Hot! Around 90 at kick-off in Iowa City

[ShinerTexas]

Record high temps all week. It is a night game but at 6:30 PM CT then sun will still be up and temps near 90 so expect 80's in 1st half and mid 70's in 2nd half. Sounds like an SEC forecast.

So do we care? Does it favor us or them? Or does it not matter?

Does not matter.

We're deeper than they are, although they are favored in time of possession. While they are favored in time of possession, we also play 12 defensive linemen, instead of 4. Push.

More like 80 and trending down to 75

Accuweather is saying mid 80's at kickoff, and then down to 70's by halftime. About what it might be like playing South Carolina or some place like that. If you want to be in the CFP, you need depth to win these sorts of games. That goes for both us, and the Hawkeyes. Note: We have a bit more depth, although Iowa can run two-deep. They'll need to spell Wadley though, who will be playing on a bad ankle, and they'll need to do it with either their true freshman, or the other kid. Both of those kids are good running backs, but they are not Wadley.

Instead of heaters bring the AC!

The high temperature favors iowa. Their female fans will be scantily clad, which will scare the crap out of Penn State. iowa players are used to it.

Iowa is really dry right now, so humidity wont be bad. Heat won’t be much of an issue

That was my first thought.

BTW, we're now going 8 deep on the DL this year. Keep an eye out for #94, A.J. Epenesa.

You keep an eye on 19, 48, 41, 52, 54, 56, 30, 34, 18, 97 and 99.

I wouldn't want to be wearing black in the black stripe section, but oh well, lol.

Good thing its a night game or it would be an issue. The sun beating down would have been brutal. But as a night game it should have little consequences.

Yep night game. Wear a white tee shirt tailgating, put on the black one for the game. This isn’t rocket surgery.

I don't have that many eyes. Guess I'll just have to watch the scoreboard and hope for the best.

A day game would have been fine. We would have been wearing white. They would have been wearing black.

Nittany Lion here living around Decorah. I have seen a few highlights of AJ. I have not followed really close. How is he doing?

You could just jot down the numbers for reference.

 

[Woodpecker]

Same for both teams. The better team should prevail (Penn State)

He has been doing well. Playing pretty much only in pass rush. 1.5 sacks and a QB hurry in limited snaps.

Bring the air coolers and misters! We didn't bring heaters in 08, so yes, be diligent fellas!
