ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -There were huge divots, clumps of dirt and little traction on the Florida Citrus Bowl field.
Conditions were so bad for the Miami-Wisconsin game Tuesday night players were replacing sod before snaps. Hurricanes running back Graig Cooper injured his right knee without being touched.
After hosting high school state championship games and the Champs Sports Bowl, the field might be even sloppier for the Capital One Bowl between No. 11 Penn State and 13th-ranked LSU on Friday unless there are some major changes.
Orlando Venues Department Director Allen Johnson says unusually cool weather caused the grass to not grow properly. He says workers are touching up the turf but it can’t be replaced with such a quick turnaround.
