I never knew that and I wonder if it make a difference ? punch it in 01-09-2023, 10:40 PM I’m sure most of you know this … but a college football is smaller than a Nfl football .. I never knew that and that has to make a difference.. Had no idea. I googled it to find out how much smaller and found this… As for the football used: In overall circumference, college footballs can be up to 1-1/4 inches smaller than NFL footballs. To get more detailed, the circumference of a college football ranges from 20-3/4 inches to 21-1/4 inches lengthwise from end to end, vs. the 21 inches to 21-1/4 inches in the NFL. So the balls actually vary in size in college and the pros? Thats crazy. rocnrik 01-09-2023, 10:47 PM If figured it has to make some difference especially if a QB has smaller hands … I never knew skinsfaninok 01-09-2023, 11:52 PM Yes a college and HS ball are the same size Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk SFREDSKIN 01-10-2023, 01:46 AM Howell’s whole game plays: https://youtu.be/lypZIr7tuY0 GridIron26 01-10-2023, 09:44 AM Howell's accuracy was really great in the game, I see only three throws that were off target.

I am guessing changes in temp and atmospheric pressure are main reasons but I do think there is some team preference on the internal PSI if I recall from deflate gate. It is kind of funny for a league that is so anal about things that this isn't a big deal. They will literally stop the momentum of the game and disrupt crowd involvement for 15 minutes to decide to put or take of 1 second or if a receivers toes were a quarter of an inch one way or the other but the ball circumference, which can actually have a difference there is wiggle room.

Crazy skinsfaninok 01-10-2023, 11:59 AM The NFL ball is skinny if that makes sense, In fact I find it easier than the GST College footballs. Brand matters too sdskinsfan2001 01-10-2023, 12:17 PM The NFL ball is skinny if that makes sense, In fact I find it easier than the GST College footballs. Brand matters too As a retired QB, and by retired I mean not good enough to ever sniff pro-ball lol, I can attest that the NCAAF and NFL footballs are completely different. I preferred the college football myself. But I threw that one way more. I just had a NFL ball as a personal football, never had to use it in a game.
