Best Practices for RPOs in College Football 25
RPOs (Run-Pass Options) can be tricky because they require both pre- and post-snap reads. They are generally more effective against zone defenses because they give your QB the chance to CFB 25 Coins exploit soft spots, but they can work against man coverage if used carefully. Here are a few key tips:

Pre-Snap Read: Check the number of defenders in the box. If the defense is light inside, lean towards the run.
R/P Key Defender: Use L2 to identify which defender you’re reading post-snap. This is typically the edge defender or a linebacker.
Avoiding Mistakes Against Man Coverage: Stick to simpler reads if the defense is running heavy man-to-man schemes.
Highlighted RPO Plays
Shotgun – Duo Slot Open – RPO Read HB Flat
This is an exotic formation that aligns two running backs on the same side of the field. The outside running back immediately runs into the flat, creating a quick option for your QB. The play offers three key decisions:

Keep the ball with the QB and scramble.
Hand it off to the running back.
Pass to the flat if the defense crashes inside.
Best Use: Call this play multiple times to force the defense to choose between protecting the middle or covering the flats.

Complementary Plays: Pair this RPO with Sprintout Flood and PA Rollout to create variety in your offense. Plays with automatic rollouts (labeled Sprint or Sprintout) help your QB scramble efficiently, but beware of cheap CFB 25 Coins edge defenders—getting caught in a scramble can result in sacks.
