KEYS TO VICTORY

>> MORE OF THE SAME: The Panthers’ defense is allowing just 16.1 points per game so far this season and needs another solid effort against the Rebels.

>> BALL CONTROL: One way to keep a dangerous opponent in check to to hold on the football and Permian’s option attack is built to do that.

>> IN THE MOMENT: The crosstown rivalry is over and that Panthers need to focus on a wounded Rebels’ team in this possible trap game.
