Some of these are obvious, but vital nonetheless.

1. Protect the QB. Give Mitchell time today, and he should be able to pick apart the Texas State secondary.

2. Stuff the run. Texas State's starting QB threw for 9 yards last week - NINE - on 2-of-7 passing. If they can't run, they're cooked.

3. Get Morstead untracked.

4. Youri Yenga - the most legitimate pass rushing threat last week clearly has the quickness to get by people, and should be able to today against a line that's decent but not that quick.

5. Get ahead early. Big early lead might just choke the life out of Texas State.

Key #1 - score more points than the opposition

Offense:
protect the QB
catch the ball

Defense:
Stop the run, penetrate the pocket
CB: disrupt WRs at the line of scrimmage, and catch the ball

Special Teams:
do what you do in practice

Actually our net punting was #19 nationally. Not so bad, though some of those punts were ugly.
