That thing is damn near unsafe, and we are about to play on it again

All of these kids will have to learn to play on the artificial turf at some point. Just how it is. Once you get used to playing on it, it really isn't that bad.

These boys will play in Canada in a gravel lot, they don't care!
Just ask Burrow.

I have no doubt it’s already come up.
They probably made an adjustment to the field for soccer or some other nonsense which made it play different. My understanding is that the depth of the little black pellets can be adjusted to adjust the surface. But who knows.

False. What we saw last night is not a normal playable surface. That was the worst field I’ve seen and I’ve seen a bunch.

Wouldn’t worry too much about the Georgia dome surface. We’ll be playing in Mercedes Benz stadium.

I agree they should learn to play on artificial, but that field was unplayable last night. Something was wrong with the prep.

At least we have time to prepare- I wonder if a change of cleats could help?

That field is dangerous to the physical well being of these elite athletes. It must be corrected. Surely CFP, Georgia Dome official’s and the universities and teams saw what the viewers did, and are concerned.

What's hard to figure out? OP is talking about the Georgia Dome. Apparently, he is not aware that the SEC championship game hasn't been in the Georgia Dome for years, we did not play in the Georgia Dome last night, nor will we be playing in the Georgia Dome on Dec. 28th.
Damned casuals...
Now, the surface at the Mercedes Benz Stadium yesterday afternoon was atrocious and was directly linked to two severe leg injuries and a number of less severe injuries suffered by Georgia's players.
The LSU equipment staff has the opportunity here to dial in the spikes and bring everything they'll need given the experience they've had with that surface this season.

That turf inflicted two serious leg injuries on Georgia players, and both teams were slipping and sliding.

I didn't even notice the GA Dome in the OP. What an idiot.

We've certainly never seen a player hurt like that on a natural grass field, right?

You don’t recall the Capital One Bowl vs Penn State clearly...

The two leg injuries were a result of not slipping, but instead sticking
