The offense has to have a big day or the season is over as a practical matter. this is CRUNCH time. As I have said several times, if we lose today, the seniors are DONE playing in my view. Play the young guys with a reasonable chance of being good in the coming years. 4th string juniors stay on the 4th string.
I think we have a reasonable chance to win today but if we don't sustain drives and score at least 21 in the first half, we are in deep trouble. Minnesota is very mediocre on offense but have a decent running game and if we don't play hard EVERY play all four quarters, we will lose again.
The offense has to avoid major penalties and turnovers. If we give them the ball in our territory, we will lose. This is one area where I feel we have played at a winning level is in offensive turnover. We need to keep turnovers to less than 2 and today, one or none!
