Inside runs against high rated teams = waste of a down?

Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I've almost stopped running the ball all together except for the occasional speed option or outside run out of pistol.

Anything to the inside on heisman difficulty vs. a team rated 85 or higher or against another user in road to the playoff is useless.

95% of my inside runs result in the DT immediately warping past my OLine and suctioning onto my back. I'm lucky to fall forward for a 1 or 2 yard gain.

I've tried not holding sprint. I've tried holding sprint. Nothing really works. The only time I might have some success is if they have 3 Dlineman in spread and no LBs in the box.

What run play are you calling and against which fronts?

Not a waste. I would still do it on a occasion even if I never had great results because I feel like it keeps the opponent honest in that it can't afford to be all in as one dimensional. Just gotta keep plugging away IMO.

Also, run an occasional Jet Sweep.

Running out of expectant pass formations can help. Also if you know where their primary guy is winning running off his expected path can help.

What makes this game fun is there's no do this and it will work. Got to read the front and the defense and make a guess on what you think they're doing.

10 personnel HB Base is my go to money play to get the run game going. Backside guard wraps for the Mike. 3x1 usually gets a 5 man box and the CPU DLine plays like mortals against it.
