NO. 1

KEEP 'EM HONEST
Sylvester Croom promised a run game to the Vols. But if the Bulldogs can't pass at all, there's little chance that run game will be effective. If Wesley Carroll can complete enough passes in crucial situations to force the UT defense to honor him, Anthony Dixon could burn a run defense that's in the lower third of the SEC.
NO. 2

PLAY PERFECT COVERAGE
As well-timed and quick as Erik Ainge's throws are, it might not do the Bulldogs much good to have a conventional pass rush. Instead, the onus lies on the secondary to play its best game of the year.
NO. 3

PLAY IT COOL
When's the last time MSU had such an important game at home? Exactly. The players shouldn't let the pressure get to them.
