CPU QB perfection - any ideas?

Every game so far, without fail, the opposing QB is something like 35/37 or 42/45 passing. (The misses are usually INTs. Someone catches everything.) I'm a mediocre D (84) and expect to get torched by better teams. But FCS teams are like 37/38 passing. I've tried man and zone, nickel and dime, blitz and 8 in coverage. Nothing works. Every pass is complete. The games are still competitive because runs are the opposite, thanks to the OL bug. Usually losses or short gains. The "AI" is dumb enough to not pass every down. 

Any ideas? I'm old and not great on the controller - but I took friggin UAB to the playoffs in CF 25 on All American level, so I'm not terrible. Should I just put in FG block on 3rd and long? It's such a nonsensical arcade game, that might just work. I mostly sim the defense now, but that's no fun and they just score even faster.

I keep wanting this to be a playable game. It's so good in every aspect except, you know, the football.
