That play by play is definitely troubling. I hope that WIS management looks into it and identifies how it's possible to be that precise in your playbooks/gameplanning.

On another note, one take away for the general user is that despite this apparent exploit his on-field results are not much better than his teams talent rating. He's figured out a way to be in the best possible position defensively and still hasn't drastically overshot his team talent in terms of results. This game is definitely about the billy's and joe's and not much to do with the X's & O's.

7 Year Average Talent Rating: 6.3
7 Year Average Finish: 4.6

Damn, you guys are making me out to be a villain here. I set CB2 to 100% blitz against wishbone and Notre Dame Box. My logic was that you can't double team so instead of cb2 playing with his dong out in cyberspace I'd have him blitz. Considering the DB ended up with 1tkl the entire game I don't see how it negatively impacted Carson Newman. If anything I should be ****** that he wasn't blitzing on passing downs considering I was up 10 with 7:28 to go in the game. A sack may have been the difference in the game. I used the DB1 depth chart and put 3 guys in that were not playing CB1 or S. Hoping to have a fresh DB blitzing constantly. I did use same game plan against raginirsh, but with different depth charts. Holdaway, I don't think I used a 4-4 against you. Don't you use Pro Set? I would have used 3-4, and if I did play 4-4 I would have blitzed a LB.

I don't think that is it. I run the 4-4, and I am able to blitz my CBs/FS on pass plays.

I will say it is interesting that your opponent is relatively new and has had so much success. And how did he jump right into a D-II school after being out of the game for 123 seasons?

Mamberso, it only takes once season in D3 to move up. I have a lot of seasons under my belt in the older engines. I got re-acquainted with this version in another word. Took Humboldt when it opened up.

No villain. But it was an interesting set of results. There was a LOT of talk a while back that there might exist some "secret sauce" that some coaches were using. I'm not aware that any specifics have ever been stated...more of a "something is weird" going on.

It's all good. Welcome back.

Thanks Harriswb3

Ahh...didn't know that. My bad.
