What Boise State accomplished in that magical season will stilll be referred to fifty years from now as one of the greatest David beats Golliath feats of all time.

I hope he's hiding the ball behind his back on the cover. That would be awe-some.

Someone was saying there should be a cheat code to unlock the trick plays. That would be awesome. I hope he gets a shot on an NFL team.

That would be AMAZING. I'd love to be able to pop out those trick plays in games.

Very cool news on the cover as well..looks good.

There will be team-specific trick plays.

That is a great article and that game looks fantastic. All the new tweaks will make it very, very fun.

But how do you incorporate an intangible like leadership in a videogame? "Um, maybe extra turbo?" Zabransky jokes. EA's Kendall Boyd has an idea. The product manager of NCAA 08 wants to reward players for, well, for making plays. While the game is still deep in development, Boyd says the new Leadership Control will reward users that select a player and stick with him. On defense, if you're a linebacker and fill your gap and stuff the run, you'll be rewarded. How exactly we don't yet know. But we do know that you will receive a report card at the end of every game detailing how you played individually, how well you led your team.

That's fantastic.

Is everything
Isn't he a senior? Why would they put him on the cover if he won't be an NCAA player in 08? Are they not allowed to use "amatuers" for the cover?




And why am I asking so many questions?

This was his senior year. I think it was the same thing when Joey Harrington was on the cover. Once he starts going to the combines and all that, he's good to go.

Let's hope he doesn't turn out like Joey in the NFL:)

You'd think they'd want someone on there who will actually be playing this year. (Brohm maybe :) )

Ah yes, a great game..........

What team do you think will draft Zabransky?

Not sure. Someone will give him a shot becuase of his 33-5 record and the Bowl game.

He's somewhat in the garcia mold, since he's a scrambler.
