Advice from Air Raid Aficionados

[ZN30]

What do your passing stats typically look like when running the air raid?

I've had 50+ pass attempts almost every game I've used it (~8 games) and north of 300 yd everytime and over 400 yds the majority of the time.

I've also been sacked 21x in my first 4 games running it with WVU, but 15 of those came in the first 2 games while I was getting the hang of it.

No one has mentioned my favorite playbook in the entire game, Indiana!

Their OC the year the game came out was Seth Littrell, who had previously coached under Mike Leach at Texas Tech, stopped off at IU, then took his Air Raid game to North Texas where he is currently the head coach (and former TTU QB Graham Harrell is his OC).

Anyway, there are a few Air Raid books in the game, I just find IU has just right formations for me.

I'm going to check that book out. Never played it much.

I know I’m late to this convo, but once I started reading this thread, I’m now questioning my decision to go with Houston’s pb, lol! I always need my 2x2 Spread sets which Houston has, but it gets a little stale running shallow and Y Corner so much from them. And for some reason, I’ve never had success with the Y Cross from the spread. It seems to take too long to develop.

One of the sleeper books for the Air Raid is BYU. If you like a more multiple type of Raid, it also has I Normal, I Twins, and I Tight with the same concepts.

For anyone that has played with these books extensively, what are brief notes and differences between these books

Byu
Houston
Indiana
Mid Tennessee St
Ok St
TX A&M
Tx Tech
Wash St
W Virginia

Cant get the site to work, but thats cool someone made that a thing.

The Raid books I favor depend on what my goal is.
If in just looking for a base to build onto, I like:

Wash St (Leach)
or Cal (Sonny ****s)

If I'm looking for a ready-to-play playbook, I like:

Indiana (Seth Littrell was oc that year)
East Carolina (Lincoln Riley was oc that year)
and I'm coming around on Middle Tennessee.
