Pretty sure BK was asked about this once before and he said he would always take the ball.

Ball first.

First team to score takes the momentum first.

I trust our defense, but our odds with our offense seem to be better until proven other wise.

When it has been my call, I have always deferred...

I want to see the offense, but a nice three ans out to start the year would be nice...

I think it depends on the game plan, and the Coaches forte'. Offensive coaches generally take the ball, and Defensive coaches normally defer.

typically, i'd say defer. But in this case, lets see what were made of, get that offense on the field son!

Defer. Show the world that we are confident with our defense.

I like that approach of mental intimidation. Considering Kelly's perceived Offense and Defense games will be more like shootouts ...Take the ball First (and the points).

We can kick off next week.

Just because it will likely be hot this Saturday, I would take the ball and see if we tire Purdue out with the up tempo offense. Earlier the better!

Kick to start the game. Get the ball to start the second half.

I'd probably take the ball. However, either way, just don't be a Matt Hasselbeck and say, "We want the ball, and we're gonna score." Not the way you want to start the season!

I'm a fan of deferring to the second half as well, but Coach Kelly has been preaching his aggressive offensive style since he got here. I think he will elect to receive if given the option. Then he'll get Purdue on the run and keep them on the run. Don't forget men, Saturday's the day we're going to win.

If we win the coin toss; defer. Then take the coin just to let the Big 10 refs know we mean bidnezz.
