Michigan spread playbook-custom. Awareness is at about high 50s after 2 years.

Michigan Spread... I'm not familiar with that particular playbook. Are we talking sort of what Urban Meyers ran with Tim Tebow back in Florida?

It's Gary Hammermill's playbook in the game-not sure about Urban Meyer.The strategy guide call it the West Virginia/Michigan spread attack. The playbooks from Florida seem to be the spread option, it's a little bit different.

West Virginia.... Oh ok Pat White ran that style when he played before leaving for the Dolphins. Now do you have any tackles, guards, or fullbacks pulling to block upfield?

No, I never used substitutions in the game much.Not sure how you would do that. The fullback occasionally has to catch the ball in this system.

OK so after playing around with this ideology, I realize that only the O-Line can pull to block; the fullback cannot. Even then, the Guards can pull in either direction; while the Tackles can pull and block from their opposite side (LT can only pull right and vice versa). So give that a try; play around with it and see what works.
