If we Win the TAMU Opening Coin Toss, should we receive or defer?

[yjnkdawg]

My first thought is to receive, because if we could score on that opening drive, then that may deflate them some and they are playing catchup. The downside is, if we didn't score, we wouldn't get the ball for the second half kickoff. The best case scenario would be to defer and hold TAMU on their first drive, and then for us take the ball and go down the field and score on our first drive. Then we would still get the ball to begin the second half. What do yall think?

[msstate7]

Receive. aTm starts like every game 7-0. I want to scratch first

[starkvegasdawg]

Against most teams I would say defer. This time I say receive.

[RossDawg82]

I say we go in with some confidence and give them the ball to open and at the half. That will show them who's boss

[IMissJack]

Take the ball and drive about 6 minutes.

[preachermatt83]

defer... imagine the atmosphere of that stadium of we shut them down on their first series.

[whosyourdawgy]

Take the ball and drive about 6 minutes.

And score a TD!

defer... imagine the atmosphere of that stadium of we shut them down on their first series.

Or imagine how deflated it will be with an opening TD drive

[ScoobaDawg]

take the ball. we are going to knock em in the mouth quick and fast. then 4 and out and do it over. Push them in to playing from behind the whole game.

I prefer to look at it from the optimists perspective. There is a reason I won the sunshine pumper award bro. hahaha.

Normally that's an easy call but not so much tomorrow. I really don't know but I may be inclined to receive. It will be interesting to see how it is handled if we do win the toss.

[DancingRabbit]

Normally I'm a defer guy, especially with the defense we have.

But tomorrow I would receive, and hopefully we start with a methodical impressive TD drive.

[drunkernhelldawg]

Take the ball

[rcsteph1]

Take the ball! Score first and never take foot off the gas. We have to outscore A&M, best way to do that is get on the board first.

[StarkVegas]

as long as we don't pull a Texas and say we want to kick off

Receive. We need to strike first if at all possible. If we get behind without answering it gets tough, get down two scores and we're probably done.

[missouridawg]

Against most teams I would say defer. This time I say receive.

Same for me. Defer to 11 other teams. Receive against aTm.

[gravedigger]

Receive

[Martianlander]

Receive-take every possession you can get against A&M.

[TrapGame]

Receive it. Definitely.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Have we won a toss this year? I would defer, but hopefully we would be the first to score in the first half on our 2nd or 3rd possession. In the past against good teams we seem to die if we open the game with a quick score, but maybe this team is different.

[IMissJack]

We won LSU I believe.
