KEYS TO VICTORY

>> 48 MINUTES: The Bobcats have to be the sole focus for the Panthers, every snap, every yard, every second, especially on defense. San Angelo Central is capable of moving down the field quickly and goes sideline to sideline on defense, so Permian has to match that intensity from the start.

>> TRENCHES: The Panthers’ offensive line can take over a football game when it wants to, allowing the coaching staff to shove the ball down an opponent’s throat, while keeping opposing offenses off the field with time-consuming drives. The less the Bobcats have the ball, the better.

>> SKILL EARLY: The top players thrive in a game like this and Permian needs to get its best involved from the opening whistle. Whether it’s a big run or pass play on offense, a sack or turnover on defense, Permian needs to establish its dominance from the outset of the contest.
