I have to share this - it's cool/amazing/makes me proud:
While creating '94 Colorado, we were able to find a page that had every scoring play for the Buffs that year - 46 in all. Then we looked and noticed the yardages and wondered how many of them are possible playing Whoa Nellie College Football.
Well, all but 9 of the 46 scoring plays could play out with the normal plays in the game. That's not all. The first 8 longer TD plays could be produced by the game using the Whoa Nellie card - as in they were the only extra-long scoring plays occurring within a half of play. The last long TD of the season, the 9th long TD play, could not be re-created in the game, as it was the 2nd long TD of that half.
You could literally re-create 1994 Colorado's first 45 scores of the season (correct player and yardage). The only one you couldn't happened with 35 seconds left in their final regular season game. We're okay with that and are proud of this revelation.
Yes, this is a sample size of one team in one season, but it's pretty amazing nonetheless. It was a random team - we didn't seek it out because it was unique or make the game look good. Just a fortuitous discovery....thought it was worth a share.
