NCAA Football 07: Turn the Tide

Trick plays, momentum, and academic ineligibility.

April 19, 2006 - The Puntrooskie. When you think trick plays and momentum shifts, maybe no play in college football history sums it up better than Bobby Bowden's call against Clemson. It was a fake punt LeRoy Butler took 78 yards to set up a game-winning field goal late in the fourth. It's a play nobody saw coming. A play nobody thought would work. A play that still lives on in the minds of fans as one of the most stunning scenes in a sport known for reverse passes and The Hail Marry.

And while the NCAA Football series has been able to accurately capture a lot of the spirit, pride, and passion of the college game, one thing that's been missing has been those moments that Turn the Tide. Those unforgettable trick plays that make your jaw drop and the team that lost drop even farther down the standings.

That's what NCAA Football 07 (PS2, Xbox) is all about. It's about momentum shifts. It's about control. It's about unpredictability, trickery and deception.

And it's about to launch the term Puntrooskie into the vernacular of gamers.

I like some of the new features in the game this year. Let's hope the game play is improved over 2005 and 2006.
