How much did the abnormally high grass affect the game? I'm NOT making excuses for the poor execution, not by any means. It think it did, however, negate the speed differential of the two teams. I thought it was very smart of Arkansas to use any and every homefield advantage they could. Let their big bodies on the line negate their lack of speed in the backfield. Maybe it was minimal at best, but I did think it had SOME impact.
