If we win the coin toss... do we receive or defer.


Dec 31, 2018, 4:58 PM

I’d love to go out there and score first on Alabama. But id also love to see them knock Tua on his butt very early on. Just curious what should the Tigers do?

Defer

We've probably won 80% of the coin tosses this year and deferred every time. Dabo likes the ball to start the 2nd half.

Bama has a strong first series

Prefer we defer though.

Last year’s Sugar Bowl might have been closer if we were able to kickoff. We lost field position battle all game even though our defense was tough.

Receive, target Surtain JR and run it down their throats. We need to set the tempo first. This Bama D can be ran on.

we start slow so we elect to go on defense first***

Based on the season decisions - defer

I would receive with our offense. You can’t score without the ball. Plus, if you receive, you have the possibility of having the last possession of the first half too. That gives you one more offensive opportunity than your opponent.

How many times have we heard fans say things like “if we just could have gotten the ball back one more time” or “ we just ran out of time”. If you receive to open the game you just might have gotten that opportunity to have the ball “just one more time”.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I know it’s against what we have done this year


Dec 31, 2018, 5:56 PM

but I say we receive and show that mighty Bama defense they are going to be in a dogfight all night.

Besides Bama has scored on its opening drives at like a 90+% clip. From a mental aspect I don’t want to go down 7-0.

Defer for a couple of reasons.

1. We seem to start slow on offense and our punting would probably give Bama the ball around the 45 for their first possession. That being said not so sure we are better to start the second half.

2. Defense can get out there and hopefully get a stop to give us a field position advantage. But we know Ray Guy will show up.

Why can't we do both - put tua on his butt and score first??***

defer


Dec 31, 2018, 6:45 PM

must show early strength in weathering Bama's very typical first-quarter juggernaut-ish onslaught that leaves teams' heads spinning and doubting themselves. These stops will get in their head.

Also, interestingly, our offense warms up slowly like an old Ford, doesn't really blast out the gate.

Excuse me, but didn't Travis Etienne score from 60+ yards out on our very first play from scrimmage in a game this year?

I think that qualifies as blasting out of the gate.

Coaching 101: You kick off and defer to the second half.


Dec 31, 2018, 7:57 PM

Not sure why it’s even a question.
