College football season is upon us again, my friends. Last night, LSU and USC competed in their first 'official' game of 2024, facing each other in the Modelo Vegas Kickoff Classic at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas,Nevada (the same stadium where the Raiders have been playing since the 2020 NFL season). In a stunning result, USC--who entered the season ranked #23 in the AP poll, and are now competing in the Big Ten conference after spending more than a decade in the Pac-12--defeated the #13 LSU Tigers, winning by a final score of 27-20, scoring a touchdown with just eight seconds remaining. Jo'quavious Marks sliced and diced LSU's rather porous run defense, with sixteen carries for 68 yards (averaging 4.3 yards on the ground) and two rushing touchdowns, including the aforementioned game-winning score. (If you're like me and you like to use sports-reference.com, don't bother searching for 'Woody Marks' as such a player does not exist on the site. You will have to use his birth name, Jo'quavious Marks.) In the spirit of honoring the true start of the 2024 season (after 'Week 0,' a series of exhibitions the week prior that do not count towards any team's official record), I decided to put away "Madden NFL '95" for a while and bring back an old favorite, "Bill Walsh College Football '95." While I had wanted to fire up the original "Bill Walsh College Football," it did not have LSU or USC, whereas the sequel does. (Interestingly, it did not have Florida State either, a.k.a. the team that completed the last true 'trifecta' in college football by entering the 1993 season ranked #1 in the AP poll, had one of its players [Charlie Ward] win the Heisman Trophy, and wound up winning the national title; while the 2004 USC Trojans are technically the most recent team to pull this off, their Orange Bowl win and accompanying BCS title were later vacated as part of sanctions levied against USC following an investigation by the NCAA.) In an effort to try and predict the result of last night's contest, I pitted LSU against USC, giving LSU home field advantage by virtue of their superior preliminary rank by the AP. LSU wound up winning 49-33, fending off a furious comeback attempt by USC after being up 35-3. Taking a look at the numbers--having had to find the names myself since NCAA regulations didn't allow college players to profit off the use of their likenesses--there are some interesting people on both teams, a few of whom went on to play in the NFL. First, the LSU players. Jamie Howard went 22/51 with 254 passing yards, three touchdowns, and ten interceptions. (USC had quite a defensive line back in those days.) Robert Toomer recorded thirty-seven carries for 31 yards, his longest carry yielding 13 yards. He did not score a single touchdown, but also did not fumble or drop the ball. Again, USC's defense held them in check. David LaFleur was responsible for two of Howard's three passing TDs, and had four receptions for 41 yards (his longest reception being a 20-yarder), two touchdowns, and just one drop. Andre LaFleur went a perfect seven for seven on PATs, and never got to try a field goal at any point in the contest. Gabe Northern, one of the better-known defenders on LSU's defensive line in those years and another player who eventually went to the NFL, recorded ten tackles. Sheddrick Wilson finished with seven receptions for 183 yards, but did not score a touchdown and also had one fumble. USC's numbers are also quite fascinating. Rob Johnson went 24 for 60 with 444 passing yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs (a perfect 1:1 ratio, which while not excellent is significantly better than how Howard performed). Ed Hervey was nothing short of superb, showing perfect chemistry with Johnson as he had three receptions for 48 yards (his longest going for 33 yards), and caught both of USC's passing TDs. He also did not fumble or drop the ball once, which is always good if you want to win football games. Cole Ford got the job done on kicking for USC, going two for two on field goals (including a 33-yard attempt that was successful), and three for three on PATs. Jeff Kopp was the only USC defender to complete the 'tackle/sack/INT trifecta,' recording five tackles while sacking Howard once and also intercepting him once. Having emerged victorious over USC, though in real life they failed to beat the Trojans last night, I decided to pit them against Florida State this morning. Though FSU had lost their star quarterback, with Charlie Ward graduating and opting to play in the NBA after very little interest was shown by the NFL (which is understandable for a man who stood 6'2" and weighed 190 lbs), they still had many of the pillars of that remarkable championship season, and dominated on LSU's own field. When the final whistle sounded, Florida State had absolutely crushed the Tigers, taking it by a final score of 59-24 and scoring eight touchdowns to one lone (and successful) field goal attempt. The numbers do a good job of illustrating Florida State's superiority, but one thing that isn't shown by the numbers is how Florida State got their last of those eight touchdowns: with under five seconds remaining a Florida State defender managed to recover a return from their own punter in LSU's endzone and accounted for six of the last seven points scored by the Seminoles. A shocking gaffe by LSU, and in more ways than one the final nail in the coffin in a game where, aside from when they went up 3-0 on an early field goal, they never led at any other point in the 'contest.' Danny Kanell went 17/47 with 411 passing yards, three touchdowns, and six interceptions. (Jamie Howard's numbers, as you may expect, were actually worse; though he had more passing yards [572 to Kanell's 411], he only had one passing TD and threw five interceptions, achieving a worse TD-to-INT ratio.) Warrick Dunn, the future NFL legend, had 39 carries for 49 yards (his longest going for 15 yards), plus one rushing touchdown. Phillip Riley proved a reliable target for Kanell, with six receptions for 122 yards (40 the longest) and one touchdown, while never fumbling or dropping the ball. Scott Bentley connected on the Sems' only field goal attempt from 36 yards out, while going eight for eight on PATs. Last but not least, Derrick Brooks--a player so generationally gifted that he wound up proving a crucial part of Tampa Bay's D-line in the 90s and 2000s, winning a Super Bowl in early 2003 and getting his #55 retired--completed the defensive trifecta with eight tackles, plus one sack and one interception of Howard. For LSU, the numbers are not quite so good. Sheddrick Wilson had nine receptions for 242 yards, with his longest going for 67 yards, and one touchdown. However, he also fumbled the ball once and had two drops, which is never good if you want to win football games. Andre LaFleur went six for eight on his field goal tries, and never got to attempt an extra point, as LSU's lone touchdown was followed up by an unsuccessful two-point conversion. Allen Stansberry proved the brightest spot on LSU's D-line, and also completed a trifecta by recording seven tackles, plus one sack and one interception of Kanell. Thanks to a notification pertaining to one of my favorite channels on YouTube, I found out that FSU is due to play their first 'official' regular season game today, as they take on the Boston College Eagles. As both teams are in Bill Walsh '95...hmmm! That gives me an idea! Let us see what happens!
