Give your 3 most important keys to the game

All the obvious ones are taken, so:

1) Early turnover(s), preferably via interception to get Kizer freaked
2) Insure that the momentum is ours at the half. A score, big hit, turnover, something.
3) Hit them in the mouth to start the second half, worse than they have been or will be the rest of the year - kill their will to fight.


This post should go platinum.
 
1- 0-1 turnovers total. None in the first quarter
2- Get to the QB
3- Skov/Marshall pounding the inside to open the outside lanes
 
Number one priority is the offensive line handling their front 7. If we can do that like when we played Georgia and MSU, but not Iowa, we'll be ok. Their qb will make some mistakes, so even if the D isn't playing well, we should win.
 
Be better than them on
1. Offense
2. Defense
3. Special Teams

1. Keep that linebacker guessing - he's too good for me to expect us to block him consistently. I think we can hit our blocks everywhere else with some regularity.
2. Throw the kitchen sink at the young QB - stunts, drop the DE in coverage, blitz from the safety/corner EVERY passing down.
3. Stop the run in early downs - they are going to rely on the run game to help out the QB. Get some stops on 1st down and get them behind the chains - see #2.
 
1. O-line keeps their D-line from getting penetration to disrupt the option game.
2. We get turnovers with the young QB in the game - at least two
3. Inside linebackers make tackles on runs - they will try to block our D-line with their big OL and run right at us. Linebackers have to play tough and tackle well.
