Given the way we have seen a number of games start…

…I would, counter to prevailing wisdom, elect to receive at the start of the game (should I win the toss.)

It would be very helpful for the Cats to score first. Start with momentum and never relinquish it.

Agreed. And if somehow RU wins and chooses to receive, go into the prevent defense. Anything but a 50 yard first play

Yeah. If I was Schiano, I'd run a flea flicker or something on the first play just to mess with Jim O'Neil's head.

The 'cats have dug quite a hole this season, but we've got our QB for now and we've had the bye week to retune the run defense. Hopefully we are ready to turn the corner tomorrow!

If we turn the corner, I will be very surprised, but we can hope.

Wouldn’t a 50 yard first play actually be an improvement?
