re: We win the toss.....

Excellent question. The trend is to defer and I usually agree with it. Getting the ball first in the second half is a fresh start if you are behind, and demoralizing to the other team if you are ahead.

However, having Gurley run over them for the first score would be nice. And if our defense were to give them the first score, with all of our fears there, it could really suck the wind out of us.

So. I think break tradition and take the ball.
