We need to Keep It Simple (Stupid) or KISS our season goodbye

We need to start playing real football and drop the gimmicks. Here's what we need to do:
1. Forget the Pat White play. Maybe next year. It's a waste of a down right now.
2. Stick with SOME offensive alignment. The wildcat was working but our regular offense never got in rhythm. We need to find something that works and STICK to it! I'm not suggesting we run the Wildcat for an entire game or even an entire series, but if it works why not more than 2 times in a row?
3. Speed up the game! The constant substitutions (partly due to the wildcat) gives the opposing team too much time to react. If we're going to run the Wildcat, we need to be able to shift in and out of it without making substitutions!
4. Give Ronnie, or Ricky, more carries. Sharing the ball between 3 RBs (Ronnie, Ricky, Cobbs) keeps any one of them from getting in rhythm.
5. Reduce the playbook and give the QB more chance to react. Our team got caught thinking last night rather than reacting. Our 2-minute-drill was terrible, as guys were walking, not running, to the line to get set up! We need to fire up the offense, but to do that we need to simplify the playbook.
