Did that team get any first downs in the second half?
Yes, they had a pretty good second half, 9 first downs and 14 points. But the Oaks crushed them anyway.

It happened a few times back in the day, I've done it 2 or 3 times, in games I would win 120-0. Sometimes when it happened it would be vs a team with a human coach but all Sim recruits because they quit recruiting/playing. Before they cut back on bonus points, coaches would quit playing for whatever reason but still have credits for seasons, they would use a 5-pack then leave it alone, so their teams were full of terrible players.

Made it through the first half without allowing a first down. Second half pending.

Best I've done is only 1 first down. Believe me we were running in practice the next day for that busted coverage.

They got three first downs and upped their total yardage to 89 in the game after gaining only 30 in the first.

Looks like plenty of gassers and a speech about how to finish games properly for the Oberlin Yeomen this week at practice.
