KEYS TO VICTORY
>> ALL IN: 100 percent for 48 minutes, that’s what the Panthers need against the Spartans. No waiting for a teammate to make a tackle on defense and finishing your blocks on offense. It’s what senior safety Bryce Woody likes to call “Permian football.”
>>MORE OF THE SAME: The Panthers have been dominant on the ground the hast five weeks, led by a mammoth offensive line, quarterback Rodney Hall and running back Juzstyce Lara. The more time that unit is on the field in the first half is going to pay huge dividends in the second half.
>> FORGET THE SCRIMMAGE: It has been 53 days since the Panthers and Spartans tangled in a preseason contest in Van Horn. Permian had a good day and used it as a launching pad for a six-game winning streak to open the regular season. Both teams are different at this point, battle tested and capable of making adjustments on the fly.
