I don't think Zeb is a very good QB and Cam Miller showed us nothing, but we have to play with what we got and we have enough talent to win, but to do so, we need to adjust. Watson can't catch unless he's wide open and gets lucky enough that his arm cradle works. He's fast, get him the ball some other way, or teach him to catch the damn ball with his hands - that's fucking coaching, coach him up. Two guys who can catch the damn ball are Gindorff and Babicz, plus they are giants, lob the ball to them and let them get 4-5 yards play after play. Kobe Johnson likes to run into his O-lineman's butts, which gains zero yards, so maybe you sit him and let someone else run the ball and then show him the film of how to run the ball. On D, we essentially play a 4-1-6 defense - four down lineman, a middle linebacker, three strong safeties, a FS, and two CB's. When you play a team like SIU that's going to run straight at you with large people, maybe you pull out your two extra strong safeties - Kaczor and Cox - and put in some real sized linebackers like Weerts and Hendricks.
