NCAA Football 11 Blog: Offensive Styles - Spread Offense

[huskerwr38]

NCAA 11 is finally better than Madden 11 this year. I know people are saying that we haven't seen much of Madden but I can just tell the game will be better. I have been saying this all along this year, it's NCAA's year to shine over Madden. I think that NCAA is MORE sim than Madden because Madden is trying to cater to the casual fan. Madden devs would not have wrote a blog that broke down plays like that. They believe it scares the casual people away. The NCAA devs get it and they are moving in the right direction, whereas, I believe Madden is headed down a more casual road.

I can't wait for NCAA, it's finally back!

That makes sense. Forgot he was #9 also.

Good job, bro. I never would have gotten Louisville.

I loved the video except in a spread option offense like Oregon's or Michigan's, it's not a play action bubble screen. It's a read option play with the added option of throwing to the slot if the defense brings extra guys into the box. It's similar to the triple option in an under center option offense. And as many have already said, the outside receiver does different things depending on the play and defense. In a spread option offense, it is not always called at the line of scrimmage but built into the play as the last option (like the pitch man in an under center triple option play). Other than that, at least they finally got the basic read in.

Damnit was hoping for a dynasty blog, but it was still a good blog.

Isn't the Wolverine Split formation illegal with the uncovered LT? It'll also be interesting to see if they call a penalty on you if you throw it to the TE who is covered (if, of course, there are even any routes for him and if you can hot route him).

Wouldn't be the first thing that Michigan has done illegally.
