Anybody else struggling to settle on an offensive scheme?

I seem to have joy for a few games with something and then back to square one. Finding it difficult to move the ball consistently.

What’s everyone’s go to offense?

ive been in UGA since the last cpl months of 25......feel pretty good about it, has a bit of everything i need

I really like duke. Been on Colorado but I think duke is the way now

Not for everybody, but I run a scheme out of base option. Mainly been using wishbone tight and shotgun

I wanted to run a triple option scheme but I find people close down the option too easily. Set the AI on the QB and manually take the pitch man. Is there anything you have more success with?

Honestly I have not been running the option lately out of the playbook, I found some great inside runs out of the fullback, pa boot out of wishbone tight is an automatic 10 yards if the user doesn’t play the qb. Honestly the fun is very good, albeit gimmicky, good gun doubles and wingback with lots of rpos. With the triple option if it is not used exclusively it is a consistent big play due to the fact the user has to completely commit to it and it can be flipped very easily.

Ah nice, I have struggled getting a run game going. Passing wise I’ve had most success running an air raid scheme but I love to run the ball. Played a few games at end of 25 to see what it was like and was running a classic Nebraska style triple option from the Iform and it was fun.

In triple option, u gotta be willing to take the dive when they leave it open. And PA plays help to slow the user if they are trying to take the pitch. And like TO said, flipping the play is also nice for balanced sets.

Ok cool, maybe I need to lab it more.

Not gonna lie, the adjustment of pressing x to keep the ball is still messing with me, so used to the old way!

After a full year, I am kinda used to it. Still gotta think about it presnap to make sure muscle memory doesn't take over

Bowling green has a really solid playbook with a little bit of everything

Been running the rice owl playbook and having fun/success with it. A lot of decent shotgun pass plays and a bunch of fun triple option and regular option plays.

How is rice, I’m already versed in the option but wondering how much better the passing is, running base option rn

In CFB 25 I used Bama day one, & mastered it. To this point in 26 I don’t feel comfortable in anything. Ran Oregon the first 3 days! Tried Oregon St for a week. Been in Alabama the last few weeks. It’s sort of mid. A lot of familiarity but Bunch TE is gone. A few money plays still, but some don’t work at all anymore. Never was a scheme guy. Just narrowed my playbook by favoriting certain plays in certain formations, then called them based on situation and field position. Doesn’t feel sustainable
