You have to use the pocket, be prepared if you see a blitz to get it out to yyour hot read receiver. You have to mix plays up, take advantage of obvious blitzes by hot routing receivers into voids.

Oh, and it helps to max out the pass bllocking slider. )

I agree. I took my first loss in my Bama offline Dynasty last night.

I was playing against Tennessee. I don't know if it was because I was playing a rivalry game or what but, they got after me all game long. The final score was 17-11. I couldn't even manage scoring a TD (3 FG's and 1 safety). The bad thing was that I was leading 11-3 going into the 4th quarter and they came back to beat me in the final 3-4 minutes.

My QB's completion % was around 38%. Which was fine because it had been around 60%. Oh and BTW, I'm playing on Heisman with Phillyfan23's slider's.

I'm having a great time with the game and I can't wait to get home and put a beat down on LSU tonight!!

True, but in real life o-lines do a much better job handling blitzes than they do in the game. In the last 3 installments of this game, including 10, very rarely have I seen the human controlled o-line successfully pick up a blitz, it usually just turns into a jail break for the QB. Of course, the AI-controlled o-line has much better success picking up blitzes, including the hot blitzes coming off the corner. I have always thought since the AI, in the NCAA Franchise, is not very football savvy, it uses sacks and turnovers to balance out the game play.

I do the same thing, and I totally agree. It also helps to step up into the pocket. If they're blitzing, feel where it's coming from and know your outs. Also, don't key on one receiver. A lot of times you'll try to hit one guy because you want to pad his stats or something....it's ok, im guilty of this too.
