Winning the coin toss

[nudan92]

Someone convince me that it’s smart to take the ball instead of deferring to the second half.

I’ve been bitching about this since SF been head coach..

What is his reasoning to have the wind today in the 4thQ.

He was hoping for a quick start and a dominant offensive performance in the first quarter. Oops.

Did Osborne ever go on offense first when winning the coin toss? If so I don't remember it. But I think Frost has done it almost every time we win the toss.

He must think this is his UCF team that was scoring 60 points a game.

No very very very seldom..

This is a non-issue.

That's not very convincing. I need someone to give me stats, back this up. Frost must have a good statistical reason for doing this.

I think it‘s is a big issue to get the ball in the 2nd half..

He thinks he can score.

Someone in the media needs to ask this idiot why he has the 98th ranked scoring offense in the country and continues to want the ball. The defense is far better then the offense. Frost is dumd as a rock,, no way around it.

In my mind it's like giving the other team a free turnover. Yes, we had 1:30 to try and score, but that's not really enough time for a team like Nebraska that can't throw the ball downfield. Frost thinks he's coaching his high powered UCF team still.

Or you can get the ball in the first half... what difference does it make?

But you can’t have two consecutive possessions by taking the ball in the first half. More often than not you can get two possessions in a row by deferring.

Clearly Frost knew he will not score a touchdown in the second half, so he needed as many first half possessions as possible.
