This game really is stupid

Started a new dynasty after taking a long break from playing because i found the game frustrating. I started with it set to Varsity. The first 4 games were great. Fun, appropriately competitive, nail biters against similarly skilled teams.

Then I lost 2 heartbreakers.
Then I lost in a game that was just dumb.
Then i played this game against UK and had 5 INTs and was down 35-7 at half.

I said fuck it, and quit and then reduced the difficulty level to freshmen. Then this happens.

We had 20 sacks. 4 fumbles and 2 INTs. 3 defensive touchdowns and 2 safeties.
UK's total offense was -138 yards. They had 1 first down.
Sampson scored 9 TDs on 280 yards.

You're all about to tell me I need to just adjust sliders. It shouldn't be that way...
