The Setting:
So I'm playing as Oklahoma State and I am in year 2 of the dynasty. 3rd game I play Clemson has home. I am ranked 19th (10-3 last year, wow!) and Clemson is ranked 25th. I play on 8 min qtrs, adjusted Heismen, on normal speed and have about 60-75 offensive plays game. OSU ratings are B+, B and B.
Clemson is B+, B+ and B. Now on to the game.
1st Qtr:
I come out and move very easily down the field with my air raid offense. Get down to the 15 and stall out had have to kick and 24 yard field. Great opening drive right. Clemson lines up and pounds the rock down my freaking thoat. 8 play 72 yards and 16 yard TD run by ellington. I am thinking at this point aww shit! The rest of the qtr both of us move the ball well but seem to stall out around mid feild.
2nd Qtr:
There qb Parker turns into freaking John elway and hits out route after out route, moving down to the 8 yard line. Clemson choose to try and pound out the run for 2 straight plays and get stuff both times for a few yards. It is now 3rd and 5 on the 5...Clemson comes out 5 wide. Clemson calls curls and I am in press so everyone is blanketed. WRs break off their routes and Parker finds #85 in the corner wide but he drops the ball! (raining thank god). Clemson kicks field goal. My turn! I move all the way down the feild with mix of Y-splits, zone reads and quick slants. Finally I find a streaking slot wr Josh Cooper uncovered for a 24 yard td pass....Then ol' John Elway takes the field again. Kid is fire finding open guys after open guy and if they are not open he scrambles for 10 yards. 12 seconds to go and Clemson is on 9 yard line. And the mircle happens, a diving INT by my OLB in the flat...HALFTIME score 10-10.
3rd and most 4th qtr:
We trade blow after blow. If I score a TD they score a TD. If they fumble the ball I fumble ball.
With 3:30 left on the clock score is tied.
3:30 in the 4th and beyond:
This is where this game becomes legendary. With 3:30 left I have the ball on my 38 yard line. First play I run zone read and see the DE bite...as well as everyone else on the field!!. I see wide open field for 60 yards and with my 80 speed qb, start trucking down the feild, to the 50, to the 40, to the 30, to the 25. Tackled at the 22 yard line. Time to run the clock so I go conservative and run 2 straight run plays..big mistake. Now I'm at 3rd and 11 on the 23 yard line. I come out 5 wide my primary read is a fade route in the corner with my primary WR. I hike the ball 2 seconds left, wr makes the cut and is wide open. I throw the ball...drop.
(going to have to continue when i get home)
