Forecast for kickoff tomorrow is about 91 degrees with 67% humidity and 19 mph winds out of the south.
That sound like mostly good news for Nebraska.
BYU sees temperatures that high all the time, but not that kind of humidity. That kind of heat and humidity can drain you fast, and often causes cramping in players prone to it. Both teams will need to use their depth, especially at positions like WR and DB.
Fairly confident we're deeper at WR and DB than they are, and at most positions.
19 mph winds gusting higher than that starts to really impact the passing game. Anything over 15 mph really forces teams to dial back on the passing game, especially deep passes. If the game becomes a battle of two teams mostly running the ball I like our chances.
