran are even better this season. Wright really emerged at the end of last season getting better every single week and there were calls to start him over Coley by the time the playoffs rolled around. By all accounts Wright has had a fantastic camp even putting on a bit of muscle as he continues to show off his work ethic. Omar Tran is a slightly undersized Vanorian pass rusher but he is a great character and a work ethic that rivals Amari Wright. Apparently Wright and Tran have really hit it off this summer and while Tran is sure to experience some freshman struggles, he definitely has the talent to make an impact.


DT: (C) Dakota Cannon (Senior)
Patrick Spencer (Junior)
Myah Duggen (Senior)
Dana Stuart (Freshman)

Once heavily recruited Dakota Cannon continues to be the best pass rusher on the interior, and has been a very good starter since day one. Patrick Spencer will start alongside him while Duggen and the young Dana Stuart will rotate in.

LB: (C) Mark Lundin (Junior) - Valanora
Greg Mcloud (Junior)
Hugo Stubbs (Sophmore)
Guy Davie (Sophmore)
Gage Wilksonson (Freshman)

Mark Lundin was a big get for this defense and was thrust into playing time immediately as the signal caller for the defense. Next to Lundin will be Greg Mcloud who graded out much improved in coverage last season in his first year as a starter and was a high level recruit in his own right. The Mcloud-Lundin starting duo will surely be a strength throughout the next two years with Hugo Stubbs looking like a more than proficient backup.

CB: (C) Kristen Werther (Junior) - Ranoria
Mary Davison (Senior)
Colin White (Freshman)
Sally Hope (Sophmore)
Joseph Vickers (Freshman)
Clay Ellwood (Sophmore)

Kristen Werther returns after an up and down season as our #1 corner. She showed her talent often but in a conference loaded at the receiver position, she was beat sometimes. Nevertheless her swagger returns and many are expecting a breakout year from the junior corner. Mary Davison was the 4th corner last year and Colin White comes in after being the 12th ranked recruit in Kohnhead a year ago.

S: Samuel Church (Senior)
Rex Bottlenick (Sophmore) - South Newlandia
Kendall Ponce (Sophmore)
Garrett Malone (Freshman)

Samuel Church returns for his senior season as the starting free safety after a very very good junior season which was helped in part by the talent in the rest of the secondary. Next to him will be the former 4th ranked recuit out of South Newlandia in Rex Bottlenick as the strong safety, Bottlenick has a bright future here at KCU after a good freshman campaign.

K: Olly Bloom (Freshman)

P: Piper Rossi (Freshman)

Offensive Scheme: This is quite simply an air raid offense which is reliant on skilled receivers a quarterback who's accurate, smart, and has a strong arm and will pass 70% of the time approximately although depending on the progression of running back Sellers this could change. While some may say it's a basic offensive appraoch it works the way it does and should allow especially in a high scoring Big Eight for Swisston City to consistently put points on the board. Running backs will have a job out of the backfield catching passes and will still get a decent amount of carries, we will carry tight ends on the roster however they will not start and will mostly be used in red zone packages.

Defensive Scheme: The defense will operate out of a base 4-3 formation and will utilize a lot of the common cover two defense. The linebackers need to know how to cover yet also need to know how to stop the run and blitz if necessary. The defensive line will as expected feature pass rushers and at Swisston City they are not really emphasized relying on schemes, blitzes, and finding weaknesses to get pressure as opposed to basic front four rushing. The corners will stick to a side of the field and not on a person although man defense is the base and the safties will each try to take away a half of the field deep without a roving strong safety that many teams use.

Loyola-Istria Preview- with Zervos returning as the prodigal son, can he lead his alma mater to the promised land?


Loyola-Istria players at training camp

ISTRIA, MORAVICA- "I've got some shoes to fill, that's for sure." Said the team's brand new head coach, Dennis Zervos. In what might be the most hyped hire in Banijan sporting history (NSCF champion and Most Outstanding Player as a QB at this school, two-time NSCF champion as a Coordinator, and RFL champion as a head caoch), the storyline is going to revolve around him. Pressure is through the roof- replacing a championship winning head coach, who had replaced a two-time champion head coach. The pressure's always on at a school like this- the support is there, but the story is too.

Everything's new at Loyola-Istria this year. New head coach. New QB. New WR1. No more Abram Fairbanks. Divisional play. Big 8 v. Celestia Challenge. And yet, much remains the same. Russell Farmer at the center of what is expected to be yet another high-powered offense. They're the two-time defending Celestia Conference champions. Hell- they beat Richardson. Is this team, with one of the most passionate fanbases in the sport, capable of yet another run at this level?

We shall see...

Quarterback

Anne-Maurice Vavayavich of Chromatika, the true sophomore, will be the starting QB for the Blue Thunder this year. There wasn't exactly much up for debate here- while she was third string last year as a true freshman, sitting behind Bunama Diawara and Craig Juniper, everyone figured she'd jump Diawara and become the team's QB1. Diawara made the smart move and transferred as soon as last season ended, taking the reigns at the University of Constantinople in New Gesem. And when Zervos was hired, it took him less than 2 weeks to declare Vavayavich the team's QB1- just halfway through the team's spring practices.

She basically rode a crazy senior year to this moment, as well as an insane playoff run. In a 5 game playoff run to the high school national title in Chromatika her senior year, she threw for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns, with no turnovers, en route to winning a national title. "I've seen her high school tape- that alone shows you exactly what she's capable of." Dennis Zervos said. "Not everybody's capable of that kind of playoff run." While obviously starting her as a freshman was out of question, she's got the talent to succeed at this level. While less mobile than most Loyola QBs, she's got pinpoint arm accuracy, as well as a massive arm. And, of course, stands out for her specialized gloves she wears, something you never see QBs do in Banija(mostly because of this country's lack of winter).

The question is- can Zervos unlock it? "Zervos has coached a ton of star QBs, both as a coordinator, and Gwenderyn herself in the RFL, to great success." Said a Banijan college football TV analyst. "He's certainly capable of unlocking it. The only question is, is she ready for the moment? It is said that she essentially overcame a mental block to explode in her senior year. But whatever pressure she had at Vitoron, it'll be that times 100. There is no higher pressure position than Loyola QB in the NSCF, and she's going to have to be ready."

She won't have an easy start, as the Blue Thunder have a brutal opening schedule. Back to back road games in South Newlandia to start the season, visiting Elephant Valley in week 1, before a short week turnaround to travel to the Jungledrom in Week 2 on a Friday night. And then, of course, week 3- the home opener, against Northern Moravica. "Those games will set the tone for her." The analyst said. "Ironically, starting away from home could almost make things easier. The pressure really won't be riding on her until week 3, when the Cougars come to town. Can she get it done under the brightest lights?"

Coaching Staff Changes

Of course, there's a new head coach for the Blue Thunder. And his name is one that you've definitely heard before- Dennis Zervos. We all know his history. NSCF 13 and 14 QB for Loyola-Istria. NSCF 14 Most Outstanding Player, and champion. Pro playing career never got off the ground because of injuries. 8 seasons as the Blue Thunder offensive coordinator, with two titles. RFL champion as a head coach, with Sarai Gwenderyn as his QB, in Ranoria. And now, back at his alma mater- with his own father, Patrick Zervos, as his boss.

"Who is more passionate about Blue Thunder football than Dennis Zervos himself?" Said Dr. Ruhamah Odede, the school's President. "We could think of no better ambassador for this university." Obviously, the university paid a hefty buyout fee to his RFL team, but for good reason- look at that resume." He's been known as an offensive genius for years, getting high-powered offenses at both the collegiate and professional levels. The fanbase is certainly more than ready for him.

Of course, with a new coach, comes new assistants. Neither of the previous assistants were fired- but they wanted jobs elsewhere. The old quarterbacks coach, Raila Abura, is now the team's offensive coordinator. And the new defensive coordinator was another old player on the NSCF 14 squad, Uhuru Besigye. "We're assembling a best in kind coaching staff here- even if we have new faces at the crucial positions." Said Dennis Zervos at his opening press conference. "We're going to be ready for whatever challenges await us."

Who will emerge at WR?

The #1 receiving target, of course, is Russell Farmer. He's going to have a hell of a season at tight end- hell, he might be the most impactful tight end in the NSCF since his own older brother himself, and two time world champion, Johnny Farmer. "Farmer's got basically an unguardable skillset." Said Loyola's new OC, Raila Abura. "Look at his combination of size, speed, etc... And he's capable of doing anything. He can block, he's got speed, we can line him up on the line or on the outside, etc... There are so many ways we can build a gameplan around him. We plan for him to keep opposing defensive coordinators up at night."

But what about the actual wide receivers? That is where there are question marks. Loyola-Istria recruited two elite WR talents out of HS, Arnas Rønning from Valanora and Xaya Larr from Chromatika. They are both listed as redshirting- although, as Coach Zervos said, the WR depth chart is in flux. "They are redshirting right now, yes- 7 wide receivers is a ton to carry all at once. They're both incredibly young. But if they show enough in practice.. I'm trying to win both today and tomorrow. If we feel that they can outperform the older players in front of them, then yes- I'm not afraid to pull their redshirts and put them in games."

What does that mean? It means a number of things. First? It means that the WR spots are basically wide open right now. We have our opening depth chart, but it is certainly in flux. Players can move up. Players can move down. The freshmen haven't done enough yet to be played, but the fact that Zervos is saying this out loud means a lot. You use that redshirt to keep that extra year of eligibility- and yet, if you pull a redshirt midway through a year, it means you only get a receiver for a partial season, while using a full season of eligibility.

Faraba Condeh is the WR1 right now, with South Newlandian wideout Marcel Schlachter as the WR2. Things will get difficult quickly in this conference, however- starting with 2 road games, and then the North v. South Showdown, they will have to prove themselves quickly. If you think Zervos will have patience for players to grow into their roles, think again.

Army v. Navy Media Day Highlights

Of course, in Banija, the Army and Naval military academy schools start the college football season, starting before the pros or college, on a Saturday all by themselves. Every single BCSG head coach heads down to Busukuma for the game at the Stadium of the Restoration, and conferences generally hold their media days in the leadup to the event. Loyola and NMU head coaches, while obviously no longer competing domestically, still take part in the tradition, and still have their media scrums...

"Truly, it's a feeling unlike any other. It's like your first day of school as a kindergartner. Just unlimited levels of excitement." - Head Coach Dennis Zervos, talking about what it's like to come back to his alma mater as a head coach.

"Alanso Isa has left this program in a great place for the ultimate goal- to win championships. We struggled for some time, but we are back. Back to back conference titles, we beat up on NMU, we wrecked Richardson's undefeated season last year. We have him to thank for quite a lot." - Head Coach Dennis Zervos, talking about the legacy of his predecessor, Alanso Isa.

"It's a year round thing. The lift you get from beating your rivals. We live for that feeling. Northern Moravica, Richardson, etc... Better watch out. We got plenty more of where last year came from." - TE Russell Farmer, when asked about how their win over Richardson last year changes things for this season.

Notes from joint practices with Vricksinburg State in Ranoria

With the new conference format, and the addition of the Big 8 v. Celestia Challenge, Dennis Zervos felt that his team needed a way to improve their offseason practices. "Look- the intensity of this season will be for real. Two road games to start the season. A potential conference championship game. Hell, freaking Kohnhead City comes to town. As we all know, championships are won in the offseason, so we wanted to make sure we were ready."

And that included a trip to.... Ranoria. After taking the team on a bonding, 5 day hike in the BLANK mountains, the team had 10 days of joint practices with Vricksinburg State. "We thought changing the routine, and adding another team to the mix for intensity purposes, would bring a lot of development faster in these players, and ensure we are able to sharpen things up, considering how we start the season."

Of course, pretty much all the practice days were open to the general public, although the scrimmage at the very end of the 10 days was entirely behind closed doors. What did we learn about Blue Thunder football in those days?

#1 No more red jersey- a green jersey for the QB. A small change, but a noticeable one. "You know- I saw Anne-Marie out there, wearing that red, and I thought- what the hell?" Coach Zervos told reporters. "Our top two rivals wear red, and our QB wears the red jersey? Ridiculous. Nope- nobody's wearing red at Loyola-Istria." An early way for Coach Zervos to stamp himself.

#2 Akhello Volson is gonna cause some problems. I mean, we already knew that, right? It's rare you have a day 1, true freshman starter at a program with talent like Loyola, but Volson was one of those. Already CB1. He was everywhere throughout the week. Vricksinburg's QB challenged him throughout the week, and Volson continously answered the call. Knockdowns. Interceptions. Whatever else. He went viral for starting a fight. In a 2 minute drill, he picked off the VSU QB, and ran the ball back to him, flipping it to him and jawing at him as he ran by him to celebrate.

An O-lineman pushed him, and there was a slight skirmish. No fists were thrown- but tensions were ratcheted. "Look, I was a talker back in my day." Coach Zervos said. "If you're gonna talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk- and Volson can do both. I love the intensity he brings."

#3 We've got Blue Thunder & Lightning at halfback. Think of the RB combo the Blue Thunder have. They've got the 6'7, 260 Chromatik, Darrell "The Ball" Jackson. The 5'7 Vanorian Manne Nordström, is only 181. Both excellent at different things- just wearing down the opposing defense. "Look, with this RB stable we've got, we're gonna be able to move the ball on the ground in a variety of ways, in ways you haven't seen Loyola do in a long time." Said Coach Zervos. "How do you prep for both? We've got an embarrassment of riches at the position- it's on us coaches if these guys aren't producing like crazy by season's end."

#4 Russell Farmer is a natural born leader. Look at how Farmer's evolved over the years. Ever since his stunning debut in Loyola's first ever win over Felswyr State, he's grown to become a bigger and bigger part of the offense. But his talent is well-known. It's the little things. Almost like an additional coach on the field- first one to every practice, being the clear leader of the offense, supporting his teammates. He's aggressive, but he's also almost like an additional coach on the field. "Look- I'd sprint through a wall for Russell, he's that contagious." Said the current WR1, Faraba Condeh. "He'll be at the center of our impending successes this season."

Prediction

14-0 and the undisputed #1 seeds.We'll have to see... We're going to say 10-3- but they do not win the Savannah Division. However, 10-3, considering their brutal non-con schedule(v. KCU, v. Felswyr State, @ Richardson) will be enough to earn an at-large playoff berth. Let's see if they can get that elusive 10 win season!

University of Mancodas Team Roster
Stadium: MancodasTown Sports Complex (18,000), Mancodas

About the University
University of Mancodas is the top university in Poafmersia, with the School of Enginerring (SoE), Mancodas Business School (MBS) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) as three of the biggest strengths of the University. The university is also one of the 3 major universities in Poafmersia, including the Maximus Rochester Institute for Science and Technological Research (MRI) and the Fiskadaha School of Liberal Arts (FSLA).

In Poafmersia, universities go by the semester system, rather than by the trimester system used in quite a number of other nations. Poafmers typically have courses between 3-4 years for a honours degree, up to 6 years if going for a masters degree. As high school/junior college programs end at around 18 years old, a year 1 student in Poafmersia typically refers to a 19 years old. Do the math upwards.

Note: In Poafmersia, sports are mostly gender-blind. If a female has better capabilities than a male, then they have equal opportunities to get into the team. As such, whatever in brackets will refer to their gender. The ones underlined are main starters.

Main Team Strategy: Pace and offense goes hand-in-hand for the Mammoths, and they have evolved to using the team's strong stamina as a way of pushing attacks fast and quick. Which also explains why they go all out for offense - they really don't like to sit deep and defend, and once they get the ball, a quick push towards the other end will certainly do them well.

A Short Description of Crown’s College

Universities in Schima Bas differ greatly depending on their geographic location in the country. In the big cities, where higher education was first erected, universities were funded through private-public investment, and were known for having high standards and prioritizing studies. Through the country’s development, however, many foreigners wanted to see their type of university competition for their children.

Therefore, cities, especially Ourelasia, have one or more schools with a football program. There are not enough schools in Schima Bas that play football for a domestic league, so many teams, like the Crown’s College Royal Bears turn to international leagues.

Just because Schima Bas is not known for football does not mean that stadiums are empty or that players don’t want to come to colleges like Crown’s. In fact, a majority of the student body attends home matches, and fanbases have developed in major cities. It’s not uncommon to walk into a restaurant in Alquerdi, far from any of the football-playing colleges, and see a Royal Bears cap or shirt.

Crown’s College has an undergraduate population of 16,000. The university was a premier location for educated talent in the country before the civil war, and has been rebuilding in the wake of the conflict. The old home for the Royal Bears, Old Grant Field, was bombed during the war, and had to be demolished. For years, the Royal Bears did not play a home game. With an influx of Crown money, the university was able to redevelop itself and repair its damaged campus. Campus was opened again 2 years after the war had closed it.

New Grant Field, the recently constructed home of the Royal Bears, sits along the river, where an old association football stadium used to sit. A redevelopment of the area, a short boat-ride from campus, has led to a unique sailgating culture, mixing local traditions with old-world charm.

New Grant Field, Viercourt

Fans have been known to get rowdy, and despite the government’s ban on alcohol, drunk fans have been known to fall into the waters, as proper signage is not an emphasis of Basian planning. Sneaking alcohol into the stadium is considered a right of passage for freshmen, but it’s not all that hard to accomplish as the policy is enforced randomly.

Fans demonstrate their love for the university’s football team by pumping two victory signs, often accompanied by shouting loudly when the opposing team’s offense is on the field. Players often perform this hand gesture, and then point them upwards, forming a kind of crown with their fingers. This gesture was popularized by legendary player and coach Tibbo Grant.

The team’s colors are Gold, White, and Purple. The team plays a white out game annually. This year, the white out game is set for Week 10 v.s. domestic rival Crimson Royal.

Offense

Quarterbacks

Horatio Borus, Sr. Six-foot, 193 pounds.
Great arm but inaccurate, tends to overthrow

Howard Trent, So. Six-foot-one, 190 pounds.
Vocal player with a big arm and great understanding. Confident in his leadership role of the team. From a quarterback family in Huselann. Might challenge Borus for the starting QB spot.

Justin White, So. (RS) Six-foot-two, 185 pounds.
A transfer from a smaller gridiron-playing college in the country, White is a bit of a scrambling quarterback. He needs to develop and will probably see snaps in garbage time.

Running Backs

Harry Thresher, Jr. Six-foot-one, 230 pounds.
Impressive player in high school, Thresher sat out the first 6 games of last season with a knee injury, but was solid for the Royal Bears behind graduating Senior Gary Bearly.

Barry Solace, Sr. Six-foot, 225 pounds.
Less athletic, and more of a straight-up-the-gut runner.

Victor O’Malley. Fr. Five-foot-eleven, 220 pounds
A last minute addition to the team, O’Malley’s potential is yet to be seen.

Wide Receivers

Alphonse Appell, Sr. Six-foot-two, 185 pounds.
Has grown in leaps and bounds. Appell is bound to find explosive plays down the field, and may have grown into the best receiver the program has seen since joining the competition.

Travis Poleam, Jr. Five-foot-eleven, 185 pounds.
Good route runner entering his third year with the program. Had a bit of an off year in NSCF 26, taking a back seat, but achieved major success in his freshman season.

Varick Al-Bumar, Jr. Six-foot-two, 200 pounds.
Strong player with a fierce physicality. Excels in plowing through contact, although he is a slower receiver typically used in short yardage.

Phillipe Sali, Fr. Six-foot-three, 195 pounds.



Tight Ends
Bobby Quarter, Sr. Six-foot-four, 240 pounds.
Good at blocking. Started a small business in Viercourt last year. It was robbed within the first week.

Zifa Olqari, Sr. Six-foot, 200 pounds.
A receiving tight end entering into his senior year.

Ngolo Germani, Jr. Six-foot-one, 230 pounds.
Was used situationally last season as a kick returner.

Loves big hits. Frequently called for targeting last season.

Alexander French, So. (RS) Six-foot-two, 195 pounds.
Great vision and speed to the tackle, excellent tackling technique. Has a bit of a temper, and got into a brawl as a Sophomore in high school, but has calmed down since. Poor academically.

A Short Description of Crimson Royal

Crimson Royal University is a public university in Alquierdi, the new capital of Schima Bas. It has sucked much of the talent from Crown’s College, and boasts one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country, as well as a strong business school.

The Mink have been successful in drawing in talented basketball players, but have not always had the same success on the gridiron.This has changed as of recently, as the school’s humble football grounds have been renovated and modernized. Crimson Royal has also enticed Crown’s College’ Offensive Coordinator Haani al-Dib to be the program’s head coach, a matter that is sure to inflame the already tense rivalry between the two schools.

Red Mesa Grounds, Alquierdi

The team’s colors are maroon and white. The school’s football team is accompanied by a horde of Mink that are attended to by a full-time staff.

Offense

Quarterbacks

Tata Marega, Sr. Six-foot-one, 192 pounds.
Outstanding athlete with quick feet and a solid arm.

Kassoum Aya, So. Six-foot-two, 190 pounds.
Aya possesses a powerful arm, but needs to make better decisions to challenge for the starting spot.

Salim Diallo, Fr. (RS) Six-foot, 185 pounds.
Diallo is the hope for the future of the Mink, and has been redshirted this year to develop behind Marega. He might be able to start next year if Aya doesn’t show signs of improvement.

Running Backs

Jared Hubamo, So. Six-foot, 223 pounds.
Great lateral movement and agility, Hubamo has many years ahead of him with the Mink if he can stay healthy.

Santo Advaje, Fr. Six-foot, 222 pounds.
Finds strength as a receiving wide receiver, he lacks the agility of Hubamo.

Cam Saifi. Fr. Six-foot, 200 pounds
Needs to gain some weight and add muscle before he finds regular starting time.

Godmod Scoring Events: Yes, but stay within realism
RP Injuries to my Players: Maximum of one. Let me know how many weeks they miss and what type of injury it is. The worse the injury, the better I expect the RP.
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Yes, see above. Don't intentionally hurt my players IC.
Godmod Other Events: Ask me before.

I plan on adding breakdowns of the offense, defense, as well as other fluff content for Crimson Royal. I've had some things come up in my personal life, so I hope I can update this by 9/13/22.

Offensive Strategy: Summit typically lines up in the I-Formation, using the size and strength of their line and run game to try and either intimidate or grind down their opponents. Although they are a run-first team, they are not afraid to use the run game to open up passing opportunities downfield.

Defensive Strategy: Summit primarily uses a 4-3 set, not choosing to focus too much on either stopping the run or the pass. The DEs are fast and will attempt to create pressure on the QB and the backfield. There is also a larger emphasis put on breaking up passes than trying to intercept them.

THE IMPERIAL UNIVERSITY OF POMENA ROYALS

About the university: The Imperial University of Pomena is a university that teaches a wide variety of branches that are both related and unrelated to each other. Subjects like astrophysics, multiversal travel theory, history, music, French and Italian advanced language education, sports coaching being some of the most major ones being taught. Initially known as the Ducal University of Pomena, it has been in continuous and uninterrupted operation since 1501, with evidence suggesting classes being held as early as 1388. The Imperial University of Pomena has multiple campuses spread all across the city of Pomena as well as its surrounding areas, due to the big variety of subjects being taught which attract tens and even hundreds of thousands of both undergraduate and postgraduate students from all around Juvencus, from Suntae and beyond. It has been a stepping stone of many bright minds, such as the first Holy Emperor Gianluca IV, multiversal portal travel innovators and astrophysicists Bernardo and Francesca Silva, as well as important composers Silvio Zamorano, Paula Carla Michelin and Augusta De Rocher, among others. It is no wonder that this university is interested in leaving a greater mark in the sports department.

About the team: Pomenienze idiosyncrasy is very aggressive and it translates to every sport, from football, to basketball and most importantly, gridiron. The squad is filled with a lot of fresh talent that mostly study the art of sports, looking to become professional gridiron players, or people who even aspire to leave the sport and become coaches immediately after their tuition is done. So as is expected, most players are aggressive, fast runners whose main goal and anticipation is to bring the best of their game to the field. Throwers are known to throw the balls far yet low, and attacks are usually very unexpected, with even the quarter-backs being threatening. In the defense, gathering around the player possessing the ball like a pack animal is the ultimate goal, since strength is not their strongest suit. Mentally speaking most are not used to playing in high leagues such as the NSCF, usually playing against each other or against local teams in spring and autumn tournaments that do not seem to matter all that much. But, being typical Juven folk they know how to talk smack and use the fiery tempo to their advantadge.

Style Modifier: +4

Like all Drawkians, especially international caliber ones, Sadeg State's players are a top notch group with much to offer skill-wise. The offense primarily operates out of the shotgun with a back lining up alongside the QB, but the most common under-center formation has to be the I. The pistol make a common appearance, and don't be surprised to see a Wildcat every once in awhile. The run/pass split is around a 55/45, but with Brand Manlio's preferred QB recruits, don't be surprised to see many designed passes ending up in scrambles for big chunks of yards. Drag routes, slants, mid-distance crosses, posts, and corner routes are the most common in SSU's playbook. Runs are often a generic pitch, runs up the gut, or - Coach Manlio's favorite - option plays. SSU is known for having massive talent on the offensive side of the ball, especially in the backfield, but also lining up wide. Watch for tight end passes for huge gains, they're a common target in this scheme.

And while the team is renowned for its offense, you can't discount the defense. Talented shutdown corners and DBs are the hallmark and the pass rush is fantastic, but pass defense in the middle of the field leaves a lot to be desired from the Linebackers. The biggest issue about the Skyhawk's secondary is that they go for the ball too much - while this results in lots of turnovers, a missed pick obviously results in an opposing receiver in the open field. Blitzes sit on top of the playbook at SSU, just like many Drawkian books. Don't expect to run a similar running play twice, the front 7 is likely to come up with a counter blitz on the fly and smack the back for a loss of yards. Man coverage is called about 70/30 versus Zone coverage, another reason why missed interceptions are dangerous. Cover 2 Man coverage with a 4-3 front is the most common play the defense will run.

Special teams is known for its trick plays, but they don't run them as often as, say, the Grid Corps would. The SSU offense would be much more likely to stay out in 4th and under 2 than bring out the special teams for a fake or a regular punt/kick. Speaking of punts/kicks, the return game for the Skyhawks is also fearsome, with massively fast and shifty players returning most balls, not to mention the regularity of laterals during returns (not that they do much of that outside of special teams though). As far as kicking, the punters and kickers kick about as good as, say, college kickers or punters. Nothing special there, although they do err on the side of power over accuracy (good luck praying for a kick 6).

Also, see this dispatch about Drawkian physiology. If you don't want to deal with that though feel free to just handwave or ignore it, it's fine by me.

Style Modifier: +5

Similar to Sadeg State and other Drawkian teams that play on an international level, Cavsar University's roster has a lot to offer skill-wise. As far as tactics are concerned, Scott Linhart is an extremely balls-out style coach deserving of a +5 modifier. The spread offense is utilized most often, prioritizing space and the open field for the skill position players. Linhart exclusively recruits mobile quarterbacks, as he expects QBs to make plays with their feet (either designed or on the fly). Running backs are more likely to be quicker, lither guys than big bruisers, but there's usually one that can pack a punch if necessary (often the fullback). Vertical passing plays are quite common, and it's rare for passes to go to the flat or right past the line of scrimmage. Sadeg State is known for aiming at tight ends often, but Cavsar leans on them heavily. Thankfully, they nearly always net a Top 5 TE prospect every time they go for one, so it's not much of a weakness. The receivers, as you might guess, are quick and agile, but perhaps falter when it comes to catching in deep traffic. The playbook is probably 65/35 pass/rush, with shotgun formations being a vast majority of what you'll see.

The Cavsar defense is not known for being bruisers, save for the D-line. You can say that the Cavsar defense or secondary is their biggest weak spot, but their defensive line is always extremely exceptional. It's not uncommon for every starter on the D-line to come away with 1+ sacks on the game each. The secondary can leave some things to be desired, but they're good enough to keep the passing game at bay to allow the D-line to really work their magic. Like Sadeg State and many Drawkian defenses, man defense is often the default and will be what to expect. If you can beat man coverage, you'll have a way easier time against Cavsar, but don't count it as a win just yet. They probably blitz a little less than SSU, but they will still pepper them in often. After all, the D-line usually keeps the pressure happening just on their normal scheme. The defense defaults to nickel coverage most often, but any formation with 4 D-linemen can be expected.

The CavU special teams are not renowned for a lot of trickeration, but you'll see something special every once in awhile. However, they are absolutely aggressive on 4th down, and will usually keep the offense on the field if it's under 3rd and 5. Also, the Gladiators go for two every time, and I mean every time, unless it's a late game situation where a PAT is specifically necessary to preserve or make a win. The punters and kickers don't get a whole lot of work, but the return game is something to fear as well. The blocking is very solid and the quick shifty returners can make a lot happen in the blink of an eye. As far as kicking, the punters and kickers kick about as good as, say, college kickers or punters. Nothing special there, although they do err on the side of power over accuracy thanks to those long Drawkian legs.

Speaking of which, see this dispatch about Drawkian physiology. If you don't want to deal with that though feel free to just handwave or ignore it, it's fine by me.

Firehawks Preview: Odika Given Free Reign as Felswyr State Becomes Offensive

Through the first five seasons of Felswyr State University's history, they've been defined by more players on defense than on offense. Sure, they had the best Quarterback Chromatika has ever seen - one Sarai Michelle Bradwyn Gwenderyn - and she had her favorite target, Alessandra Mio, but on the defensive side of the ball, there were Cara Satri, Mi-Hyeon Park, Sage "Bricks" Sterling, Ozioma Mazzi, Katie Sawyer, Konstantin Vollmacht... They won both of their Championships off of that defense, got another second place finish due to that defense, and a semifinal berth due to that defense.

Now? They have great rushers off the edge in Junior Defensive Ends Aubin Rouzet and Sizo Ashenafi, and they have a monster Outside Linebacker in Nicole Manstrom; Magnus Lindhjem, finally getting a shot at starting, should be decent as a Strong Safety, while Tara Langlois-Zuluka should not be that much of a drop down from Mazzi. However, with Bryan Hilbrand being the new Defensive Tackle and some youth in the rotation, all focus will shift to the Offensive side of the ball - and one Kadesh Odika.

As a Freshman, the Banijan out of Busukuma sat on the bench for most of the season, only coming in during the Out of Conference slate. The best thing that the Firehawks can say about him is that he didn't hinder the title run, and that he built a great relationship with Otto Mitchell, Stan Devlin, and Essa Kayode; the fact that the entire core of Wide Receivers return should help him, while having a dedicated Running Back in Sydney Thomas will take some pressure off of him.

All of the Firehawks' starting Offensive Linemen are Juniors or Seniors - meaning that they have had so much experience both in the game and playing with each other. They will be the strength keeping Odika upright and clearing the way for Thomas, and as long as they do their job, Odika will be able to do his.

This may be the most offensive Firehawks team ever. The defense will try to cause turnovers and go for big plays; the offense will try to play over their opposition and score points in bunches. Shootouts may give some long-term Firehawks fans a cause for concern, but that should be all right for the Firehawks.

They are the defending Champions, after all.

Lava Preview: Masakazu at the Helm, but Defense Still the Calling Card for Staramara Tech

It wasn't a horrible season for the Lava in their second season as part of the NSCF, but it wasn't the best. They made it to a Bowl Game, and they won it; but it wasn't the playoffs.

What they were able to determine, though, was their Starting Quarterback. Haruno Masakazu won the starting job over Liana Anderson, with his poise, his shotgun arm, and his ability to take control of a game. Anderson will be ready to take over when needed, but Masakazu has won it fair and square, and with the Lava getting Isaga Duhaga to complement Gabriele Ziegler after Lana Rhodes' graduation, the Lava's ground attack will be as lethal as ever. Naomi Erehon as a Fullback? A cheat code for free yardage.

Ikuru Bayongo will be the question on the Offensive Line as the only Freshman, while three out of the five are Seniors. However, it's the defensive side of the ball that the Lava are excited about, and for good reason. With six starters that are Seniors and only two underclassmen, the Lava are ready to make life miserable for anyone. Lucius Agot, one of those underclassmen, is actually the Defensive Captain, earned through his poise and his playmaking ability. The Lava's line is good enough to get to the Quarterback on their own, and if they bring in a Linebacker or a Safety, the opposing Offense better watch out.

The goal for the Lava this season is simple: Beat Felswyr State, try to split against the teams from Drawkland, and reach the Playoffs. They know that the Firehawks will be a tough out, but they aren't looking for charity.

"We'll punch them in the mouth," Senior Cornerback Mastaya Vorpen was quoted as saying in a recent interview, "They can either put up or sit down."

[Ranoria]

Move in day for the Richardson University football team - this occurs a couple weeks prior to that of regular students to coincide with the start of training camp

"Mom, it's alright, I've got her." Rylan Rodgers Jr clicked his tongue as his mother hesitantly surrendered the leash, and Juno the golden wolfhound trotted up next to the boy she'd grown up with. Almost as large as him, the two took up the entire elevator if you included the box Rylan was just barely keeping his arms around.

Ding!

Rylan took a step out and almost tripped over his dog, who darted out before waiting on him in the lobby, but he couldn't help but laugh at her after depositing the first box in room 308, right next to the elevator.

"Alright girly," he knelt down to scratch behind his best friend's ears, "I know, I'm excited too."

"I, uh, don't think they allow dogs in here?" Rylan glanced up to his apparent roommate, who looked a bit hesitant to introduce himself, then to the door, where they names were printed in bold red.

"Isaiah?" He asked when he looked back with an extended hand, "I'm Rylan, nice to meet ya."

Juno grumbled at his attention being elsewhere, and he grinned, "Nah, she's a good girl, I can't imagine they wouldn't let her stick around."

---

"What do you mean no dogs are allowed on campus? Living conditions? Have you seen the athletic dorms!? She could have a whole room to herself!"

"I'm sorry sir, if we start making exceptions for you, we have to make them for everyone," a monotone old woman who clearly wasn't being paid enough to pretend to care droned in a very not-apologetic tone. Her eyes never met his, staring off into space, "The dog's going to have to go back home."

"She has a name," Rylan shot back, "It's Juno."

"Mm-hm," she nodded, finally moving her head as she went back to her crossword puzzle.

"Poor ju-ju," Rylan knelt down next to his canine friend, "That's gonna be a long ride home for a good girl."

---

"Sorry about your dog," Isaiah Hunter offered almost sheepishly as they returned to their dorm.

Rylan waved his arms around as he responded, "Man, I'm surprised you knew, what a crazy rule! I mean, everyone loves dogs!"

Hunter bit his tongue - quite literally - when he thought to point out that it was obvious given how little time anyone would have to care for a pet and how irresponsible some college kids could be. "Yep. The handbook specifically prohibits dogs, cats, ferrets, and porcupines to be kept as personal pets."

"Man..." Rylan rubbed his eyes and the two fell into silence. Eventually Isaiah opened up his phone as Rylan stared out the window with a shit-faced grin any mother would have fainted at.

"So, you said it specifically prohibits those certain animals?"

"Well," Isaiah didn't look up, "'Strictly', but it makes no mention of any others."

Rylan practically yeeted the surprised Chromatik quarterback from his chair and dragged him out the door. "Isaiah, I know what we're gonna do today!"

The Best In The Country: Ranoria's Top 6 Recruits For the NSCF 27 Cycle

6: Abigail Washington
North Ashialand, Ranoria

Cornerback
Size: 6-1/175
Handedness: L
Attributes: Disciplined, Consistent, Positive
Archetype: Shutdown

Abigail's your prototypical lockdown corner - she was only targeted 12 times her senior year. Seven of those came in the team's first two contests, where she racked up four interceptions - the other five came against a team that reportedly didn't approve of film exchange and paid dearly for it. A two year captain and having been dubbed the "team mom", she's always got a smile on her face and was an excellent locker room presence. Generally going to stick to her receiver's hip and likes to play press coverage - although she'll need to add some size at the collegiate level to do that effectively - her game is to deny targets and play the receiver's hands. Ran track her freshman year before coming over to play football, she's got speed to burn.

Graduated with an associate's degree, classes won't be an issue.

5: Jared Lincoln
Rouyoutte, Ranoria

Running Back
Size: 5-10/215
Handedness: R
Attributes: Indignant, Forceful, Unyielding
Archetype: Power

Ranoria has a tendency to put out big, tall runners and well, Lincoln fills one of those roles at least. Described as an absolute bowling ball, Jared Lincoln's measurables are above average but far from eye popping. However, he disposes of tacklers like a baby does vegetables - violently and without remorse. Plays are often whistled dead before he actually goes down. Lincoln is the kind of player who can be the heart and soul of his football team - he won't tire on or off the field, or at least won't show it if he does. Expect him to pack on another 10 pounds before his freshman year. Willing receiver but needs polish in that area, nasty pass blocker.

Successful career as a wrestler in high school, did not get taken down once during his senior year.

4: Malachi Mauigoa
Highport, Ranoria

Offensive Tackle
Size: 6-8/340
Handedness: R
Attributes: Tough, Protective, Hungry(literally)
Archetype: Mauler

Mauigoa has all the physical ability to be a highly successful offensive tackle. He's a very physically strong player and an incredible run blocker with a nasty temperament that may have gotten him into a couple spats in high school, but don't we all want that in our lineman?

But that's just the issue - he's a run blocker. Mauigoa was never asked to pass block more than seven times in any one of his games. Mind you, he never allowed a sack, but his team prioritized running the football, and he's achieved proficiency in any blocking style you can ask on that front. He'll need work to make sure his quarterback can stay upright...if you're into the whole passing thing.

Average academics but nothing to worry about, Mauigoa also has two younger brothers who are coming up - could recruiting him be a gateway to a couple more talented pieces? Mauigoa may, however, need to lose weight if anything to get his athleticism back up. He's a big kid and he loves to eat - get a team with a good strength program to dial in that weight loss properly and you'll have yourself an absolute unit. Or keep him at his current juggernaut state - whatever floats your boat.

3: Wade Hurley
Fairfax, Ranoria

Quarterback
Size: 6-6/230
Handedness: R
Attributes: Strong arm, Flashy, Undisciplined
Archetype: Gunslinger

Hurley's the kinda guy anyone who likes arm strength salivates over. He draws comparisons on that front to guys like Ballast Queen, Ifeatu Chineze, or Deondre Rhine - he's got a cannon. In the final minute of a playoff game in his junior year, he avoided an interception when two of a defensive back's fingers broke as he tried to make the pick. He's a bit more mobile than his size would lead one to believe, but this guy's a pocket passer through and through, though he lacks any sort of consistent pocket manipulation or footwork. Heavily relied on his size to shed pass rushers and his cannon of an arm to fit the ball into tight windows, or just throw it over the defense's heads. In other words, everything physical is there. Everything else needs work. As a result, he's a fairly polarizing prospect, but the kid's tough.

Grades are solid, Hurley comes from a rural and strong family background and isn't going to slack on that front, and he's a natural and charismatic leader. He needs good coaching but will lean towards a less urban campus if the opportunity is there.

2: Audrey Neuland
Ranoria City, Ranoria

Edge
Size: 6-4/205
Handedness: R
Attributes: Disruptive, Quick-twitch, Wild
Archetype: Speed Rusher

Audrey's your target for any team that places an emphasis on speedy pass rushers. She played a bit of wide receiver on offense with some success just running by the defense. Needs to build on her pass rush arsenal that is effectively limited to a rip and club, and she'll need to bulk up a bit to handle the rigors of the college game. She has consistently employed a quick arm over in the run game to get into the backfield quickly if a run comes at her, and is more than capable of shutting down RPO's where she's left unblocked or chasing down runs to the other side of the field.

Grades were sub-par - Audrey's weakness is a love for parties and all the alcohol that comes with it. She'll probably prefer to be on a big campus to maximize that, but a smaller school may serve her better in the long run. That said, it hasn't affected her on the field yet.

1: Bradley Bain
Berlin, Ranoria

Linebacker
Size: 6-3/230
Handedness: R
Attributes: Arrogant, Passionate, Spontaneous
Archetype: Run Stopper

If your team's lacking a bit of energy, look no further. Bain wakes up every morning and the second his eyes open, he's running at 100% until he decided to turn in for the night. You'll never find a more energetic kid, good luck keeping up with him, he's going to constantly be in his team's ear with an uplifting, motivating angle. He'll also be in the other team's ear telling them how badly they suck, but hey, that can be curbed, right? Between his mouth and propensity for big plays, Bain will keep a defense gassed up. Like most Ranorian LB prospects not named Najee Isidora, he's a hit-first cover-never player. Great instincts in the run game and likely, if he was taught, in the pass game. If he was coached right, brought into a team that could sharpen up that area, his spontaneity would instantly turn him into a truly complete player.

Poor grades - Bain has a real problem staying focused on anything he isn't interested in and he'll need a guiding hand there.
