Our Opening Drive

[SMU21TCU10]

Thinking back. It seems to me like we have won the toss in nearly every game this season. And as everyone knows JJ always elects to receive. However, thinking back I also seem to remember that we have never scored a point on our opening drives. In fact I think we have gone 3 and out on all but 1? So I know JJ is set in his ways. But it seems to me like our D does pretty good on opening drives. Lets elect to defer to the second half for once!

Looking back we've done:

SFA: Incomplete, 2 yard run, Incomplete, Punt
UAB: -4 yard run, 2 yard run, 10 yard pass, Punt
WSU: Didn't win the toss (but we did score a TD on our first possession)
TCU: Incomplete, 0 yard run, -6 yard sack, Punt
ECU: 8 yard pass, 3 yard rush for 1st, 21 yard pass, 6 yard pass, Incomplete, Incomplete, Missed FG
Navy: Incomplete, Incomplete, 6 yard pass, Punt
UH: 8 yard run, -3 yard pass, Incomplete, Punt

Wow, that's pretty pitiful. 5 3 and outs, 1 TD, and a missed FG on our opening possessions.

I think the obvious answer from that run down is--lose the toss!

but hey, pretty much every play can go for a touchdown
