College Football 27 Simulation of WVU/Arizona Decided in Final Minute

We just completed our weekly College Football 27 simulation of this week's WVU football game, and boy, it was a nail-biter, resulting in a heartbreaker for the Mountaineers, falling 31-24. Mike Hawkins Jr. threw a pick-six to give the Wildcats the lead, who were down 24-0 at one point. Hawkins had a little time to work with at the end of the game after the pick and had a Hail Mary attempt into the end zone fall incomplete.

Here is how this week's simulation vs. Arizona went.
