1. Run the ball better

2. Fix the run defense.

We have seen this movie in the recent past.

Right now the only thing that has been consistent is production in the pass game and making something out of nothing, which is remarkable with 1st year OC and True Freshmen QB.  That's usually the stuff that puts you over the top once the basics are established.   This whole thing is backward.

The run game needs to be credible, the pass/run mix has to be more balanced, and they have to run more plays.

As far as the defense goes, these guys know what to do to get it fixed.   It doesn't need to be great and the pass defense is the least of the issues.   Not like we are playing a Big 12 schedule.

The formula of this defense still works if they can win on 1st and 2nd down consistently (doesn't have to be all the time) and keep the ball in front of them.

At the end of the day this whole season is WIP setting up next year.   Wins and losses are of secondary concern, at least for me.   But the third word in there is "Progress".
