Porter's Playbook | The Coaching Career of DJ Porter

[djp73]

Delaware at the tail end of their season:

On the other hand, you still put up a hell of a season, sim defense allegations or not

Fell off! Still got a bit more of this season left before 3/4 of the team transfers or graduates

[djp73]

bit more respectable, sucks that you had to nerf yourself for it though

It is a bit lame to have to do it that way. I want to look at our defensive rankings and see if I can figure out a way to make the D play like our rating in super sim because I would like to remain an OC for a while in this one. For the most part CUSA ratings are pretty even aside from Liberty so maybe it isn’t too unrealistic.
