2. In spite of this knowledge the coaching staff made no adjustments whatever to their offensive strategy. Their entire offense is built around Dixon. They had 13 days to make some adjustments to take advantage Leaf's strengths as insurance in the very likely event Dixon couldn't stay the course, yet made no effort to do so. Had they done so, they very well could have beaten Arizona.
I'll most likely see Jeff sometime over the holidays - want me to say "hi" for you?

I agree about them not working on some sort of offensive adjustments. What were they thinking?!? (She said from the safety and comfort of her couch!)
Yes, do say hi to Jeff. Er, wait, who's Jeff? PM or e-mail me
