Well, in the first year of my LSU dynasty I was 1-3 (with a victory over Texas in the opener) heading into a showdown with #1 ranked Florida at The Swamp. I did exactly what I wanted to do in this game by making it a HUGE defensive battle beings that I suck on offense. To get a picture of just how much of a defensive battle this was I finished with 170 total yards. But check this.... I held Florida to JUST 57 TOTAL YARDS in the game!! 57!!!!! With about a minute to go in the third I'm up 10-0. My QB fumbles at my own 20, they pick it up and rumble in for 7. My very next offensive play Toefield fumbles at my own 25. They score in about 5 plays to go ahead 14-10. With less than a minute left in the game I'm driving and am down to their 35. I run pass play and see my TE WIDE OPEN over the middle. I throw to him and their LB comes out of nowhere's for a game clinching INT. They kneel it to end my dream of the upset. Now I'm 1-4.
This loss wouldn't be so bad if I wouldn't have held them to just 57 yards of total offense. I totally shut down there passing game. They had a mere 2 first downs the entire game. 4 TO's absolutly killed me though, just as they've been doing all season long.
Next up is South Carolina. I badly need a victory b/c with each loss a shot at a bowl game seems further and further away.
Gosh I love this game.
Oh, BTW, I play on AA default sliders, 5 minute quarters.
