How to throw the ball away in EA Sports College Football 25

Throwing the ball away is a useful skill in EA Sports College Football 25. If done well, the offense cannot use any yardage when there are no safe players for the QB to throw to.

It is easy to perform this skill. Just one button needs to be pressed when the QB has the ball. On PlayStation consoles, this button is R3, while on Xbox consoles, it is RS.

Once the required button is pressed, the QB will throw the ball out of play into one of the two sidelines.

Three tips to help players perfect throwing the ball away in College Football 25

Here are some tips to help players perfect this play.

1. Scramble the quarterback

To safely throw the ball out of play, scramble the QB away from the line of scrimmage and into a space without defensive players.

Further, when scrambling the QB, ensure the QB does not run out of play. If that happens, it will be counted as a rushing play, and yardage may be lost.

2. Watch out for defenders

One of the best times to throw the ball away is when the defense pressures the QB and no receivers are available to pass to.

However, watch out for these defenders after pressing the required button to throw the ball away. Once this button is pressed, the player cannot do anything with the QB. However, the defense will still be advancing toward the QB and may tackle him.

If the pass has not been completed before the QB is tackled, the play may count as a sack or even a fumble, which will not help the team.

3. Practice

This skill is all about timing. Players who have never done this before may struggle at first.

But with enough practice, they can effectively throw the ball away and not lose any yardage.
