Aside from wanting to potentially set the tone on offense first, Coach Shaw also prefers to receive the opening kick in the hopes of "stealing" an extra possession over our opponent before halftime. We were able to get that extra possession today; granted, we did absolutely nothing with it (in part because we had burned 2 TO's on our last TD drive), but the extra "stolen" possession before the end of the first half against SDSU led to a crucial TD that gave us the lead going into half.
Help me understand why we always receive the opening kick.
