What Dillon must do:
Dillon's Defense must step it up this game. They must play a physical, hard nosed, smash mouth football game. Make Loris go 3 and out on every possession. Loris will pass the ball, so pressure the QB and make him make mistakes. Special teams must stay in there lanes and shut down all possibilities for long returns.
Dillon's Offense must continue to do what they've done all year. Move the ball. This will be the best defense the Cats have seen all year. Utilize all of Dillon's weapons.
