Ouch

Looks about right. That happens several times a game in my games they just don't always go for touchdowns

Arkansas State knocks off the Vandals 48-34

In a game that wasn't as close as the score indicates, the Red Wolves offense was only slowed down by themselves. ASU managed 610 yards of offense, but also shot themselves in the foot with 5 turnovers, all from QB miscues. HB Johnston White put together 121 rushing yards on 12 carries and also added 5 receptions for 70 yards with 3 total touchdowns. True Fresman HB Alex Turner carried the ball 22 times for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns of his own. Adding to the run game, QB Tajhea Chambers carried the ball 6 times for 129 yards and a score adding to his 17/20 passing for 184 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions.

Defensively, the Red Wolves attempted to be a bend-but-don't-break defense allowing 501 yards of offense (including 376 yards passing) but a 58 yard run by Idaho HB Aaron Duckworth broke them early on. From there, it just became get a few stops and outscore the opponent.

Arkansas State starts their season off 1-0 but next continue their tough road schedule as they return out west to face the #15 Oregon Ducks. Don't be surprised if the football team decides to take the next week of classes as correspondence just to save their bodies from massive jetlag.

That was the only time it happened quite like that... the rest of the game was much better I'd say.

Overall, I think the sliders are pretty good. They're never going to be perfect but I think against good competition will offer a good challenge.

[skipwondah33]

Oh there are always several back to back broken tackles for me. I always expect the CPU to break the first 2 tackles every play seriously.

Sliders are fine just haven't been able to tackle worth a damn on any of them lol

[JeffHCross]

Guys, I won't be able to play my game until Saturday morning. I'll try to get my recruiting in before then, but if you were willing to wait, I'd appreciate it.

Haha...Maryland loses again this time 29-15 to #25 Arizona.

Game was 20-14 after Arizona scored but missed PAT in 4th....and then this happened on ensuing kick.

Man was moving on his own for some reason...I wasn't controlling him...then the dumb assess dive on the ball causing a Safety.

Wildcats get ball back and run down the field and score.

Arizona QB Conner "the Terminator" Brewer all 68 BTK and 42 TRK of him had 172 yards rushing and 2 TD's breaking tackles at will on scramble and run plays. He had 109 on 7 carries in the first half alone. RB had 186 yards on 16 carries.

Needless to say we were ran all over for the 2nd consecutive game by a QB and RB.

For a Dline that boasts the following ratings is horrifying the lack of any stopping or simple tackling that can't be done.

85, 84, 86, 83 OVR's.

Onto next week against a West Virginia which sure will be fun
