We'll see.  When you get down, it changes the level of desperation.  So the play calls are different because you want to score and score quickly.  Clemson should have kept running the ball on us.  Instead, they put it in Cade's hands to overthrow receivers, etc.  Sometimes, you need to forget the score and score points. Forget how you get it there... get it there.

At some point, we should have shifted from winning the game to developing Rickie.  He didn't get 4 quarters of Colgate.  We might have to do the same this week.   Or maybe we did.  He is used to our defense, where I am sure screen plays for 12 yards 9 out of 10 times.  Maybe we need to practice against 13 defenders to replicate what it is like against competent defenses.  I don't know.

Different sets... Two RBs... two WRs... TE... make sure he gets time and have him go through simpler reads. One WR and then dump off to RB.  He did a great fake against Clemson for that TD.  He CAN do it.  When he gets comfortable, then start bringing back our 3, 4, and 5 receiver packages.  For the WRs... the best case scenario is the best Rickie Collins QB that they can get... it is worth some attention for a game to get him to his maximum productivity.  And then the coaches have to spin this as the game plan for this week, rather than training wheels for Rickie.
