Get Donald Brown going:
Brown was average at best in the opener against Duke and the Huskies line was mediocre. The Huskies want to control temp and pound the ball with a bigger and more physical team. Maine's strength is run defense, so if the Huskies can control the game on the ground it will open things up for Tyler Lorenzen in the air.
Stay disciplined on defense:
The linebackers, particularly freshmen Scott Lutrus and Lawrence Wilson, must keep their assignments and discipline when Maine goes into any type of option run play. Huskies have struggled against these types of offenses in the past and it is because they haven't been disciplined enough. The corners are going to have to shed blocks and make some tackles. Don't let Maine quarterback Michael Brusko to turn the corner.
Act like your better:
This is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. The Huskies are a better team and they should play with that confidence. That means not panicking and being confident in your ability. You don't want to overlook your opponent, but then again, you don't want to play at your weaker opponents level. Maine is a good I-AA program. But, they aren't a Big East program. UConn has to play with that confidence level.
