Defense was pretty much not allowed in Overdrive, and after you hurdled the ball it was right in front of you again--you didn't have to have it inbounded at the other end of the field.

I'm thinking the super-elite teams will probably be able to do 4-5 cycles unassisted with no defense on them. We'll see if that estimate changes as the build season progresses.
