Searching for a playbook

[Huskerheaven]

I use the run balance playbook. It has the standard I formation, I-tight formation, I-formation with two WRs to one side and I-formation big. Playing as Nebraska, I use the triple option quite a bit and the full back dive can be productive.

Anyone who's played NCAA before knows how hard it is to nail down an effective playbook. Even when you find a good one, you'll find yourself aimlessly picking plays and difficulty finding plays at crunch time. Well, thanks to VG Sports, the whole process has become alot easier.


There are a couple other websites out there, but this is one where you can find every playbook from every team on NCAA. All you gotta do is download it and register with them.

I originally did this for me, but i figured it could help you guys as well. Below is a list of the formations that each playbook contains. This will help sort out pass heavy playbooks, run heavy playbooks, etc. and help determine whether the playbook will suit you before you even look at it.

it'll be in their shotgun formation.

I like to use the more conventional offense with a fullback also. My two favorite playbooks are Iowa's and Cal's. I like I twins and I also like Strong Twins and Strong Y. I think Strong Y is where the FB really seems to be put to good use. Iowa's missing the Strong Y but Cal's doesnt have the I Tight. I like the simple dive out of the I Tight.
