Now that we are well into the 2012 EA Sports NCAA Football (PS3 version) season, lets take a look at the starters and the Head Coach and Director of Football Operations.
Starting Offense:
| Pos | Name | Class | Height | Weight | Hometown |
| QB | Tom Andrews | Sr | 6’6″ | 225 | Freemont, CA |
| HB | Marlon Givens | Fr | 5’9″ | 215 | Covington, GA |
| FB | Marshall Rose | Sr | 5’9″ | 229 | Kendall, FL |
| WR | Jeremy Seals | Sr | 6’2″ | 180 | Naples, FL |
| WR | Jay Jones | So | 5’11” | 175 | St Pete, FL |
| WR | Tommy Davis | So | 6’4″ | 190 | Edgewater, FL |
| TE | Chris Bell | Sr | 6’3″ | 223 | Coral Terr, FL |
| LT | Shawn Lynch | Sr | 6’6″ | 280 | Olympia Hts, FL |
| LG | Justin Smith | Sr | 6’5″ | 270 | Warrington, FL |
| C | Eric Allen | Jr | 6’3″ | 280 | Kendale Lakes, FL |
| RG | Preston Williams | Sr | 6″5″ | 280 | Tamarac, FL |
| RT | Andy Swan | Sr | 6’5″ | 268 | Largo, FL |
Your Owls are loaded with seniors this season. This could be bad news for 2013. The brightest spot is freshman running back Marlon Givens. He has played well averaging a bit over 100 yards per game and he has been on and off the Heisman watch radar. He has a promising future.
Starting Defense:
| Pos | Name | Class | Height | Weight | Hometown |
| DT | Marcus Dennis | Sr | 6’2″ | 290 | Greenacres City, FL |
| DT | Andrew Brown | So | 6’1″ | 270 | Winter Garden, FL |
| LB | Charles Boyd | Jr | 6’3″ | 238 | Bellview, FL |
| LB | Dwane Rawls | Sr | 6’2″ | 234 | Chattahoochee, FL |
| LB | Khalif Stovall | Jr | 6’4″ | 230 | Aventura, FL |
| CB | Arron Meade | Jr | 6’0″ | 185 | Ft. Walton Bch, FL |
| CB | Ken McCullough | Jr | 5’11” | 175 | Port Charlotte, FL |
| CB | Myron Allen | So | 5’10” | 170 | Garden City, GA |
| FS | Stan Harris | So | 6’3″ | 180 | Sanford, FL |
| FS | Conrad Jones | Sr | 5’11” | 209 | Miami Springs, FL |
| SS | Darrell Stewart | Sr | 6’0″ | 195 | Brent, FL |
The defense has a bit more class balance. Leading the way are CB Aaron Meade with 4 picks, LB Dwane Rawls with 38 tackles and DT Andrew Brown with 10 sacks. They give up lots of yards but have been very good in the red zone.
Specialists:
| Pos | Name | Class | Height | Weight | Hometown |
| K | Michael Chance | Sr | 5’11” | 180 | Oakland Park, FL |
| P | Eric Brown | So | 5’11” | 160 | Jachsonville, FL |
All I can say about these guys is that they stink, bless their hearts. With weak legs and poor accuracy they can not be relied upon in clutch situations.
