I'm not sure how you fail to monitor and adjust such a basic thing as footing. We learned in the press conference 2 weeks ago that the players sleep and stress levels are monitored via a computer system. Maybe they need another assistant AD for player footwear.1. McSorley for the punt.
2. Barkley on principle.
3. Equipment manager for choosing the wrong shoes.
4. Moorhead for controlling time of possession.
5. Franklin for being excited afterwards. (iowa is just like Georgia State, Akron, North Penn, etc.)
Equipment gets put in a tractor trailer and driven to the games. So-no.The airlines limit carry-ons and charge for checked baggage. Maybe the players could each only pack one pair of shoes.
Well, don't forget Freis is the third string RT. Not having our 6' 7' RT hurt us a lot.

I don't think Spider is actually the equipment manager anymore.

The high school fields my son's school played on that had turf were better than that field.
To clarify about McSorley's punt, there was no penalty. The penalty after the touchdown was for the player/crowd interaction afterward. The penalty backed up the PAT try which was run in the victory formation. McSorley took a knee, the game was then over, and he kicked the ball. He obviously did it out of combination of frustration and relief. Those who took it as a sign of disrespect need to get a life.
Am I the only one who misinterpreted his comment? It seemed to me when I heard his comment that he felt that all OOC wins were important but equivalent; i.e., Akron = Pitt = Georgia State. I never got the impression that he felt that conference wins were on that level. I assumed that he thought Big Ten games were more important. I would think that repeating as conference champion would be one of his team's goals. It won't surprise me if Penn State beats Indiana, regardless of score, he equates that win with Iowa but it would surprise me if he thinks that all wins are the same. Maybe it's just me.
As well as he played before his injury, he had some problems in coming back last week as well.
This might be the turf equivalent of letting the grass grow higher to mitigate teams with greater team speed.
that is a shame. New field turf should not have the black pellet issue, even my local high school got new field turf installed this summer that does not have the black pellet issue
Miami at New England, late 70's early 80's, game played in a blizzard. Late in the scoreless game, the Patriots line up to attempt a FG. Ron Meyer, the Patriots coach at the time, spots a guy on a ATV with a snow plow, instructs him to get the plow out there and clear a spot for the holder. He runs the plow out, clears the spot, New England kicks the field goal and upsets the Dolphins 3-0. Shula went ballistic, but the result stood.
Notre Dame pulled that on USC and Reggie Bush a few years back.
