Florida State is probably the best team in the game. So much speed on the defense, that you'll stop Troy Smith with you fast DE's outside contain and Ernie Sims on blitz, almost every time he tries to scramble. Just use a 3-4 cover 3, it will shut down everything except the tradition hand-offs, and it even does a pretty good job at those. Also use a lot of the 3-3-5 All Out Blitz to stop runs if your friend isn't passing much (audible to it from 3-4, so your friend won't know). Even though your offense is a B-, Xavier Lee and Leon Washington running option in
I-form twins is unstoppable, when you have your audibles as speed option and power option, and mixing them with runs like HB slam, HB iso, and HB lead toss from the same formation, as well as the deep pass play. You'll win every time as long as you keep running the ball and don't mess up your pitches.
