Here's my list:
1. Take Bolton out on earlier downs and use a bigger LB. Bolton played hard against UT but he's the size of a safety, a small safety, and they ran over him a lot from my vantage point in the Cotton Bowl.
2. Get Perk more PT.
3. Teach Gallimore to get low and get leverage. When he plays high he's average.
4. Bench Bookie and give DTY the spot. DTY wasn't great against WV, but I think he's an upgrade, or maybe there's another option for Bookie?
5. Take Norwood out of the rotation. Just too small for this game.
6. Really work on teaching Murray to fill holes with authority. I don't think the staff will bench him, so you've got to improve his indecisiveness. Maybe some designed run blitzes for him?

Overall I'd like to see us a take a few more chances on D, even if we give up some big plays. I thought we played really well against the run in the 2nd half against WV, but their RB was hot garbage and their O-line seemed to wither.
