Boise State 27 --- San Jose State 3

Well, it was fun while it lasted... The Spartans (1-3) were simply over-matched today, and had no answer for the Boise State (3-1) RB tandem of Ronnie Campbell (90 rushing yards) and Fernando Fischer (177 rushing yards and 2 TDs). While San Jose State got out to an early 3-0 lead, it would be the only time they had the advantage and would go on to lose by a score of 27 to 3. The Broncos defense did an outstanding job of shutting down RB John Moreno, holding him to a measly 49 rushing yards on 21 carries. Other problem for the Spartans was the fact that its O-Line could not protect QB Tony Lima from the swarming Broncos defense; allowing 7 sacks, 7 stuffs, and 5 hurries. #thisisgoingtobealongseason

Was a tough year and playing the game simply didn't crack the priority list. Just fired up the game for the first time in 7 months, so I will see if I get drawn back into playing.

Western Michigan Broncos -- 2015 Season & Beyond

Well here it is Labor Day weekend 2025. The college football season has begun and it has sparked my interest in BBCF. My San Jose State franchise is long gone, so starting over with the Western Michigan Broncos. Not sure what to expect from the team, but hope to put a quality product on the field and hope for the best.

Team Overview

For the 2015 season, the game generated an 8-game Mid-American conference schedule for me. I then took the liberty to schedule 4 non-conference games. The team enters the season unranked, with a recruiting class of 86th and a strength of schedule of 124th. The Broncos start with a low prestige (35) and are projected to finish 7th in the conference. Despite these challenges, the board believes the team should be "somewhat competitive" this year.

Player Depth Charts

After a spirited training camp, the starting QB nod goes to freshman David Lafleur (1.5 / 2.5 rated). The ground game is led by Eddie Morris (1.0 / 3.5), while the receiving target is Kelley Ricketts (3.5 / 4.0). The defense side of things might be a challenge, and I am really hoping someone steps up and develops quickly.
