Say we win the toss, do you put our offense or defense out on the field first?

[HaydenHawk56]

Or does it really make a difference here? I would put all the pressure on the clowns to start with the ball first. Take some air out of that stadium with an early stop.

One the road, hostile crowd...you defer.

 

[koralakers]

DEFER. Everyone will be extra pumped right at KO...advantage to Defense, which is REACTIONARY. Offense is more EXECUTION/PRECISION...which can be affected by jumpy EMOTIONS. Always hated us getting ball first every game (almost). RARELY did we ever march down for a TD (EXCEPT when Banks was QB!). Always remember Drew Tate throwing his first 2-3 balls into the 5th row.

Defer....the whole stadium and the team will be going ape crap out of the gate, jumping around scratching their armpits...

 

[uihawk82]

Defer is correct. It is not very windy so that is not a big deal like the 2017 Purdue game and other windy games.

Defer hope they take the ball run their three conscripted plays and A.j. sacks Prudy and he is taken out of game and replaced with their next great QB.

Exactly why you defer. Well said!

But....Kirk will elect to receive.

Do you really want another Steele jantz situation?

 

[loesshillshawk]

Take the ball, experienced QB, better team, hush the crowd.

No but it's hard to be sarcastic when replying. Plus I don't want anyone hurt because if they lose it will already be because of officiating.

With our patented run, play action incomplete, run strategy this right here.

Then we get the secret weapon out to pin them deep
