College Football 25 Cover 3 Beater

Destroy Cover 3 And Cover 4 Defenses in College Football 25 With The Oregon Playbook

Ian by Ian
July 16, 2024

The most common defense you see in any football video game is some sort of Cover 3 variation so we wanted to show you an easy shot play you can use to beat any cover 3 defense deep.

It’s an added bonus that it also torches Cover 4 drop for a huge gain as well.

Let’s dive in!

Playbook: Oregon

Formation: Gun U Off Trips

Play: Dash Comeback

Setup:

  1. Make sure you run this play to the wide side of the field. (If you are on the right hash mark, make sure your receivers are on the left).
  2. You also may want to flip this play if you have a right handed quarterback
  3. Use the new Custom Stem feature on your B/circle receiver to make his route 5 yards deeper (Y/triangle + B/circle + hold down LB/L1 + tap up on the left stick once then release LB/L1)
  4. (Optional) Double team the outside most pass rusher on the side you are rolling out towards

Reads:

  1. Your primary read on this play is the B/circle receiver deep. Roll out with your Qb then lead pass up and to the sideline if the cornerback bites down on the X/square receiver’s comeback route
  2. If he is covered or you feel pressure, you can hit the running back as a checkdown option.

Overview: This is a really good shot play against Cover 3 and Cover 4 defenses. Make sure to flip the play and run this from the left hash mark if you have a right handed QB.

Let’s take a closer look at how this play works.

This is the pre-snap play art. Notice how the B/circle receiver’s route is slightly extended.

After the ball is snapped, you can see the blocking should hold up well because of the extra tight end on the left (in purple).

You should also notice the running back in the left flat who will usually be open as a checkdown option for a few yards.

What we really want to see though is the outside cornerback bite down on our X/square receiver’s comeback route. Once that happens, our slot receiver should have excellent leverage on any safety deep.

We are able to make the catch before the safety or cornerback can recover. Make sure to lead pass away from the safety.
