Our Opening Drive

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
