28 degrees expected at kickoff. Downright balmy.

Some nice, crisp football weather.

The AccuWeather forecast seems to be for the low temperature during the game (at the end). I have seen several forecasts that say kickoff will be around 26 F and 22 F by midnight.

Actually says 28 at kickoff. That 22 is the expected overnight low. If correct it’ll be a little warmer than last nights game.

 

[BruiserVol]

It’s gonna be 26 in East Tennessee at kickoff. Would’ve been cold whether we hosted or not.

Thanks. I fixed the OP.

Perfect football weather. I played in the Tennessee state championship game back in 1980 early December colder than this game tonight . Against oak ridge. I went school at jcm. Jackson central merry. Al Wilson s. school.

The Big Orange Sun will be shining over the Horseshoe tonight!! Go Vols!! Ever see a Buckeye sweat??

With steady winds the wind chill will be below 20. Mostly just want to protect your hands and ears since you won't be moving around. Players will feel it but it won't affect them much so long as they stay warmed up.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Coach has taken temp off the table.

Looks like a whopping 5 degree difference start to finish from Neyland. Move on.

Maybe we provide the team a habanero laced Red Bull as they put on those Citrus Bowl leftover replacement cleats pregame. Would love for the team captains to go to midfield for the toss with 2” cleats just for grins.

Whatever affect it has will be on both teams. The idea that somehow Will Howard can throw the ball better in the cold than Nico can and the Ohio State receivers can catch the ball better than the Vols can is weird.

Revised on their CBS station in Columbus - 26 at kickoff......22 at the end of the game

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

It'll be slightly warmer than that on the field too. Stadium knocks wind down as well. Pretty decent conditions to be honest.

 

[TNBV]

22 is a hell of a lot better than 40 and wet.

22 is a hell of a lot better than 40 and wet.

Nothing worse than wet and cold especially with wind. Dry heat and dry cold much more tolerable.

Desmond just said the cold will affect the Vols, the better running team in this game. As if Knoxville is South Florida this time of year.

I wouldn't put too much faith in what Howard says ---- he's an idiot

Not “that cold “

 

[TENNESSEESLIM]

It’s going to feel like 90 when we go up 2 scores.

 

[TAF]

If the boys are “affected” by 28 degrees…then we’ve been lied to ALL along like the White House Press Secretary…

 

[DaddyChad]

28? Feels like 98.

Would credit the original poster on that one but I can’t remember who had it.

Fixed

Looking pretty Orange right out front

It amazes me that these tv clowns act as if it doesn’t get cold in Tennessee. With all the BS they’ve been spewing you’d think Knoxville is in the Bahamas
