Following. Nice start to the season. Wondering if you can beat SC like the Cardinal did in real life.

Just played the game. Jumped on them 21-0 and had a 24-7 lead at halftime. It was 34-13 late in the 3rd quarter and USC scored a TD to make it 34-20 heading to the fourth. They scored two more touchdowns in the fourth to force OT. I win the toss, go on defense first, and hold them to a FG. Got a holding penalty on my first play on offense and was put in a 1st and 20 hole from the 35. Completed a long pass over the middle to the 17 to set-up 2nd and 2. Ran the ball down to the four yard line to set up 1st and Goal. Scored on a game winning TD run on the next play for a 40-37 win and...

THE GAME FROZE on exit. So mad right now. I'm sure now, when I replay the game, I'll lose something like 45-21. Great. I mean after struggling for 2.5 quarters against San Jose State and Fresno State, I finally got off to a great start against a really good team, almost choked, but still pulled off a win in an epic game against the #2 team in the country. My offense was a machine the first two quarters. Nunes was something like 17/21 passing and Stepfan Taylor was averaging 7-8 ypc and was flirting with 200 yards again. Doubt I can match that start against a quality opponent again.
