I think that Jax and Dryden have nailed the keys for the Bucks, at least defensively. Eliminate the run, especially on first down. Force Purdue into obvious passing situations, and Heacock can roll the dice. It's tough to blitz spread option teams, which is why I think you didn't see as much heat last night. I expect to see more pressure against the Boilers. If the Bucks can force them into third and long, keep everything in front, and bust the receivers after the catch. The speed of the Bucks on D, along with the improved tackling, will be critical. Someone who I think will play a key role is Trapasso. If he can keep dropping punts inside the 15, and force the opponent into longer type of scoring drives, I like the Bucks' chances.
