State College, PA. Kickoff at 3PM CST/4PM EST.

This has the potential to be a bad weather game. A lot will hinge on the timing of a strong cold front that is due to move through Central PA on Saturday. Very rainy ahead of that front. Cold and windy behind the front.

Two timing options in regards to the rain ... 1. Saturday morning/early-afternoon rain. Mostly or all done before kickoff. 2. Rain moves in right around kickoff and continues for most of the game.

It is likely to be windy regardless of the timing of the front. Would just be a matter of when the wind switches from south to north.

If the front holds until closer to kickoff, could sneak in 45-50 degrees (but with rain). If the front moves in early in the day, temperatures may not make it to 40 -- with a strong, cold, north wind.

It won't be a nice day regardless. Just a matter of determining if it will be a cold, windy day/evening -- or a not as cold but rainy day.

Looks like it will be a game that favors the team that is capable of running the ball.

Look for an update later in the week.

Bring on the bad weather! Unfortunately, it might be the only chance to keep the game respectable.

If we could run the ball and win a game in the trenches, I'd agree.

Penn State may just hand the ball off the Barkley 40 times, and I'd guess it will be a bit of a challenge for our defense to stop him (wink, wink).

Snow would be much preferable to cold, wind-driven rain.

But I think most or all of the precipitation is ahead of the cold front, when it will be well above-freezing and rain.

I gotcha, but snow games sure are fun to watch. In this case, it'd probably help NU. Give me the cold rain then. May as well.

I'll second that. I hated, absolutely HATED playing in a cold rain. Snow and really cold temps didn't bother me much. Something about getting soaked to the bone with a cold rain slowed my already slow twitch muscle fibers. Major suckage.
 
Very rainy ...... :eek:

First thought, natural grass.

Could be shorten game ala Frost's crew vs Cincinnati game.

Just dont make a bet with with the rowdy guys by you. We were giving each other crap before the game..light hearted and fun. Made a bet I would go buy a Row the Boat shirt and wear it on next Saturday if we lost. Then they started the game and kicked off:O O:
