Every coach in America chooses defense first in overtime.
Tell me you know nothing about college football OT without saying you know nothing about college football OT.
I understand your thought, but no way a coach makes that decision. Can’t do it.
I agree, if people read my post beyond the first line that was what I was trying to convey, they were completely gassed because of crappy playcalling on our last possession and them being on the field for so long at the end of regulation. I just wonder if he even considered it in the situation, isn't that what football is about situational?
I 100% agree with you. Maybe everyone in the country chooses defense first, but your logic is actually right. Two things happen had we chose offense first —— one, our defense gets a breather, and second, had we settled for a field goal on offense, our defense would have had that added urgency to keep them out of the end zone. Even if defense goes first, giving up a TD isn’t the end of the world, because the offense still comes out. I think situationally this would have been a risky, yet strong strategic choice to put offense out first. It’s all in the past now. I don’t think that’s the main issue for our loss anyway. Giving up two turnover touchdowns killed us tonight.
No coach on earth doesn’t go on defense first. To critique Lebby for something literally every other coach, regardless of age, would have done is not the best argument.
