Ive never understood how taking the ball first ever pays off. The only way it even is nuetral is if you end the 1st half on a score which basically means you would be kicking off to the other team next anyway.
With deferring, you have the potential to score at the end of the half then get the ball back again in the 3rd quarter. And while possession for possession it may be the same either way, from a momentum standpoint, starting out the 3rd quarter with the ball can be a great advantage.

I hate the argument

that you can get an extra possession by having the last one in the first half.
Coaches are more concerned with scoring first, not a scenario that's way too dependent on other things.

(2013) or bad (2012 and 2011) defense, it makes sense to want to set the tone and go up 7-0 early rather than watch your defense get steam rolled and go down 7-0 right out of the gate.
For the record i thought our defense was good enough to defer last season, and obviously even better this year.

Dabo has choosend to play defense first if he won the toss all year longed. He just didn't get to pick cause he loosed the toss the first few times.

That still doesn't change the fact that some teams choose to

play defense first.
There are 65,000,000 search results in 0.31 seconds to confirm that.
How was that? The Doc probably hates me....

I agree. For what it's worth, I think as he's gained head coaching experience he's become a better coach in general.

It's true, Dabo has gone thorough most of a steep learning curve.

do not know how you measure his learning curve
he can't beat Spurrier he can't beat Jimbo Last I heard Spurrier was coaching at South Carolina right down the road and then I heard that Jimbo coaches our division rival How come he can't compete in this state or in our division?
His fellow coaches rate him mid-level ACC No other major college football program has the slightest interest in hiring him.
He is pretty good at running his mouth. Touting his killer record of annually beating 6 orphanage type teams and one or two mediocre teams.
Dabo is an empty suit---in his case --- he is an empty clemson sweatshirt.
