TCU Slipping
I have noticed along with the announcers that TCU is slipping a lot. This worries me because Oregon will be using the same cleats for the NTG.
Oregon as we all know is fast but if the cleats dont hold a lot of those quick cuts will not happen. Slips turn into INT's if the receiver falls or major losses if the RBs do. Or TD's if our DBs fall

Re: TCU Slipping
The field down in Pasadena has been getting drenched so I doubt it's dried out completely, which would account for the slippage. If it's just TCU slipping, then I would then question the cleats.justducky0 wrote:I have noticed along with the announcers that TCU is slipping a lot.

Re: TCU Slipping
true, It just seems like it is way more TCU than WISC. A good thing is that Glendale is a covered field.

Re: TCU Slipping
as someone said pasadena has been getting monsooned on for a couple weeks.
tcu plays faster and depends on quickness, whereas wisky don't.
i think we'll be fine though it would be smart to bring the other shoes just in case!

Re: TCU Slipping
The Fiesta Bowl might be an indicator of whether slipping will be an issue or not.

Re: TCU Slipping
I was thinking the same thing at the start of the game. Did not notice it so much at the end.
I sure liked what I saw how TCU's offense read off of WI all american lineman Watts and ran at him and around him!!!
little speedy guys did well against the big powerful Badgers

Re: TCU Slipping
I didn't notice them slipping in the second half. It was overblown by the announcers.

Re: TCU Slipping
For the Fiesta Bowl, they mentioned having to change the cleats also, that the field was a little slippery.
Hope Chip hears this and brings extra cleats.

Re: TCU Slipping
I didn't think that Oklahoma got any of the new cleats that Nike introduced at the uniform unveiling in Dallas. I think that it will be a judgment thing for the players once they get on the field if they wear the new Nike Talon cleats, both the mid and low versions. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the player revert to what they've worn most of the season.spinseeker wrote:For the Fiesta Bowl, they mentioned having to change the cleats also, that the field was a little slippery.
