Hey, Vinny, I gues you're too young to remember Avalon Hill's Bowl Bound game. It was a tabletop game where they had satistically studied the tendendices of teams nominated by each school. Since the game came out in the late seventies, it had Spurrier's '66 Gator team as the UF choice.
You had about 12 different offensive plays to choose from and I think six different defensive choices. Each player made a percentile die roll based on a matrix of the two chosen plays and a result would be found, marching the ball up and down the playing field. IIRC, a passing play burned 15 seconds of game time, a running play burned 30 seconds and any penalty caused no time to be burned.
It was a great beer and pretzels game, with an expansion that came out around the mid-eighties (so we got the 1980 Bulldog team into the game).
You ought to try to find a used copy somewhere - it's a lot of fun...
