Help me understand why 
Help me understand why we always receive the opening kick

  Winner of the coin toss has 2 options:
1.  Receive kickoff, or
2.  Choose goal to defend

99 times/100 the correct call is to choose the goal to defend.  Mainly due to environmental factors, e.g. sun angle, wind direction, etc.

When coin toss winner decides which goal to defend, the other team usually chooses to receive.

Which means Stanford, more often than not, lose the opening coin toss.

When announcers say the team chose to "defer", it's mainly due to ignorance of the protocols

Hope this helps
