I agree that the early possessions will set the tone for this one. We'll know after the first couple of possessions what kind of game this is gonna be.

I'm willing to bet JC will want the ball first to try to start off the game with offense and clock management. I expect to see onside kicks, trick plays, and some passing..


They damn sure better manage the clock well or it's gonna be a long, cold night for them.  They need to start precisely the way they did last year---with a long, sustained drive eating up a lot of the first quarter and culminating with a touchdown.  That could set the tone for a really good game.  If Corbin jumps out with a couple of early scores, it will be a tough night for the Eagles.

If we win the toss, what do we do? I’m 50/50. I’ve got confidence in this D, but as Letcher has already shown us, you can put point on JC this year in bunches

Defer, give them the ball…. 

If he defers I’m liable to storm the field like Normandy
