Protect Jarrett Stidham -- As self-evident as it gets, right? Give him time to throw on KSU's porous secondary and establish a comfort zone.
RUN THE DANG BALL -- Because our offense is predicated on the run, and Shock Linwood needs to eat.
Execute on Defense -- That means avoiding big plays, keeping containment on the QB, and playing sound football across the board. KSU's offense is not great, and we can't give them easy scores. They're going to be extremely deliberate on offense to possess the football as much as possible, so we have to keep them off-schedule and avoid easy conversions.
DON'T HAVE "SPECIAL" SPECIAL TEAMS -- Something else that is self-evident. Can't give them easy big plays through special teams.
BALL OUT -- Because ball is life.

I never gave you guys my prediction for this game, so here it is:

This is my most ambitious prediction yet, all things considered. I'm totally drinking the cool-aid, and I know it.
