Does wet field help or hurt App State?

thats a typo for either raining really hard, or the big cats very happy about the game. :grin:

 

You guys are bringing me back a few years when we played Oregan State to start the season.

 

Trindon Holliday on a wet field = $$$

 

I may be wrong, but I don't think the field will even be an issue. All the rain from Fay will be gone by Tuesday, leaving only typical afternoon type showers until gameday.. It'll take a whole lot more than that to keep that field wet enough to bother anyone... or not.. :lol:

 

I would hope it drains well. They put enough money into it last year.

 

Their offense is more dictated by timing than LSU's, so a sloppy field hurts them more imo.

 

keiland, murphy and scott and hopefully trindon are going to have a field day. appy state is fast and will try mainly 5-9 yard slants and hope the wr's can break /shake a tackle for a big play-- i just dont see them running up the middle or sweeps around a faster, bigger and generally more superior and more disciplined d.

LSU 34-appy 17

 

LSU is faster by far at every position except QB... a slow field hurts LSU... but the field will be fine...

LSU 35 ASU 7

 

I don't understand anyway why people say rain ONLY slows down the faster team.

If LSU averages a 4.4 40 and ASU averages a 4.7 40

and ran slows you down by .1, then LSU is still .3 faster than ASU

 

Well, because if a team's gameplan is built around speed (i.e. lots of slants, sweeps, misdirection plays), and that speed is taken away, the offense tends to be less effective.
