I think we need to do three things:
1 - Run the ball
This will be much easier if Gio's hamstring is closer to 100% than it has been. If we can't run the ball and control the clock, we're toast because our defense has been on the field too long this season, and is susceptible to breaking down
2 - Blitz, Blitz, Blitz!!
What do we have to lose? throw everything and the kitchen sink. Hopefully environment will be loud and raucous, and aid our defense. Environment was fantastic two years ago, and i hope it is replicated. Yes we are taking the risk of PSUs wide receivers going off, and if blacknall beats us, so be it. But thats better than sitting back and watching Barkley run over our defense, like last year.
3 - Connect on a few shots downfield.
Gio's got the arm to do this, and connected on a 37 yard TD pass in the Minnesota game. OL has been playing better as of late, and last game allowed zero sacks. If we can get the passing game going, it'll spur the running game.
4 - Avoid Turnovers
We're not good enough to win if we lose the turnover battle.
There hasn't been one complete 60 minute good game all season long. I think we're due.
