An offensive coordinator should be able to move the ball in a variety of ways, if necessary.  Look how we moved the ball with the wildcat on one drive.  Navy runs for 275 YPG, but somehow also passes for 100+ YPG.  At some point, the chef has to make AN entree.  If he does not have the ingredients to make his favorite entree, he needs to serve something though.

The wildcat showed that our offensive line can run block from time to time.  Imagine if we had just had Villari throw one pass.  What's the worst that could have happened?  A Pick-Six.  We had four of those against Miami/ND (with one called back by a pity penalty).  Why not have Rickie run a wildcat?  He could have faked one out of 8 runs and thrown a long pass to loosen up the defense.

The bye week after SMU would have been a great time to start working in some new concepts... but Nixon couldn't or wouldn't.  I guess we will just be a one dish pony and hope for the best.  Maybe our QB stays healthy next year, but our tackles get hurt or are a disaster.  Or we have WR injuries.  Seems like we will always need a healthy team to have an offense with Nixon...
