I am really curious if there is an offensive or defensive advantage to the field type. The Benz uses field turf artificial turf.

I read at one site that it helps cutting speed but not straight ahead speed. Do any of you know if this is true?

Are there any other advantages in the dome for one team or the other? I expect a little more crowd noise for UGA due to more fans, but that probably is a wash.

It should certainly help CEH. He has made a living off making defenders miss.

If the field type does help cutting, it seems it would help the offense the most and thus, LSU the most.

Look at LSU/AU and UGA/UK, I think everyone plays better indoors.

It takes the element factor out. Our field killed us against AU.

Where are the other TDs going to happen. You're going to need 21+ points.

Not sure. Georgia looks really good on paper though. Perhaps they could play on that?

I don't know, but Swift is the king of that and the dead leg. I hope his shoulder is good. If not, he might be more a liability than asset.
