 NCAA Football 2003 (GameCube) Reviews. GameCube Games Reviews by CNET.
Not surprisingly, players in the Midwest or on the East Coast are generally much less interested in attending schools on the West Coast, and vice versa, so you shouldn't really waste your time trying to get those players if your program doesn't have a high level of prestige.
Generally, the player models look quite good (though, some added facial expressions would certainly help remove the zombielike trance on some player faces), and the stadiums are nearly exact representations of their real-life counterparts.
EA Sports' NCAA Football 2003 is undeniably a great college football game that should appeal to both the casual college sports fan with its readily accessible rivalry mode and the most hard-core followers of the sport, who will no doubt spend countless hours in the game's dynasty mode.

Football is played predominantly with the feet, but players may use any part of their body except their hands and arms to propel the ball; the exceptions to this are the two players acting as goalkeepers, who are the only ones allowed to handle the ball on the field of play, albeit with restrictions.
The referee is the official timekeeper for the match, and it is part of his duties to make allowance for time lost through substitutions, injured players requiring attention, cautions and dismissals, sundry time wasting, etc. When making such an allowance for time lost, the referee is often said to be "adding time on".
A foul occurs when a player (not a substitute) commits a specific offence listed in the Laws of the Game, against an opponent, when the ball is in play.
