@Home and with a stout D, it's a no-brainer. Then there's genius Mike McCarthy of the Packers, whose team wasn't @Lambeau nor shows any semblance of having a defense. You do have an offense that dwarfs the league in first-quarter points scored and wins by playing from ahead. So you defer at the new Mile High and...500 more yards yielded by your purported D and a Peyton resurrection later...Genius
Question: If you were the coach what would you do if we win the toss Saturday?
- Thread starter uaintn
- Start date
That just makes it even better. Sad when a team captain is so ignorant of the rules of the game. Sad and funny.
Thanks - Same type of team as 2011, and also at home. I wonder if this means that Saban will take the ball?
I'm siding with the defer group.
Not only does it put our best unit on the field to start the game, but getting the ball to start the second half gives you two things:
1) The ability to maintain momentum if you are ahead coming out of halftime.
2) The ability to establish momentum if you didn't fare well in the first half.
It may be the coffee talking this morning...but part of me feels like the only thing LSU has a fair chance of winning on Saturday is the coin toss. RTR

This. You definitely don't want to allow them the opportunity to potentially drive the field on the first series, but that's exactly what you want from your offense. Best way to beat Fournette is to keep him on the bench.
Depending on the weather I'd more than likely DEFER.
I might DEFER even if weather is not a consideration.

Saban noted after the Georgia game that with the weather he wanted to score first and early to avoid having to come back due to the weather conditions. This leads me to believe if given the chance he will receive.
To the question I think defer and try to get them 3 and out and establish field position. Somebody try to help me here... I am almost certain Coach Stallings elected to kick against someone and wound up kicking to start both halves???
EDIT: Actually Arky kicked to us both halves in 1994.

If you defer it doesn't mean you kick off. The other team has the choice to kick or receive.
You get that same choice to start the 2nd.

only idiots choose to kick off if you defer because that gives the ball to the team that deferred both halves. In other words if Bama defers and LSU chooses to Kick Off, Bama gets to take the ball at the start of both the first and second half....LSU would have given up their right to choose.
