Easy answer:

Teams pull the safety up for run support. Our number 1 receiver better be able to beat man coverage on the fly route.

Travin didn't get much separation from the EMU corner

Exactly. Our WRs are dropping balls and not showing any aggression in terms of attacking the ball.

Jockamo - basically correct. Too many bodies near line of scrimmage to account for short passing and running game and Cam/Miles do not feel comfortable with the safety that close who could sit on routes and go in for easy INT. Essentially a combo of what the D is giving us and Miles not trusting any QB on the roster right now who can make good decisions and effectively deliver the ball in the middle of the field. If BH could pass short to intermediary passes with the right amount of touch he would be less worried about an INT or incompletions due to WRS not being able to handle the fast balls.
