One thing I haven't read yet is an emphasis on special teams. We haven't had good kick coverage ALL year. I would bet that our opponent is averaging starting from their 40 when we kickoff. That could be a problem with your speedy returners.
For us, we have Javier Arenas who is as good as they come in kickoff returns, but we get a block in the back or holding penalty probably 9 out of 10 times.
If the game is close, which I think it will be, the emphasis placed on special teams will be a major factor in who gets the win.

VERY true. Field position is going to be at a premium for both teams in this one. Arenas is always scary with the ball in an open field......I hate that guy!
Speaking of, it is essential Les/Crowton address that corner blitz package with Arenas. He was a serious pain in UT's arse.
