Coin lands our way - do we take the ball?

Or go on Defense?
I say Defense.....get the crowd in immediately.....
Let's see what Coach brings....
If our Def got a Strip Sack returned for a TD -----ooooo weee, that would register on the "sphincter scale" for Brian Kelly.
Go Tigers!

That is not one of the options. The three options are:

1. To designate which team shall kick off.
2. To designate which goal line their team shall defend.
3. To defer their team’s selection to the second half.

How is designating yourself to kick off not the same as electing to play defense?

The receiving team could fumble while returning the kickoff...

and therefore no defense would be played by the team kicking off.

well you'll be happy to know that Brian Kelly is 99/100 taking the ball. Drive me/our fanbase crazy. We have every reason to defer, especially in this game, but it's kinda CBKs thing to give the ball to his best unit.

Always defer. This allows for a possible extra possession

Because with their first choice the opponent possibly chooses to kick off.
So you receive opening kick and with your choice in second have you choose to receive.

I know what the rule is. I also know a coach isn't stupid enough to do that.

Defer. Stop their first drive and get great field position to start the game.
Kickoff.
Rinse, repeat.
