Thats because Curtis Terry is the starting ROLB but is 3rd string FB.

It appears that way. Oh well, just another thing to look forward to when the retail version drops.

There's no lag for NCAA 08 online for me. Some people say they have issues with it but I have not had any issues with it.

Are you serious? No momentum? That was the first thing I noticed in the demo. Im pretty sure you are in the minority by thinking there is no momentum and weight to the players.

LSU' tight end pwnz!

Really enjoying the demo. Though like I have previously stated, I am not as critical as others.
I do find it very hard to run the ball. Probably cause I suxor.

Yeah I have a hard time getting Wells started as well....he's been dragged down a few times behind the line of scrimmage but once he's started his speed boosts up....

The key is to not use the speed burst before you get to the line of scrimmage. Also, be sure to use his strengths (Stiff Arm/Trucking) as opposed to Juke.
