Play-calling and game planning need to be more flexible. Don't fall in love with a game-plan ever.
Secondly, play against the best your team can possibly play and by that I mean do not play against the scoreboard or your opponent, play against the mistakes you make and make sure they don't happen twice, which is far too common in this ND team. (Nick Saban method of coaching)
Lastly, coach the players to be as physical as possible without fear of injury. If players get hurt in practice because they are physical, that will only prepare the players behind them to be as physical.
