Playing as Colorado, I faced Oregon twice in two years and lost both games, decisively. Mariota and the zone option killed my gassed defense. And when I'd figure out a way to stop them, they'd kill me with screens to De'Anthony Thomas or bombs to Josh Huff.

Well, in year 2, with some luck due to UCLA and USC both collapsing mid-season, Colorado was able to win the Pac 12 South behind the arm of redshirt freshman Sefo Liufau and was heading to the PAC 12 Championship game where would face, guess who, Mariota and the Oregon Ducks.

Except, as luck would have it, Mariota was unable to start the game due to an injury that while would only keep him out a week or two made it impossible for him to play in the Pac 12 title game.

Needless to say, the offense was considerably predictable and while Jake Rodrigues attempted his best Mariota impression, they failed to dominate as they have in the past.

Won the game on a last second field goal, 35-34, because Oregon for whatever reason attempted a two point conversion in the third quarter and failed.

Colorado was then considered the best 12-1 program at that point in the nation and would go on to beat #1 undefeated Alabama for the 2014 National Championship in a game where their QB, Blake Sims threw four interceptions, two of which came on Alabama's first two drives, allowing Colorado to take an early 17-0 lead from which Alabama would just not recover. For whoever is wondering, Sefo Liufau also won the Heisman becoming the third redshirt freshman to win the award in as many years (in my game, Jameis Winston won it in 2013).

To put it into perspective how crazy the win was against Alabama, just know Alabama won the whole thing in 2013 in my game. That means up until the 2014 game, Alabama won 4 titles in 5 years, and were heading for their 4th in a row if only Blake Sims would have remembered his team wore crimson jerseys, not white on gold.

I found it hard to begin the 2015 season due to feeling way too accomplished, too soon. The problem is with Yukon46s rosters, it's nearly impossible to lose with Sefo Liufau behind center. He's a pocket passer but has damn good speed and scored on quite a few 25+ yard touchdown scampers throughout the course of the season.
