1) Run Reed Run: Turn Reed loose and let him run often. I understand not wanting him to run a bunch in the regular season. With his slight build you don't want him taking that punishment too often. But in the playoffs he must run and run often. He is too dynamic and talented as a runner to just sit in the pocket and throw with a low passing %. When Reed is rushing the offense it at their best. Totally keeps opposing defense off balance when he is running like JFF used to.

2a) Get Healthy Moss back: Pretty obvious but this guy is a difference maker when healthy. Picks up short yardage with ease, breaks tackles and is a homerun threat. A dominant back when healthy.

2b) If Moss out then EJ for all short yardage plays & more carries: If Moss out, EJ is clearly the next best short yardage back. I don't want to see other backs attempting to throw passes at the goal line or trip over blades of grass. EJ should be short yardage back 100% of the time when Moss is out. Additionally, EJ should be getting more rushing attempts (even if Moss returns).

**Please pass on this note to the Aggie coaching staff.**
(I made a similar plea before the LSU game. LSU defense has been stout most of the year but had no answer for when Reed was running. Let Reed do what he is best at!)

Great Write Up Here - Onionman

I would add the following:

Go back to being what we Really Are - An RPO offense.
Therefore implement lots of RPO's plays to keep the defense off balance.

Lastly, Marcel is not a Heisman candidate any longer...
Therefore stop trying to make him out to be a pocket passer, something he's not.
This results in him forcing throws that are Not There, resulting in interceptions.

I did wonder if Reed was hurt during the game more than he let on and maybe that was why we appeared to run more drop back offense in the second half.
