I have watched a lot of football in my day and I have never seen a team only pass the ball 4 times in a 60 minute game. Come on Strat, fix this game and it could be awesome.

Try the 1971 Oklahoma Sooners. 70 rushing attempts per game vs. 6.8 passing attempts. I still see that glorious wishbone offense and some pretty intense defense.

Also, the '73, '74, '75 (5.8 passes per game), '76 (5.3 p/g), '77, '78, '79 versions were pretty similar.

Just a reminder how good college football could be, here's the 1971 meeting between Oklahoma and Nebraska:

ps just discovered that the 1933 Boston Redskins averaged 8.8 pass attempts per game against 38.9 rushing attempts, but that I suppose is normal given the relative primacy of the rushing game in the early NFL.
