Has anyone ever noticed the off-color of FAU game balls? I was wondering what the deal was with that. Anyone know?
Seems very odd to me. I looked at more pictures and it seems we don't use the same type of ball all the time. And no, this isn't just a ball for the kicking game as you'll see in the pictures I attached courtesy of BMarkey's site.
The only thing I can think of is ASU used their own ball. If that's the case than that's just garbage.

I may be wrong but I think each team uses the home team's ball within games. If you notice in a couple of the pictures, those are different balls in the same game.
I think this is an NCAA rule, actually. If not, we should've brought a nurf Turbo football to UF!
