Three keys for beating Tech

The three keys for beating GT IMHO are:
1. Not loosing the turnover battle by more than one.
2. The right side of the Offensive Line (especially Fruhmorgen) providing a little better protection to DW4 than they have given so far (and I am talking split seconds). I think this side of the OL is definitely weaker tha what we had last year. If this side of the OL improves our offense will produce last year's numbers.
3. The Tigers not playing the "prevent" defense in the fourth quarter (or any quarter). Always think that the game is tied. The only thing a "prevent" defense does is prevent our defense from allowing the opposition to score. Besides our guys (think Boulware)love to blitz; Boulware himself admitted that he would rather blitz and hit someone than chase WRs or RBs in the middle of the field.
If we do all three, the score will be 38-14 or thereabouts otherwise it will be closer.
My two cents; interested in knowing what the Gurus on this Board have to say.

Never taking our foot off the accelerator is the thing that has cost us several games in the last few years. Think Auburn at their place. Getting ahaead and pouring it on wins games. Getting a little lead and trying to run clock brings close games and some losses. Along with losing to AU, wedarned near lost to ND in a game where we got a big lead, let up letting them almost catch up, pouring it on again and getting another good lead, and then letting up and almost losing the game. I like the way Barry Switzer did it. A 75-3 score, or a 58-0 like UM last year seems like a great ambition to me.

How does one "loose" a turnover battle? Has anyone ever played prevent D against the triple option?
