Two things happened in the first 30 seconds of the game that alot of folks on this board called for and complained that the coaching staff needed to do.
1. Not defer. Take the kickoff and set the tone
2. Go for the throat from the get go with an aggressive play.
The staff did both and the players didn't execute. I'm not defending the lackluster performance of the staff but pointing out they did do some of the things this group was clamoring for and the players **** the bed.
Go Bulls!
