Description

Football is an American Football game that plays in real-time. The player has 15 seconds to select a play, on defense the player must guess the play the computer will select to prevent the computer from gaining yards on the field. On offense the computer will guess the player's play. Depending on the play and other random factors (such as interception chances) the player will gain a number of yards, a breakaway or penalty.
