That Miami game where the DBs lined up too far away from the WRs was one of the reasons for the loss as well. Along with the front 7 not being able to get off the field on 3rd downs, because Beck was able to use his legs. I'm sure that will be worked on next season.
But the IU game, I'm in agreement, that was an offense and ST issue
I'm sure if we played a second game against Miami or IU there would have been some changes on the defense, but outside of the pick 6 and letting them score to get the ball back at the end, the defense gave up 10 points. Maybe count 3 from that last TD since they were in FG range, so 13 points. The offense has to score more than 13 points against anyone. Some of those changes you mention may lead to holes opening elsewhere and more points given up. The main caveat is that Beck showed that he would make mistakes if you pressured him so it might be worth turning up the heat and risk a few more big plays in the hopes that you make up for it with big plays on defense.
