One thing I've noticed is that playing FCS teams or the lower level FBS teams leads to bigger leads which leads to near constant passing by the CPU. I actually don't give up nearly as many yards to the better teams because the games are typically closer. I just finished a game against UMass and gave up 294 through the air. But their QB attempted 52 passes. The yards are going to come no matter what if the opposing team gets behind and completely abandons the running game. Ratings aside, the CPU will get its passing yards no matter what if it has enough attempts. Just the way the game plays this year.
