I've played Faren a few times before and it has always been a good, sim game.
Offense: The first play of the game was a 73 yard touchdown run by Deangelo, but was able to hold him to just 15 more yards the rest of the game. I know he likes to run and my early lead made him throw more often than he wanted to. He only tossed one pick late in the game, but had trouble making completions throughout most of the game. He was able to cut my 17 point 4th quarter lead to 3 and made this game very interesting.
Defense: He had good pressure on my QB the whole game (I have a pretty good Oline). Uses alot of zone and zone blitzes. He had trouble stopping Jamaal Charles in the running game, he had 190 yds 2 TDs. I was able to complete a few passes downfield to my WRs.
