Goodyear survey uncovers college football’s toughest road games

Akron, OH – This college football season, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is celebrating the fans and players that venture from their home stadiums to take on the challenges of road games each week. To gain an inside look at the drive it takes to win on the road, Goodyear and The Player’s Tribune surveyed 68 former Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players to uncover college football’s toughest road environments and fan traditions.

“Winning college football games is always hard, but it takes a special kind of preparation and confidence to overcome obstacles and outperform the opposition on the road,” said Robert Griffin III, ESPN NFL and college football analyst and one of the former players surveyed. “Through partnering with Goodyear on this initiative, I’m excited to give fans an inside look at the road-game challenges their favorite teams and players experience each week.”

In addition to the survey, Goodyear is bringing the debate on college football’s toughest road environments to fans this season via The Goodyear Road Tested Sweepstakes. From now through Nov. 30, fans can share their opinions on the toughest road environment for a chance to win tickets to the College Football Playoff National Championship and a tailgate experience in the most road-ready vehicle out there: the Goodyear EarthRoamer®.

“As a long-time college football sponsor, Goodyear has witnessed many of college football’s biggest matchups and most historic rivalries over the years, and we know that road games are where grit is most tested,” said Meg Lee, vice president of Marketing at Goodyear. “In spotlighting college football’s toughest road environments, we’ll help get fans and players alike ready for the challenges they may face on the road this season.”
