Florida Gators Countdown to Kickoff 2021, No. 22: Madden shows Florida’s video game future

College football fans and gamers haven’t been able to use college football teams to play against each other in an EA Sports title since NCAA Football 14.

But now they — we — can in Madden NFL 22.

A new, limited-time event in Madden’s Superstar KO mode allows players to take control of 10 teams and their mixed rosters of current NFL player alumni and “Campus Legends,” EA Sports announced and released Tuesday morning.

The promotion is meant to draft on the buzz for the upcoming college football season, and will feature a rematch of the legendary 2005 Rose Bowl on the virtual gridiron, with former USC quarterback — and NCAA Football cover athlete — Matt Leinart taking on former Texas star — and Madden cover athlete — Vince Young in a game to be livestreamed Tuesday evening.
