Wind is what limits passing game; much more than rain or even snow. Shouldn't be an issue.
Rain helps a passing game. Offense knows where they are going, D does not.
The rain will make the ball heavier and Petras will go from throwing the ball 6' over his receivers' head to just far enough overthrown that they'll be able to snag it. Petras will then lead them to victory and Iowa fans will claim they believed in him the whole time.
Really hope it’s not rainy/wet. It would for sure complicate things and make it more difficult to run a pass heavy offense which then would likely favor Iowa.
Man, that game was the nail in the natural grass field coffin. Kinnick wasn't even playable that day.
Meh, the artificial surface really helps that out. Unless it's coming down in buckets, footing won't be an issue.
Looked on 2 different weather sites. One had like a 30% chance of rain in the afternoon and the other site had no rain to like 8 pm or later.
Not worried about footing. Mostly talking about wetness on ball causing issues with drops/bad throws.
The 2019 forecast was for sunny skies and 85 degrees. Seven hours after kickoff......another gut-punch defeat. But I think weather will not matter too much Saturday. Gotta be prepared for anything. Cliche, sure; but it is reality.
Where are people seeing rain in the forecast for Iowa City? Neither weather.gov nor weather.com have rain during the day.
I’m guessing they are just looking at the day, and not the by the hour.
Dr. Doom on KCCI predicts rain, but not before smoke from forest fires out west will incapacitate anyone with lung issues. All of the Hok fans smoking heaters will be wiped out.
