Biggest key to beating Sparty?
Besides having Tate healthy, what is the biggest key for beating little brother this week?
I think that throwing some new stuff at them is it. They will be coming into this game very emotional. A few new looks on both sides of the ball would possibly create confusion and degrade their emotional state further. A confused, emotional little brother should be easier to handle.

I agree with some others who posted that our pass rush will be the biggest key to victory.
Even when BooBoo plays soft coverage he is giving up big plays downfield. IME if you're playing soft corners and dropping 8 DB's and still giving up big passing plays, you might as well blitz numbers and play press coverage on the corners in the hope you can force quick decisions or disrupt timing. You might even sack the qb or force an interception. The downside is that there is a possiblity an accurate downfield throw could go for 6 points. But with the way our defense has been playing and giving up copious points anyway, I would risk giving up the big play for the possibility of making some big plays of our own. I also think that BooBoo is better suited for press coverage. I thought I remembered his recruiting profile describing him as a "press demon".

MAIZE UNIFORMS and we give them their worst beating since the Peloponnesian War, or did they win that one, it's all greek to me.

Stopping the deep pass. We'll score points, we just need to stop the 40+ yard TD passes.
