Offensive Styles

[hitstreak13]

With NCAA 11 looming closer and closer I was wondering what kind of offensive style do you use/prefer?

Ever since NCAA 04 I have always ran a pro-style system (west coast). I tried air it out, one back, option, etc. I just never felt comfortable running out of those systems. For this reason, I almost always avoid going for that "scrambler" because most of the time, they dont have very good accuracy. Anyone else run strictly a pro-style system?

I tend to lean towards the Spread(U of H) and the triple option. You can't defend what you can't predict.

I love running the west coast( pro style). I need a experienced qb to run my offense

Re: Offensive Styles

in the past I've been a pro-style or one-back guy(unless I play with Texas Tech, then I use their offense, Air Raid). for NCAA 10, I played as MTSU in my offline dynasty and I started out using their playbook(spread). I eventually changed to Oregon's playbook and became more of a running team, just in shotgun.

for NCAA 11, I'll use Air Raid for my online dynasty with Texas Tech. offline, I haven't decided who I'm going to use yet. I'll probably wait until I pick a team before deciding what style of offense to use.

College is about wide open offenses and passing the thing all over the field. At least, that's how I see it. LOL I've used UTEP and Missouri the last few years but this year I am curious to see if they've properly implemented the Run & Shoot.

Do they have at least 2 WR's running option routes on pass plays, do they then run those option routes correctly, do they have the Shovel Pass in? I will also be interested in Air Raid and wonder if Texas Tech will have their wide O-line splits?

I will experiment w/ Run & Shoot, Air Raid, Spread {ala Brian Kelly @ Notre Dame}. I want to see how accurate they got things and what differences there are from one system to the other in the game.

This. 80% of the time (since 04) my starter has been either a Junior or Senior. I absolutely love running a west coast offense.

I am exactly the same way. I almost refuse to start a freshmen at qb.
I like to go with a junior or senior with not that great throw power, but good accuracy. Even if a frosh qb has a better rating I will still go with the senior until he gives me a reason to change

Re: Offensive Styles

I like running a one back system, gives me alot of chances to suprise em. I also like the I-form.

Re: Offensive Styles

I'm gonna use Arkansas' playbook with the new hurry-up system and hopefully recreate Oklahoma's offense because for whatever reason our playbook is really off every year maybe this year it will be better, but if not Arkansas is a great alternative, and I'm use to it

Re: Offensive Styles

I need a dual threat QB for my system. I like to run a form of the spread that is mostly ran out of the shotgun. Balanced in running short quick passes, but alot of speed options and qb choices, mixed in with the one back spread and with a healthy dose of PA.

I can either set up the pass with the run, or find success running to set up the short pass.

Re: Offensive Styles

I have done a lot of things. I use a lot of Shotgun and One back stuff for a team like OU which I use a lot. I love playing with Iform and power running teams.

Recent I have loved playing with Georgia Tech and the Triple Option. I love the inside and Outside Veer and the motion backs and misdirection. Seems that none of my buddies can stop me on offense because I can go both strong and weak off of the motion. Plus running the ball allows you to control the clock and the ball.

Re: Offensive Styles

Alabama, one-back. Pound out it with last year's Heisman, Mark Ingram. Throw in some playaction and select shotgun with Greg McElroy under center.

Re: Offensive Styles

I like the pro-style offense and one back. I've tried the option but the blocking sucks, maybe this year it will be good. Hopefully they get the changed Texas offense in there.

In the spread I always tend to throw picks in last year's game.

They did a good job with some option routes last year, but in my mind, they "wasted" them in the Flexbone playbook. Those run and shoot concepts need to be in the run and shoot playbook. Hopefully this year.
