This is a huge part of college football and needs to be done better imo.

You have to have Rush Defense set to 0 period.Also CPU RB Abilty has to be at 70,Run Blocking at 55 and Tackling at 65.It works give it a try.

Yeah but then every under-center back turns into Emmitt Smith

I'm sure I could adjust my sliders more to have the cpu spread attack function better. But the problem is that it's so much worse than a pro style attack. You almost have to have two slider sets for the cpu. One slider set with massive boosts to the cpu running game for a spread team like Oregon or Michigan and a second one with moderate adjustments to boost the cpu running game for a conventional attack like Wisconsin or Bama.

Right now the game is very poorly balanced in this area. I'd love to see a tuning set boost the run blocking for option plays and shotgun runs and leave the conventional running plays alone. For a game that advertises 120 ways to win you would think the offensive styles would be more balanced.
