Speed is a difference today. Speed is good. If you're good and you're fast, you're probably better than someone who is not as good or as fast as you. The Lions divide their season between the grass field at Beaver Stadium and the artificial surface on the road. They have already won games at Minnesota, Temple and Indiana.
Players say they are able to get better traction and the field makes the game quicker.
I personally like turf. I just really don't like hitting it. I prefer to fly around and be a lot faster. You get better breaks on the ball, but it's a different story when you're hitting it every play. It tends to take its effects.
