Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

Quadruple overtime loss to Nevada using my created team.

Three way tie in the WAC going into the final game, all I had to do was beat lowly three win Nevada and I'm conference champ. I figured I'll hang 40 points on them by halftime and sub out my starters the rest of the way for the Hawaii Bowl, instead Nevada shows up to play and I spent most of the game playing from behind.

It was one of those games where I was in disbelief at how good they were and continued to play loose and make huge mistakes. By the time the ball sailed over my TEs head on a failed quadruple OT 2-pt conversion play I was seriously shocked; dropped to third place in the conference and that was that.

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

My closest finish was PITT 3 - PSU 0. I kicked a FG on my opening drive and that was it. PSU missed 4 FG's (3 40 some yarders and a 30 yarder that hit the left upright) and I missed 2 others (both of which hit the crossbar) lol. It was the craziest defensive game I had ever played. Neither team even made it into the redzone.

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

I also had a four overtime thriller against Michigan State that I won 46-40 when I picked their quarterback off in the endzone.

Wayy back, in a Western Michigan dynasty, I was playing the Rockets in Toledo. With like 30 seconds left, they scored a touchdown to go up by one. But on the two-point conversion, I picked off the pass and took it the other way for two points and a one-point victory

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

My closest/best/most fun game. Just recently happened in my online dynasty. Year 6 FSU (me) vs Miami (other guy). He scores with 56 seconds left in the game to take the 31-27 lead. He is smart and playing quarters defense against the pass. I'm facing a 3rd and 11 and this happens:








That sets this up two plays later for the win!








It was a great back and forth game the scoring picked up in the second half. It was 10-10 at half time.

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

I was Texas going up against Texas Tech in Lubbock. I was ranked 3rd in the country at the time. I ended up losing the game 62-59 in 3 OT's. Very disappointing as my National Championship hopes ended.

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

Just finished this one:

#6 Troy State (10-0), looking for a few upsets of at least or 4 of the 5 other undefeated teams to even get in a bowl game, let alone the MNC (NCAA 04, released when TSU was an independent), playing 3-6 Vanderbilt, who was also looking at the possibility of a bowl. 17-10, not my usual dominance, but I had to punt to them with 0:57 left in the 4th. I'm able to get a little over 50 yards out of the punt, and they're pinned at their own 39 or so. For some reason I have trouble stopping them for the first few plays, and I give up a 1st down at the 45 (again, rough estimate). But I get into my groove, and it's 4th down with 0:30 left. I nearly had them, until they get a BS jump ball all the way at the 7 So they have 14 secs to make a play after a quick timeout and they have 4 chances to do it. First play, they almost caught it, but I hit him right as it grazed his hand. Second play, they run a single-blocker screen, and I'm able to tackle him at the 4. Third play, 4 seconds, the QB might've made the throw if he had put a little height on it, but I got the deflection. Game over? I looked at the clock and... 1 second left So I have to make one last play. 4th down then. Everyone is able to get behind the zone, so I need to find the ball with my defender. I find it, and bat it right down.



#1 greatest game, baby.

Re: Whats the closest game youve ever been in?

Not Close Just pitiful.

Last year of purdue dynasty. NC game vs USC. was down 3 quarters and was down 28-14 at the end of the 3rd. 5 minutes later, its 28 all and i have the ball at the USC 25-ish yard line, 3 Seconds left.


And i missed it last flick of the joystick. most pitiful kick ever. Wide Right and 5 yards short.

I got the ball first, and sure enough, 3 incompletions later, its same scenario. Can't happen twice right? WRONG.

But thank god i got a pick the very next play.

2nd OT-USC got the ball and scored on two plays.
When i got the ball, i went to by bread and butter dual hitch routes, and scored.

3rd OT-I scored on a 15-yard option keeper. when USC got the ball,Thier QB went 0-4 quickly.

42-35 Purdue
