i would vote to start on defense. never understood deferring since your just letting the other team choose. personally wouldnt start on offense because if you start on defense you get an extra posession in the second half when it matters most

You defer to get the ball for sure in the second half..This isn’t rocket science.

Once you choose something, the other team gets to choose the second half. If we choose defense, we have made our choice. The other team will choose to receive the second half, giving them starting possession in both halves. Deferring means we will defer to make our choice until the second half.

Glad you aren’t our coach.

I would bet 90%+ of 7 year olds understand this concept

You say "we take the ball and we're going to score", right into the mic.

Somebody actually did that once. Don't remember the deets...or if they scored, but I liked it.

yant the directional school and pyschologically deflate the mfers from the start. dont give them anything they can believe in and hang around in contention.

If you choose defense you're giving opponents 2 hypothetical more offensive series. If you defer then I hope opponents take defense then I get the ball both halves

I vaguely remembering this happening when we played at Southern Miss in 2003. They won the toss and chose to play defense so we got the ball to start the game. We, of course, chose to receive the ball to start the 2nd half.

So I always just assume that posters are also like big fans...

Then I see posts where they don't understand the coin toss or they say things like "I hate that the game is at 1130 because I am going fishing that day" or "does anyone know what station the game is on" and one of my favs that I still see "Is there a chance it will be on pay per view?"


I always just assume that we all know the rules of the game and that we all, you know, watch the game.

Get ahead early so NW can't control the ball with the run game.

If the Skers get up two scores this game is going to be over fast.

My guess...if the skers get the ball first you will see a super safe D by NW...hoping NU trips on their own dick and has to punt.

If NW gets the ball first, it will be all running game.

Prince Amukamara also learned this the hard way at least once, when he chose "defense" after winning the toss against Missouri in 2010. He said he thought that was what you had to do because that's how it works in Madden games :|

Take the ball. Act like you want to take control of the game from the first kickoff.
