Anyone else noticed how awesome "stick" plays are? Some are better than others depending on the formation, but if you read it right, it should be a completion 4/5 times. In last year's game, the stick route didn't quite work right, but that was fixed so the play works a lot better this year.
Some other opinions on play calling... I've had a lot of success running OSU's offense out of Ace with Stoneburner flexed into the slot and 3 WRs. I call four verticals almost every play, but often end up audibling out of it. If the defense has five guys or less in the box, I just audible to HB dive in the same formation. It's usually an easy 4-6 yards.
After doing that a couple times at the beginning of the game, the guy I'm playing usually starts doing something like pinching the line or bringing a LB up to the line of scrimmage. At that point, if I have a numbers advantage in the box (or equal numbers in the box) I run the running play to the WR coming in motion to get around the corner, which is easier now that he has overcommitted to the middle of the line.
I only run if the defense has five guys or fewer in the box. If they start purposefully loading the box (which usually happens after a few easy runs up the middle), I run four verticals. Often one of the guys in the slot gets open between the close and deep zones. If they're running cover 3, someone will be wide open deep. Against man, it gets trickier but at that point scrambling with Braxton is pretty successful. If it's a cover zero blits, lobbing it up to Stoneburner can work well because he's faster than most LBs who often end up covering the TE. For shorter gains, I run stick with the RB coming out of the backfield.
Anyway, I've had a lot of success running most of my offense like that online. Curious what other people are doing online.
