Easy punt blocks:
To block punts, its easier to turn the offsides penalty off to get a head start on the offensive line. Choose a corner or a running back (someone that is fast enough and tall enough) and do one of the two; blitz the kicker and tackle him, which takes yardage off your opponent`s rushing yards in the game, or jump and block the kick. This is not a play that works all of the time. However it usually works in the punt return play, and not the punt block play. Also, it never hurts to use a little play action once every series or so.

Hint: Extra campus challenge points:
Play several games at the Heisman level, however alter the AI settings in the settings menu before playing. Set the CPU levels at their lowest, and the Human levels at their highest. This will force the CPU to make a lot more mistakes and you to allocate challenge points, which can be used to purchase pennants and unlock other secrets within the game. The play level is still very difficult, but with your added AI, you should be able to be successful.
Easy sacks:
You can get an easy sack by doing a linebacker, line and coverage audible and press Down. When the ball is snapped, rush the QB. He will throw a bad pass or get sacked.
Press Start, go to "Setting", then choose "Penalty Settings". Turn off offsides. Before the ball is snapped, hold Down. You will begin to run and have a head start on the offense. This works best in 5-2.
When playing on defense and you are having trouble putting pressure on the quarterback, select the Nickel Defense, down arrow once and choose the center play for the Cornerback Blitz. It is also very effective at stopping toss plays and full back dives. If you pay attention to the offensive line, you can usually alter your coverage audible to close coverage, which helps stop the run as well.
Longer punts:
Choose to punt out of bounds left or right. The defense will not go into punt coverage. Simply move the arrow to the middle of the field and just boom it. If a returner does get back in time to field it, he will muff it most of the time. This works great for making sure the opposing team has a long field to work with, as well as getting your Punter All-American status.
