Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with different playbooks in College Football 25, trying to find the best one for running a dual-QB system. It’s been a journey, let me tell you. I wanted something that could really let me use both of my quarterbacks’ strengths, you know? Not just subbing one in for a few plays, but actually having a game plan where both of them shine.
I started by trying out the Oklahoma State Cowboys playbook. I heard it was pretty good in the game’s meta, especially this formation called Shotgun Bunch HB Str. This formation is a beast! You got so many options downfield, it’s crazy. And they’ve got a 5WR set in there, too, which is just passing heaven if you’ve got the receivers for it. I ran a few games with it, and it was fun, but it didn’t quite feel like the perfect fit for two quarterbacks. It’s more of a traditional passing playbook, in my opinion.
Then I moved on to checking out the playbooks for Kansas State, UNLV, and Washington State. I’d heard these were some of the best ones in the game, period. They’re all pretty solid, with a good mix of run and pass plays. But I was like you know, these are good but I want to do something with two quarterbacks. So these playbooks wasn’t totally what I was looking for, either.
Finally, I decided to give the “Multiple” playbook a shot. The name itself got me curious. The idea behind this one is that it mixes different schemes together so you can pick and choose what your team is good at. This was more like it! With this playbook, I could attack from so many different formations. I could have one QB running some read-option, and then the next play, switch it up and have the other QB throwing bombs downfield. It was awesome!
Here’s how I set it up:
- First Quarter: I used my more mobile QB and focused on running plays and short passes. We kept the defense guessing with some read-option and play-action stuff.
- Second Quarter: Time to bring in my pocket passer. We opened up the field a bit more, throwing some deeper routes and taking advantage of his arm strength.
- Third Quarter: Back to the mobile QB, but this time we mixed in some designed QB runs. This really messed with the defense because they were already tired from chasing him around in the first quarter.
- Fourth Quarter: Depending on the score and the situation, I’d either stick with one QB or keep rotating them. This flexibility was the key to keeping the defense off balance.
The “Multiple” playbook really let me use both of my quarterbacks effectively. It wasn’t just about their individual skills, but also about how I could use them together to create mismatches and keep the defense on their toes. It felt like I was actually coaching, you know, not just picking plays from a menu. It was a blast!
If you’re looking to run a dual-QB system in College Football 25, I definitely recommend giving the “Multiple” playbook a try. It might take some time to get used to all the different formations and plays, but it’s worth it. Trust me, seeing your two quarterbacks work together like a well-oiled machine is a beautiful thing. Just experiment, find what works for your players, and have fun with it! That’s what it’s all about, right?
