Offensive keys to winning:
The Eagles need to get their offense rolling early. They will score points, it’s just a matter of how many they can score. They need to score a lot.
Defensive Keys to winning:
Keep doing what they’ve done all year. Serra defense is opportunistic as they have forced 54 turnovers and returned 11 of them for touchdowns. Keep the ball out of Garcia’s hands.
