Texas has to:
Get aggy out of system so Cos-Okpolla can't just destroy us offensively
Stay in system so that Swindle can spread it around and Cos-Okpolla can't just camp out on AVW/Stafford
Ensure Gary and Halter are both in the back row when Lednicky is in the front row - need all the help defensively we can get
Need to target their shorter blockers when they are in the front row - 5'10 setter Waak, 6'1 MB Perkins, 5'11 OH Stowers
We have played some fast offenses - our block is a little slow to deal with it, so our backrow defense has to be really good.
Funny enough, we played like crap in CS and won 3-1 last year, with a much more experienced team - we got outblocked 14-5 and outdug 52-49 and we had 5 more hitting errors than aggy. Also only hit .175 to their .185.
If we can ugly the match up, I like our chances to win it solely due to our backrow defense and our ability to terminate slightly better than aggy (.278 hitting % in SEC play for aggy, .327 for Texas)
