Re: College OT Strategy

When they say they deferred, they meant they'd take the ball second. When you defer the opening coin toss, you just take the ball in the second half, so the same terminology in overtime means that you play offense second.

Are you sure? I think "defer" means you PICK second. So in regulation, if I defer, it means you pick for the first half (and almost certainly take the ball) and I pick for the second (and almost certainly take the ball).
Oklahoma kicked off to start both halves once this year.
