Is the turf safe?

[scubastevefl]

Folston seemed to be injured falling and Drew Tranquil hurt jumping than landing on the turf, any thought?

Has nothing to do with the turf. Folston's knee was hurt while he was planting for a cut. Tranquil's knee buckled when he landed awkwardly.

the thought crossed my mind after Drew fell to the ground...but im pretty sure it had nothing to do with the turf. studies ive seen show it to be safer than grass actually. but damn that was a hard thing to watch

It almost seemed like Tranquill was limping a bit after the play and then he jumped up and fell in a heap.

if the turf is bad then both teams would have injuries and you would hear complaints from the other side.

Yes.
Injuries happen on both surfaces.

The tranquill injury was just dumb luck. Never understood the jumping up and smashing into your teammates back. Bet we don't see any other nd players doing that crap this year.

not dumb luck, just dumb. never understood todays players celebrating in that manner. our kids are forbidden to do it for just that reason. nothing good comes from it. was it a freak injury ? for sure but why risk it ?
