What teams have strong option style playbooks?

So I know that Gtech, Army, Navy, Airforce, all have flexbone/option style playbooks. Who else is in that category though? It would be great to have a playbook like the old nebraska playbook of pure power running.

I am using Nebraska in my offline dynasty. Right now, I am running the run balanced play book. It has quite a few I formation sets including a power I formation. There are a number of triple option plays out it (although I am awful running the triple option). I too would love to install the Tom Osborne style offense.

Not a team, but the option run playbook is great. If I remember correctly, it has a lot of flexbone, some I sets, a little bit of shotgun, and the wishbone. All of the formations have a hefty dose of option plays in them. I plan on using it a lot this year.

From what I've seen, Navy and Air Force are the closest to the old Nebraska running days, as far as playbooks go. Navy AI seems to use Flexbone more than any other team, but playbooks are pretty similar between Navy and Airforce. I usually go with Airforce for my option playbook when I decide to run the option in a game

I use the Option Run.

So it seems that Air force is the best we can get. Man my best memory of NCAA was 05 (i think, the last major last gen one) where you could customize your playbook and i had 10 formations Power I, Maryland I, 3 Wishbones, 3 PowerTs, and 4 flex bones. And this was back when the flexbone still hardly fricken worked, but it was still soooo fun just runnng old school smashmouth football.

CURSE MODERN COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND ALL THIS SPREAD CRAP!!!!!!!!!

For like 1995-96 Nebraska, Air Force is the best option for sure. The true Flex formations aren't really close.

Air Force has plenty of I, a few Ace, a few gun and some good flex. I believe Nebraska ran one back 30% of the time in the '96 season, so having some ace is certainly required.
