The Sod, Sod Truth at Iowa and Penn State

It was no field of dreams at Iowa, where complaints from players after the Sept. 3 opener against Ball State led to the decision to install new turf at Kinnick Stadium, above. Iowa's next home game is Oct. 1 against Illinois. The Hawkeyes are not alone. Penn State officials decided to put in new turf at Beaver Stadium after chunks of the field were dislodged during the opener against South Florida. Now all the Nittany Lions have to worry about is Minnesota's Laurence Maroney tearing it up on Oct. 1.
