Our team being from Texas, the Austin Copperheads would be very familiar with a desert environment. The sand would change a lot of things: Firstly, fumbles and punts would not roll. You have to be precise with your punts and not worry about the spin. We can manage that. Snaps would be a whole different game. Under center would be difficult as you would get sand in your quarterback's face, but shotgun, you would have to heave it to get it to your quarterback. The worst part though would be running. Your calves have to put in that much more effort to move you on a sandy surface. I know this from having played beach soccer. Luckily, the Austin Copperheads have calves like you have never seen before. We never skip leg day. This would put us at a tremendous advantage on this sort of unfamiliar playing surface, and would give us the boost we need to get to the Ultimus once more.
