[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 2751361, member: 18"] Long wet grass slows both teams, so hopefully the speed difference will be the same on whatever field, except if the footing is bad. Bad, muddy fields really hurt the faster team. Bad footing hurt us a little in the Rose Bowl, a lot (IMO) against SJSU in 2000 on that swamp of a field they had. One way a slower field could make a difference is on kick coverage. The ball takes the same amount of time to reach the returner, but the cover guys take longer to get down field, right? More room for the returner to make the catch and start his return. [/QUOTE]
