If we win the coin flip

[lionfoorest]

If we happen to win do we take the ball first and hope to drive straight down the field and put up 7 or do we kick and try to stop them and score first that way? I really like either way. I am so rdy to see our offense dominant that I think I would pick take the ball first. But the fact that you can score before half and then get the ball back again is big. What do you all think? Btw we will win big!

I'd like to see us take the ball and run it down their throats, make Big Game Bob like it, and score seven points.

Then again, it'd be nice to kick it off and see Derek Barnett rush past Orlando Brown, Jr. and strip-sack Mayfield on their 18 yard line.

i prefer to defer.

Receive --> Offense --> Set a fast pace --> Score first.

With the pace, and crowd frenzy, make them wonder exactly what the hell they have gotten themselves into.

Gotta go on defense. Set the tone early while the crowd is going nuts.

Yes. Welcome them to Neyland with two loss of yardage running plays and a sack. Loudest crowd....EVER.

Take D first everyone is loud and ready yell, nothing worse than having to sit quiet for drive and I like the getting the ball second half too.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

I would always defer. At home our crowd will be loud and rowdy at the beginning of the game.

On the road, I want them to have the ball so there crowd will have to cool off before the offense takes the field.

 

[MikeTheVol]

Take the BALL! :good!: Show "Big Stage Bob" who's boss right out of the gate with 7.

[Power T-Rev]

Take the ball and let Evan Berry take it to the house on the opening kickoff. Talk about LOUD!

not sure if that's sarcasm or not, but it did, and does...

 

[Recoil]

As long as Hurd gets a chance to step on Striker's face mask at some point in the game, I don't care if Medley kicks the first one out of bounds.

 

[MT LeConte]

I'm usually for deferring, but in this game take the ball and score. Don't give OU a chance to dampen the crowd on first possession of the game.

If OU wins the toss I think they wall take the ball.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Defer.

Get the 1st 2nd half possession. Crowd won't need to quiet down right after the opening kick off.

 

[Deputy Fife]

i prefer to defer.

Always

 

[slobberknocker]

I prefer to defer in answering this question.

 

[terrypedigo]

Put the Defense on the field and show Oklahoma last week was a mirage, i hope.

 

[ntxVOL]

Crowd likely won't be more pumped in the 1st half than right at kickoff. I say defer.

 

[pasadenavol]

DEFER! Let OU have the ball first and get a taste of how loud the crowd can be - noise causes false starts, miscommunication, etc. PLUS - getting the ball first in the 2nd half allows you to increase or decrease the gap (score)

 

[vtvol98]

not sure if that's sarcasm or not, but it did, and does...

Just a fact.

 

[nvr2loranger]

take the ball. Playaction and go deep to north the first play.

 

[Mr. Lofton]

Defer. Let the 4 new o-line starters come out and try to get off on the snap. They've heard 80K loud, they haven't heard Neyland loud! They will be at least a half step slow getting off and CM and DB will live in the backfield all night. We force fumbles and int's and win going away.

 

[Jayoung21]

If we win the toss?? hahahahaha. We're somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-654616541654 winning the toss. But if we did happen to win, defer.
