How to unlock the Pontiac 4th Quarter Comeback achievement in NCAA Football 08 - Definitive Guide

Start a Play Now game pitted against a much inferior team (I used Michigan against San Jose State - my favourite punching bag).

Play back and let the opposing team rack up a pair of scores on you early, then start controlling the game by eating up time on the clock when you're on offense. You can set your offsides penalties to OFF in order to use set up a defender over the line of scrimmage for easy sacks to force the other team into quick three-and-out situations and regain possession.

You should easily be able to score more than 14 points in a quarter, but to give yourself extra time you can march the ball down into the red zone when you have the ball late in the third quarter - but don't score until the fourth!

I suggest going for a two-point conversion on your first TD. If you get it, you can just score another TD and kick the extra point for a 15-14 lead that you can sit on until the clock expires. Otherwise, you'll need three scores to win.

No keep difficulty on varsity, if your having problems use two controllers. Score twice with one team...then run clock out till the 4th. Score the 15 points needed to win and pop goes the achievement ;)

I disagree. I started the game on Freshman in error and only realized in the 3rd quarter that I had the wrong difficulty on. I changed it to Varsity, completed the game and the achievement unlocked.

A big additional trick to this is turning off the play clock. Let the other team get 14 points, use the lack of penalties to get the ball back, do a running play that doesn't get a 1st down, sit there and let the clock run to kill 1st and 2nd quarter. Get right up to the end zone in quarter 3, same thing. Get 15 or more points in Q4, same same thing. Makes the achievement mostly watching YouTube videos to pass the time. The clock will run infinitely during play selection with the shot clock off, and by doing something that causes the clock to run down between plays (runner getting tackled without going out of bounds or getting a 1st down).

As it says, be down by 14 (or more, doesn't have to be exact), then come back to win the game.
