Just saw a video, why make it short, and for 35 Million, it's not 100 yards? https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article215412995.html Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you can't do on that is a full scrimmage. Every drill and every bit of game planning can be done. Unless you want to practice 4th and 95.

On a regulation field you put the ball on the respective 35’s going in (opposite directions). With the QB’s and RB’s at 7 yds each side, they’re at the 42’s with 16-ish yards between. With a 70 yard field - no shot. You’d have to spot the ball on the 20’s and every play becomes red zone going in. Not enough room to run your deep routes.

It’s not really appropriate to cut and paste info from behind a paywall either .... so maybe a little more creativity next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appropriate and Footnfan1, two words rarely seen together. I'll try to be more creative next time, but that is not a strength though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Paraphrase means put in your own words .... forgot I was talking to a Kanigit fan. Edited August 21, 2018 by Triple B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
