Just capped off a third straight national title.

It's bitter sweet because on the one hand I'm happy and I love my team but on the other hand it tells me that it's time to do the thing I hate most, which is tweaking sliders.
The final game was great though. Me (13-0) v. #2 Miami (12-1). Very similarly to this year's rl SEC CG, they opened up a 10 point lead and I couldn't get a first down through 1.5 quarters. Then I strung together a few short passes, got a little rhythm going and drove for a FG. Right before half time, I called a draw at the perfect time in the 2-minute drill and my RB sprung it up the middle for a 20 yard score to tie it at 10.
I built a 20-10 lead early in the 3rd, but on my next possession I forced a ball to my go-to WR on 3rd down and it was picked in my own territory. They quickly cut it to 20-17 and the finger nail chewing began.
After exchanging a few punts in the 4th quarter, I managed to grind some clock and add a short FG with just 1:10 remaining. 23-17, and they have no timeouts.
Brilliantly, I kick the ball out of bounds, giving them great field position. Luckily for me they throw three straight incomplete passes, and then on 4th and 10 they try an ill advised screen pass to the RB out of the backfield. I am in man so my OLB sniffs it out and jumps on the back quick, my DE peels back to help clean him up. Two kneels later and it's confetti time.
Now let me introduce you to a few of my boys:
Here's senior WR Vinnie Tillman, easily the best WR I've ever had in NCAA 12.
Here is senior CB Courtney Allen, who set school records with 12 interceptions this season and 4 interceptions in a single game.
And here's a highlight of the guy I told you guys about, Jarvis Cronin ... who is a fucking load at 267 lbs. This run helped save our perfect season in what was an upset alert game v. the Aggies. They were leading 17-0 at this point; this was nearing the half, and that run converted a 3rd-and-medium and set up a TD a few plays later. I'm hoping Moss goes pro next season so next year can be the Cro Show.
