Again, great video report. Very even coverage which is always nice! Looks like a VERY physical game and heated. Also looked like OSU had several early opportunities in on cage but just couldn't convert. Keep the great video reports coming, I love em and I know a bunch of people watch em!

Thanks bhsvideodad!

Great video again! The behind the back from Blackmore at about 1:43 was incredible.

Looks like a lot of people sliding around on that turf. They going to replace that at all?

The Ducks definately have a home field advantage on their turf. I remember every time my team played on it we where all over the place. A drop of water and it turns into a skating rink.

Practing and playing on it on a regular basis gives the Ducks time to figure out what kind of footwear to use on any given day. Looking at some of the pictures from last year, Coffman was wearing hiking boots to gain traction.

The team just got some new team shoes and I don't know how well they are actually working on it. I saw a ton of guys on Oregon fall down last week and the field was actually pretty dry and it was nice out so I don't know how long they will be using those shoes

I don't know if you can blame moisture, at least the game day was dry and warm. It could be the carpet was still wet. Most the the sliding was on one end of the field.

The hiking boots were for lack of a better shoe...they only lasted 2 weeks...enough time to make an impression on some of the SFU defenders tho...
