great game...possibly one of the most exciting in COFL history. Defensive battle in first half...LSU took a 6-3 lead to locker. 2nd half the teams offense started to get a feel for each other. LSU would score a td to open the 3rd to make 13-3. But Auburn would answer with Burns hitting Billings on a deep ball to cut it to 13-10 to start 4th. LSU would answer with another td on a nice pass from hatch to whoever and make it 20-10 in the 4th. The Tigers would answer yet again scoring a td on a play i can't remember for the life of me making it 20-17 with 2:39 left The Tigers elected to go for the onside since they could not stop the tigers....it failed. LSU would end up settling for a fg making it 23-17 with roughly 50 seconds left and the Auburn with no to's. After the kickoff Auburn made Death Valley the quietest its ever been with this on the 2nd play of the drive...... www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/987400and with 20 seconds left after some poor tackling gave LSU great field position..Hatch goes deep and instead of picking the ball of my FS decides to slap it to the ground setting up this..... www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/987473which set up this www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/987585which led to broken hearts in auburn, alabama lsu 26 auburn 24

Wow...the streak stays alive.
This streak has had some remarkable finishes. I still haven't gotten over him returning a kickoff for a TD on the last play of the game to beat me when I was Tennessee.

I hated this game. You won't see me complain much. I certainly will never complain about fumbles, dropped balls or awful passes. But I will complain about straight EA bugs. Three things really bothered me: 1. Ahead 13-3, I had pressure on Burns, and he starts sprinting downfield, then stops dead in his tracks right at the LOS and hurls a deep ball for a TD. LOS was around the 37, and it's hard to say if he was past it or not, but it sure was close. This exact same play happened against Rolle and Florida last season and it was extremely frustrating both times. This wasn't a bug (although I've heard you can throw it past the LOS) but still VERY frustrating. www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/9874032. Down 17-20 with just over two minutes, Auburn tries an onside kick. It doesn't go quite 10 yards before I grab it at the Auburn 38. I call a play and suddenly my offense comes out on MY OWN 38. I didn't know any simple way to fix this, so I just let it go, but that could have made a huge difference. 3. I take it into field goal range and get stopped on 3rd down one yard shy to bring up a 4th and 1. I decide to be safe and kick the FG and make him score a touchdown with only around 45 seconds left and no timeouts. He starts with it around the 30. I come out it quarter defense, man cover 2. My corner back lines up 4-5 yards left of the receiver he is suppose to cover, and there's nothing I can do about it. The receiver flies by him, makes the catch and the safety has to save the touchdown. He no huddles and I'm stuck in the same play and my corner lines up the same way. He throws it to him again and this time he gets by my safety for the go ahead TD. Ridiculous. I should have taken a screenshot of how my guy was lined up. Incredibly frustrating. Anyways, good game. I would have been pissed about it for weeks had I lost... I'll still be pissed about the above things for a couple days. On the game winning FG, my hands were shaking more than they have since having to give speeches in college. My streak is at 16 (18 if you count FFW). Would be at 25 if not for that heartbreaking single loss last season in OT against the infamous dorm room lagger. It will end soon, though. I don't play this game much. Only league games. And I think I'm running out of creativity.

i didn't even notice it gave it to you on your 38 not mine. LOL yeah that play where burns stopped was funny for me..i thought for sure it was a sack your CB got picked up at the last second. I feel i play much better in the playoffs buts its never enough to beat you.

That pass looked legit, one of the best plays I have seen in the league, he was pressured and got away and passed it just shy of the LOS, a perfect pass in man coverage, I was surprised the LSU corner didn't pick that off.
I have noticed the bug with the onside kick, but it happened to me after a punt I returned down to the 22 yard line, they ended up spotting it on my 22 instead of my opponents.
