If TIgers win toss

I like our defense's chances.

Delay the short side option as long as possible. Play defense first

Take the ball, let JJ get his token start and punt on 1st down. then bring in JL

I'd want the ball. Hopefully Peterson houses the kick-off. Then the defense picks Newton off for a pick 6 and we're up 14-0 before Jefferson even steps foot on the field. After he fumbles the 1st drive and throw a pick the next, we'll be tied 14-14 and Lee's turn in the rotation. It'd be like starting the game with Lee at 0-0!!

Take the ball! Limit the time our D is on the field.

should they take the ball first or give Newton a shot first!

Which is bigger risk, our offense going three and out on first possession of the game or Newton putting together a touchdown scoring drive to open on our defense.

Differ, they'll receive and then we can kick again to start the second half.

I say let JJ have his start and his one set of downs than we can get to JL for the rest of the game.

Have to put your defense out on the field first and get the second half possession always. The only way I wouldn’t do this is if you had a lights out offense that couldn’t be stopped, since we don’t have that issue, defense.

You take the fricking ball. On the road, you have to get points first to take the crowd out(or at least try). If we defer then Les really is a dumbass.

but our QB is going to at best go 3 and out and punt, and likely turn it over to them for an easy score.
