I don't know. What I do know is that you post on NCAA Strategies, Odogg. Greg likes to talk about ya

Ask Ben over there. He'll give you the correct answer.

Oh jeez.. I have no idea. We don't even make that game at Tiburon! Do PSP games regularly have demos?

I would think so. Anthony White breaks down film for every team, and he won't ignore Tulsa as it isn't a BCS school cause he himself is a Memphis fan.

One question on the playbooks, for example Briles is now at Baylor, will they have his playbook from Houston?

Answered that a few weeks ago. I'm not sure why that happens.

PSP demos are usually put on the internet to download. Not sure about the frequency though.

When did he get hired? If we was brought in before May, it will probably be there.

I guess I missed that explanation.

It was in November, so that's good.

Adam, great job with the game, thanks for answering questions. I have some playbook questions/attribute question.

I was very pleased to see the addition of the bootleg play where the tight end drags underneath because Minnesota runs that play to perfection. Great job with that.

I was wondering if you incorporated any WR passes, double passes, or reverses into the game this year. FSU's new scheme incorporates that where the WR (Preston Parker) will go in motion take the hand off from Weatherford sweep right and throw deep to Carr. They also run reverses with that sweep and what not. Another play I was curious to see made it into the game was the slip screen/jailbreak screen where the middle o-lineman release up field and a WR/RB drags underneath for a screen.

Also, how come WR's and RB's are so god awful at throwing the ball? Everyone that plays college football can throw a football, so why were RB and WR passes so terrible?

As far as trick plays, have you brought in the over the shoulder fake field goal? Holder takes the snap, throws over his shoulder to the kicker who throws or runs with it.

Thanks in advance!
