Twitter reacts to LSU’s full-face helmet shields

Many were concerned about players having trouble breathing or seeing if the shield fogged up during a game.

The 2020 college football season is going to look a lot different than what we’ve seen in the past, and that’s to be expected given the circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic.

As a part of the changes, LSU has introduced new “splash shields” to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and the move isn’t exactly one that’s been well-received.

Many were concerned about players having trouble breathing or seeing if the shield fogged up during a game.

It seems the players share some similar sentiments, with offensive lineman Austin Deculus saying it was like “breathing in a Ziploc bag” and linebacker Soni Fonua also expressing concern about breathing in the helmet.

It will be interesting to see how effective the design proves to be in a real in-game situation later this season.

LSU is set to begin the season against the Ole Miss Rebels on Sept. 16 in Tiger Stadium.
