Haha that's usually what I'm going for. I limit my mistakes by controlling the ball and more often than not, that frustrates my opponent into feeling the need to score quickly and I feast off those mistakes.
The guy I just played was Texas to my Nebraska. He got the ball first, marched down the field and scored. I got cocky with a 3rd down and long pass which he intercepted and it let to another TD. I was down 14-0 in 3 minutes. But I got the ball back and just went right back to my thing. Grind it out, control the football and see if it can lead to a big play, which it did, a 50 yard triple option touchdown out of Pistol Full House. I made an adjustment defensively, forced an INT and marched down the field and scored again.
It was only a tie game but he panicked because I adjusted and came back, which forced another INT before half which I turned into another TD 3 seconds before halftime.
Ended up winning 31-24. Just wore him down, control the clock, forced him to panic and that's when it snowballed for him.
That is PowerOfRed football right there. I don't even use conservative tempo either, just run the football, rack up first downs and go home a winner. I do it with any offense too, spread option, under center option, even air raid.
