The biggest adjustment was to take away Dixon. If you watched, they always had a safety over the top. We needed to find a way to get other receivers open and not force it to Dixon and beat them that way. 2 total catches for TE's. 2 for RB's.

Dixon is going to see a lot of double coverage going forward. He's a beast and will get the ball but Houser is going to have to stop forcing it to him until they're forced to zone or single coverage because others are open.
Can't really blame the staff for the passing attack falling apart in the second half. They brought in receivers, the guys just got hurt.

Losing Perry sucks. We need Platt back and contributing before the MSU game.

A salary cap won't solve the issue. Some teams will just ignore it - much like they ignored the earlier rules prohibiting payment to players.
Not to be contrarian, but how do the major leagues make it work? Contracts . . . . That have to be approved by the league office. I'm also not in support of this business model - the operative term being business. Look back thru my posts the last few years and I've been very vocal that we are witnessing the demise of college athletics real time . . .

Not blaming the staff for that. My point is, they need to find a way to get others that they do have involved.
