Football equipment coordinator Tino Dominguez affixes Velcro to linebacker Jordan Campbell's shoulder pads. The Velcro is used so that a player's jersey will stick to his pads, preventing opponents from holding him or tackling him by pulling on his jersey.
Student equipment manager Brian Wagner fits David Ausberry's game-day jersey over his pads this afternoon in the equipment room. Because of the Velcro on player's pads, putting the tight-fitting jersey over the gear takes several meticulous minutes, so the student equipment managers perform the duty for the players every Friday before a game.
