My reccomendation to anyone playing race for the Heisman...don't be a RB. It's just too boring to play a guy that isn't fast.

As far as the '06 Hawkeyes...

Offense: Tate is a 99. Three good HBs (not counting me). Two very good FBs. O-line is mediocre. WRs are burners, but high 80s overall. A good blocking TE, and Chandler is a solid recieving TE.

Defense: D-line is pretty solid, with #99 as a 90. LBs, other than #27 are pretty bad. CBs are decent. Safeties are very good.

Overall, the '06 Hawks aren't as good IMO. Better on O, but worse on D. Maybe if I had recruited myself rather than simulating, I could have got an impact freshman or two.

The problem isn't RftH mode necessarily, it's Varsity level. Of course, that can happen on any level if you're good enough. On 2004, I was playing a dynasty as Utah State and in my 2nd year, recruited an 81OVR RB with 97SPD. He rushed for 2000 yards as a freshman, over 9 yards per carry (far and away an all-time record). That was on Heisman level.

I'll be out with some sliders soon. And I don't think you always get the same slow RB, mine had 84 SPD.

On the 06 Hawkeyes roster -- Tate can spread the ball. I've found that using Chandler, Melloy, and Brodell at TE works really well for passing, but it hurts the running game a bit. Hinkel and Solomon are just solid, and Solomon can make people miss. The guy I'm most surprised with is Calvin Davis. Part of it is that, because he's in the slot, there's often mismatches. But the guy is REALLY fast.

On defense, both DE's (Kenny Iwebema and Bryan Mattison) are doing pretty good.
