What I Hope to see...

What I Hope to see against Minnesota....
On Offense...
An improved passing game. Last years offense was one dimensional. We had no ability to spread the field (even with a spread offense). I don't recall completing a deep pass all season.
Use the passing game to set up the run. If Minnesota knows we can't throw more than the dink pass, they will put 8-9 in the box and shut down the run.
On Defense...
Give up no big plays. Make them work for every first down. Chances are Minnesota will make mistakes the more snaps they take. Our secondary should be the most improved part of our defense. If we go out there and hit like we did at Wisconsin two years ago, Minnesota will crumble.
Special Teams...
The worst part of our team for the last two years. If we can't kick deep or show lack of kickoff coverage then I hope we just kick the ball out of bounds or dribble it to a slow guy. A field goal would be a bonus too.
Overall...
I feel we have a lot of raw talent, I hope they have found some team chemistry and play like they know what they are doing this year.
Good Luck Falcons. I'll be watching from a watering hole in 'Bama.
