From BoardGameGeek

Here's YOUR chance to quarterback your favorite college team to a National Championship! Avalon Hill statisticians have "scouted" the top college football teams from out of the past. The actual play-by-plays of their games have been computer-analyzed and converted into easy-to-use Play/Action Team Charts. They make the play of this game fast ... exciting ... and true-to-life. However, YOUR decisions make the difference between winning and losing.
