I’m not here to give conjecture on whether it mad a difference in margin in this game.

But if the theory that a messy field doesn’t favor one team over another, why have some programs “watered down the field” in big games in past years? :popcorn:

I have been around the sport and/or been involved in the sport for approximately 35 years and have never actually seen a "watered down field". Poor field conditions is an excuse that the mentally weak use. No coach or player worth their salt is going to use it or allow it to be used.
