Football:
What was the deal with all the uniform violations Saturday?
2. Knee pads. Speaking of the officials, they were sticklers on knee pads. Multiple players on each side had to be sent off the field for uniform violations.
This is something that teams knew would be emphasized before the season with the NCAA’s new uniform rules requiring players have their midriffs and knees covered.
Patterson had more issues with his players than the officials for enforcing this rule.
“That’s the rules. It’s not like we haven’t been talking to them about it,” Patterson said.
