Easy answer to our short yardage probems.

1. Zac calling a bland play with Perine in the game instead of Mixon. (biggest moment deserves biggest players despite the seasonal tendencies).
2. Perine for running straight ahead and not being able to get it.
3. Oline not being strong enough to get 1 yard. 

I'd not consider running a play under center to be a problem because it's not as successful and the defense would have been packed in tighter.

How could they be packed in tighter? They had 8 in the box.

If Perine had just run straight ahead from the snap with Burrow under center, he has a lot better chance to get it because he hits the line faster, the defense has less time to react, and he has more momentum.
