We will have to win out.
1. Do not let the LBs rush too much. We need them to plug holes and stop the run. The DLine is actually doing a surprising job at pressuring on their own. Keep the LBs back. Rely on Duane Akina. He's the best coach at that position in the country. So, if the the DLine is not getting after the QB, keep the LBs back and just trust that Akina has the DBs on task.
2. Let Case be great. He's not the most accurate passer, but Applewhite needs to keep letting him be great. Keep throwing those bombs. We're going to have to chance to be great to get by Baylor as well as Okie St and TTech. So, let him keep trying and succeeding. Don't pull a Greg Davis and try to "play down" like we did in the 2nd quarter of the 2009 BCSNCG. Let the guy be great. We need that.
NOTE: besides this last game, we usually win the Special Teams battle. I don't see us putting up another stinker in that department.
