Did anyone else watch the F&M - Fords game? Looked like a tight matchup in the first half but F&M seemed to take control of the game going into the win in overtime. 6 straight wins for the diplomats heading into an always-tricky Gettysburg and an upward-trending Dickinson. Could F&M jump Messiah in Wednesday's regional rankings with that win over Fords??

I definitely agree with you on the fact that for the most part, home field advantage really is not as big as a deal as some usually believe. However I would argue when you look at a field like Lyco's which is 65 yards wide, there is definitely a HUGE advantage in being able to practice/play on that field day in and day out since most teams are not accustomed to fields that narrow. It also goes the same way for teams with massive fields, as they are able to spread the game to their liking (at least at first).

Lyco definitely has a huge advantage at home considering their direct, route-1 style of play, as teams who like to posses and spread the game out definitely struggle on their field. Not taking anything away from Lyco, as I think they performed relatively well in the games that I watched (F&M, Scranton, Haverford) but I would argue that they would have had a much better chance of winning vs F&M (who has a massive field) and Haverford if those games were played at home.
