The game looks much improved over last year\u2019s version.  I\u2019m looking for an NBA sim, and this is pretty much the only game in town for GM fans.<\/p>\n<p>A few \u201cexperts\u201d seriously picked UCLA over USC.  <\/p>\n<p>I had the good fortune of being around San Diego State when Marshall Faulk was there (my wife is a proud Aztec).  He is the greatest running back I\u2019ve ever seen in college.  Reggie Bush is a close second.  The difference is that Marshall Faulk was by far the only option at San Diego State.  You knew who was going to get the majority of the touches.  Yet when he touched the ball and got to the secondary, there was always a chance that he would score a TD.  Reggie Bush is one of many options at USC, so that\u2019s why I will always think Faulk was the better college running back.  Teams would line up 10 players in the box and Faulk would still rush for 200 yards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I switched back and forth between the Texas Colorado and Army Navy games yesterday.
