Homecoming victory over Yale. The new ! eld features a large block WALK, DON’T RUN: The Cornell defense built a reputation for being “C” at mid! eld, bright green synthetic grass and the even brighter red stingy against the run until last season, when it struggled against teams end zones with white lettering. The end zone on the South end reads that wanted to keep the ball on the ground. The Big Red showed where “Cornell”, while the North end zone spells out “Big Red.” FieldTurf is its focus would be in its ! rst four contests this season. Against Bucknell, a blend of polyethylene and polypropylene, silica sand and rubber the Big Red limited the Bison to 46 yards on 31 carries, the fewest yards by granules that give years of grass-like appearance and use, without the a Bison team since the 2000 season, which predates the start of the pro- regular maintenance of natural grass. The installation process includes gram running the spread option. Cornell then held Yale and All-America a layer of decomposed granite, the company’s patented polyethylene running back Mike McLeod to a total of 0 yards on 28 carries as a team. and polypropylene blades and a rubber granule in! ll system. It is Lehigh and senior running back Matt McGowan were able to muster on resistant to temperature extremes, drains quickly and is extremely 65 yards on 22 carries.
