If you couldn't catch a RB on a dry field you weren't going to catch him on a muddy one. It's easier for a man who weighs less to change directions than a larger man because the force of inertia is greater with more mass. So it's harder to make quick turns for a semi truck, easier for a civic.
The only way I ever had an advantage on a muddy field was putting in the longest cleats that was in the equipment box.
Howie Long got caught in a winter game on a frozen field wearing baseball spikes. A for effort, A for being a douchebag.
