Widths are supposed to be regulation, but I've seen some insanely narrow fields to accommodate tracks around the outside.

Are you insinuating that Texas HS FB is similar to AFL or what?

They only do that for 8-man football which developed in extremely rural areas of Texas for obvious reasons

they are probably trying to hype up TEXAS FOOTBALL more with better stats.
the state of Texas is dying to be respected but no one will ever give a shite.

They play on shorter fields when they play 6-man football in smaller towns.
40-yard line is midfield.

kids spend a lot of time playing video games and whatnot these days so don't have the endurance that we had as children growing up back in the day
