Are there any playbooks that utilize 2 HBs?

I am considering starting a dynasty with NC State, and seeing that they have two solid HBs, I was wondering if there were any playbooks that utilized and ran plays from a two-back set. Specifically, a playbook that would implement two HBs each play, instead of having to sub them in and out on a play by play basis..

Thanks!

Just do a formation sub to get your second HB in the game. Run a Pro-Form or a 2 back shotgun set. Also, formations like the Flexbone (or whatever it's called) sounds like a formation you would be looking for.

Im not sure and I cant check on it right now since I am at work, but I would try Navy. When I played them in my dynasty they ran like 70% of the time using all sorts of wierd running formations. Some of the formations had like 3 or 4 tailbacks..

Navy uses 3 back sets but alot of their plays are for their fullback, you could just create your own playbook and set the formations subs before the game, then you wouldnt have to sub while your playing.

Thanks for the replies.

I've been using Iowa's playbook and subbing in HBs via packages pre-play. It works out really well and presents two very different approaches to the run game.

I have found Florida's playbook is great to utilize both Lorenzo Booker and Antone Smith in my dynasty.

Navy and AirForce both utilize the Flexbone and Wishbone formations. I don't know of any that use a T formation, but I'm pretty sure it's in the game.

UAB has a lot of I form, two back SG, and also one flexbone/normal formation.. you may want to look at that.
