Will cold weather Saturday night bother our offense?

[COOKEVOL]

I am more concerned about the Vandy game being at 7:30 instead of 7 EST. I'm afraid having a game start that close to bed time will have them sleepy and sluggish.

 

[Vol865]

I wonder if they'll just go out and play the game regardless of weather

 

[GAVol]

Hello? 911? I'd like to report a game being played in ideal Fall conditions.

 

[volmanjr]

well..... Hendon did have some cold issues at VT....

 

[Frozevol]

The current weather forecast calls for 37 degrees Sat night.

It won’t be that temp until after midnight. It will probably be about 45. Not cold.

Long sleeves?

Mittens, long johns......................are we playing in Green Bay?

There has been a thread wondering if the weather (usually rain), will slow down our offense each week for the past month now. Has this become a pre-game VN ritual?

Just covering all the bases. Weather has made a difference in a few Tennessee games over the years. I do not believe it will be a deciding factor Saturday. I believe the Maxims are a better measure of success.

Poor Smokey was sure shivering

I was shivering

Forecast in Columbia looks fine for a cock beatdown Saturday night!

 

[theroyz71]

Dude. It was cold and windy and wet.

Not in my living room.

 

[orangemadam]

Will Dawgs or Vols decide not to play in the cold CFP? Hmmmmm.

The weather will be a factor right after fatigue. I’m assuming after 78 points scored for the good guys that our team will be tired and succumb to the cold. They will probably cave in the last few seconds of the game only up 65 points.

I thought it was cold as hell Saturday in Neyland.

 

[sjt18]

LOL... cold weather.

Yep. It will virtually stop the Vols. It will warm up when USCe has the ball though. The weather impacts opponents independently you know.

And who knows what might have happened had it not rained during the Mizzou game... ?

 

[sjt18]

Lord forbid the Vols should have had Missouri this week in CoMo. The high will be 35.

Players seldom feel the cold unless it gets well below freezing. You feel the heat but once you're warm the cold feels pretty good.

Jesus H, I can't take anymore. When do we get "Regular Person Syndrome"? Ever again?

Are you really asking if the team will wear sleeves if it's cold? What on earth are you even talking about?

 

[zaqhhh]

For 45-40 degree weather? That isn't even that bad? 30 and below sure, but low-mid 40s? No

 

[Flipdaddy]

The air will be more dense so the ball may not hang in the air as long Hooker will have to put a little extra on the deep ball to push through the dense molecules

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

I imagine the cold will effect usc as much as UT which is probably very little. GBO!

Not sure I would consider 58 high and 35 low cold.

All that we need are those orange helmets (and pants of course). Go Vols

 

[livefaith]

It was cold and wet last Saturday and we put up a 60 burger on the 13th ranked defense. We’ll be ok

The colder it got Saturday, the more they scored. So I doubt it'll hurt. Does help the pass rush and mitigates a defenses suceptibility to getting winded via hurry up tho.

 

[Kylo]

Unless it's raining or snowing Georgia, the answer is no. Tennessee will hit 60 again.
