My thoughts are as follows:
1. Offensively we need to score points, in the 20s for sure, just to be competitive. That means not turning the ball over, yet not playing too conservatively. We need to extend drives and finish some of them.
2. Control their running game and get pressure up the middle on the rush. Our strength needs to have an impact on this game and keep them one-dimensional.
3. Expect that they may complete some passes and move the ball between the 20s, but don't panic, tighten up in the redone and force field goals. 3 instead of 7 is HUGE! 5 FGS is 15 pts, 5 TDS is 35!
4. Finally, if we do all these things, we have a fighting chance to compete. And, hope that something happens like an turnover or two from them or a big special teams play.
As a final, hope like hell like refs don't influence the game if we are competing. Always, a big question mark in this rules environment.
