Agree.  Take care of business.  This should be a vanilla game in terms of new plays.  ED should get an early lead, build it up and step aside getting all players on the field for experience.

There should be no let up from the 1s, the 2s should get extensive work and should not let up.  The bench should be cleared with nearly everyone getting tie on the field, if not all.

I will be disappointed if the team lets up and Wagner is in this game at the half.  The staff has no excuse not to keep the team focused after last week's let down.*

I would like to ED's stats padded a bit towards passing, less runs (no need to get risky, though a few runs to keep Wagner honest is acceptable).  I want TD to get meaningful experience and show us what he can do.  I expect receivers to step up for both ED and TD (as well as Rex and Chance - gotta love the name, just give Chance a chance).  I expect the running game to produce 300 yards without ED running 200.  I expect the D to look much better and more effective.

*For the record, I don't blame the let down on TD, the whole team seemed to take the stance that because ED stepped off the field, the game was over and they didn't need to play the game.  This attitude flues in the face of everything HCDB has done since he arrived: Never let up, you are in every game until you check out (massive injuries and no bench excepted).  We are I year three of HCDB, we have his players on the field as 1s and/or 2s.  The bench is deeper than anything he has had to work with since he got here and we know what he can do with undersized, under speed, and no depth teams (VATech, Clemson, hanging with top 25  teams to the end).
