Easy Two Point Conversion
Once you score a touchdown, go to goal line then rollout. When you line up make, sure your wingback is on the right. Snap the ball, then rollout right. Your quarterback now has the option of throwing (to the tight end recommended), or running it in.
Kickoff
When kicking off, choose 'Kickoff Left' or 'Kickoff Right', whichever way the wind is blowing. The CPU will almost always pick 'Return Middle'. When you kick the ball, the return man will be alone and your coverage can nail him around the 15 yard line. Be careful not to kick the ball out of bounds.
Cornerback Commentary
If you go to the rosters, you can edit a player's ranking skills. Set catching, carrying, and speed as high as possible for a cornerback and you can make him an effective wide receiver for your team. However, if he drops a pass Lee Corso will say ' He's better at deflecting passes than catching them!' Corso only says this if he was not already set as a receiver. The message usually is heard with a created cornerback put into the WR position.
Identifying Man-to-man Coverage
When on offense, set a person in motion. If he is followed, the defense is using man-to-man coverage.
Recommended Defensive Plays
Play as Oklahoma and go to the 4-4 Defense. Call Mad Dog Blitz and no play can get past it.
Winning College Classics
To win all of the College Classics, play one of them. Go to the AI settings and change the CPU's settings to all negatives and yours to all positive.
Big Plays
When you get a QB crossed over the line by having a profile to get, you can cross the line of scrimmage and still throw the football.
Crowd Chant
If you are playing at home and score a high amount of points and dominate the other team, each time you make another big play the crowd will start chanting 'We are number one'. You also may need to be ranked number one.
Longer Punts
Choose to punt out of bounds left or right. The defense will not go into punt coverage. Simply move the arrow to the middle of the field and just boom it. If a returner does get back in time to field it, he will muff it most of the time. This works great for making sure the opposing team has a long field to work with, as well as getting your Punter All-American status.
Easy Punt Blocks
To block punts, its easier to turn the offsides penalty off to get a head start on the offensive line. Choose a corner or a running back (someone that is fast enough and tall enough) and do one of the two; blitz the kicker and tackle him, which takes yardage off your opponent's rushing yards in the game, or jump and block the kick. This is not a play that works all of the time. However it usually works in the punt return play, and not the punt block play. Also, it never hurts to use a little play action once every series or so.
