I am playing as Arizona State and just had a ESPN classic game. I had been doing pretty well on defense through my first 3 games (played Stanford, Wisconsin and Old Miss) and was ranked in the top 30 in defense. Then I got shredded against USC, their QB went like 25-30 for 450 yards and 4 touchdowns, with 3 huge plays downfield where their receiver beat 2 or 3 of my guys for the ball. Also their running back went over a 100 yards and had a 60 some odd yard touchdown where none of my guys were even on the screen. They were up 3 touchdowns at one point but I kept running my offense and chizzled it down to a one score game by limiting them to field goals (they didn't punt once). Unfortunately I just ran out of time to complete the comeback and lost 41-35. It was a lot of fun on offense, super frustrating on defense. It was the first time in video game football where I felt like it didn't matter what I did, I wasn't stopping them. It was made all the more frustrating because it would up being an instant classic, which only seem to come up when I lose.
