Here's a case for taking the ball first, if we can, this Saturday.

BYU had the first possession of the game and scored. It put us on our heels and set the tone for the game.

The same thing with Navy. Navy ate up a ton of time on their first drive, kicked a field goal, and we struggled mightily in the first half.

Miami has two serious Heisman candidates on offense and a stud running back, Fletcher. Let's not defer and give them the ball first, if we win the coin flip.

Miami's offense is a powerhouse, but their defense isn't. In fact, the Miami defense has given up 35 points in its last two games, FSU and UNC.

Let's not be reactive, but pro-active. Let's take the ball and score first. Let's put Miami on their heels and whip our crowd into a frenzy.
