One thing that I would evaluate is KF's automatic decision to always take the ball when we win the coin flip. I do not understand the logic. On one hand it says you have confidence in your offense. However, in most situations it really creates a bit of a handicap for the team in the 4th quarter as the Hawkeye offense is usually trying to score against the wind. When your game plan is already built upon keeping the score close and the necessity for conservative execution, it seems that having the wind advantage on end-of-the-game drives would be helpful to the offense as well as having the opponent driving into the wind would be beneficial to the Hawkeye defense. What am I missing?
