I could list several dozen plays I think he should run.  We have some skill players that can make plays, you have to get them the ball in space.  Find a way.  These aren't the best defenses in college ball we're up against.  I can tell you what doesn't work are inside zone runs and home run passes.

The OL pass pro has been fine, and the QB might be serviceable if we run some play action and shorten the routes.  Higher percentage patterns.  Nixons passing playbook is all or nothing.  Collins would be better with quick hitters, shorter over the middle, slants, te curls.

From my nosebleed seats I would like us to just try something else.  Move the pocket, roll him out, more rpo, jet sweeps, occasional option.

I'd like to see the run game get outside.  Might not work, but Willis needs to get a head of steam to be effective, so try a toss sweep or some stretch runs.   Willis' better runs if I recall are when he's on the edge.  That big Clemson run was a 'stretch' play over the tackle with Valleri pulling.   Tennessee same thing; his TD run was an option.  His better runs are wide.
