Field conditions at Beaver Stadium may be a major factor.

Accordingly, the weather will to be a major issue tomorrow and its impact should have a significant effect on the outcome of the game. The playing field will be soggy from the start and could be a mudpit by day's end, and the beaten track mixed with the high, thick bluegrass of Beaver Stadium will undoubtedly reduce the Tide's overall speed advantage. Footing will be be a major concern, and ball security will be an added concern with a wet football, especially in a week after Alabama threw four interceptions to go along with four fumbles underneath the Tuscaloosa sunshine. Furthermore, the cooler Pennsylvania temperatures likely won't allow Nick Saban and company to pound the Nittany Lions into S&C oblivion like the Tide did a year ago.

If indeed they get another inch of rain today and another during the game, look out.  Our team speed is being compromised.

I said the same thing earlier this week, and deserve some ecred.   

Hopefully, and likely, Saban and Company have been watching the weather and are well prepared for this situation.

The team has been practicing with crowd noise and a wet ball this week. That will help but it is hard to practice for poor footing. Hopefully Penn State has a good drainage system. BATR needs a warning label put on his jersey "Slippery When Wet".

Yep, I remember that.

Same thing I thought of. PMull worked that in nicely with the jersey comment (Bon Jovi is from Jersey).

Yeah, true.  I said it would be a hurricane (when Lee was off the LA coast). Click here for link


I believe Saban knows.

Well if weather is bad no problem I guess. TR stands for Train Running and trains wheels don't slip. RTR!
