Does the CPU call enough run plays...

I would assume teams that run the options wil run alot like Air Force.

Back at the list of coaches select that coach and then go to Find Job. He'll be a six star prestige coach automatically so every team wants him. Scroll through the teams and pick your opponent and accept their offer. When you exit back out to the dynasty menu you will automatically be under that team. You then go to team strategy (like the third from the top I believe) and then coach strategy. Under coach strategy there are sliders for run/pass. You can check the link the person above posted for each teams run/pass ratios to get them to run the ball a realistic amount, but in general setting it from 70 to 80 percent run will get them to run the ball about half the time. Also what I personally do is change their playbook to West Coast because it has fewer shotgun formations which cuts down on the amount of times they call QB Read Option out of shotgun with a slow QB, leading to easy sacks for you. Also under coach strategy you will need to change their defense back to a 4-3 or whatever they are supposed to have. After you play the game you should delete that coach and then do it over for your next opponent.

this is a good Idea, but in truth its not realistic for allot of teams. Texas tech, WV etc they dont run normal plays they run that spread option. I will probably adjust my coach to what they should be doing.

Balanced teams tend to throw a bit too much, but teams I've faced with speedy QBs have run on me like crazy. I'm sure once/if the sliders get fixed, we'll find a happy-medium

You don't need to create a coach. Just change the coaching sliders in your dynasty for that opponent before the game and switch them back after the game (for the sim engine). I have done this since NCAA 04 and it works wonders to keep the CPU running the ball. However, this option wasn't available in NCAA 05 for whatever reason.
