Arkansas State drew penalties at first of each half in its go to to Auburn on Saturday evening for its alternative of uniforms.
The Pink Wolves wore grey tops and black pants in opposition to Auburn, who wore its conventional navy blue tops and white pants. Not only had been the grey jerseys a violation of the NCAA’s rule requiring groups to put on contrasting colors, however the team’s crimson numbers on the gray jerseys was also in violation of a new rule requiring that the numbers on the jerseys are clearly visible. (The crimson numbers did not have any contrasting trim — it was black.)
After the game, Arkansas State coach Bryan Harsin stated it was his choice to put on the Adidas duds.
From AL.com:
That was my determination,”Harsin mentioned.
When asked if he made the decision figuring out it will lead to two penalties, the primary-12 months coach shouldered more of the blame.
“I think that is something for our staff and that was the choice I made and wouldn’t change it,” he said.
Arkansas State was penalized on the kickoff to start each half. Auburn acquired 15 yards within the first quarter when it got the ball and was penalized half the distance to the goal when it acquired the ball to start the second half. Auburn received 30-9.
It’s only a hunch, but the guess right here is that Arkansas State will probably be rocking the white jerseys the remainder of the yr on the road this season when the home crew is carrying workforce colours. 28 yards is a pretty extreme punishment just to put on darkish-coloured jerseys. Although on the flipside, the distinctive infraction brings some notoriety to each Adidas and the varsity.
