I mean, it's supposed to be in the mid 20s in Knoxville at game time Saturday.

Not exactly a huge difference there

14 is cold, but it's not exactly ice planet Hoth territory

That type of cold, especially with some wind, is debilitating.
What makes OSU's offense go - passing or running ?

Shame because the temps are mild all week 'til Saturday.
I HATE cold weather.

It will be worse for the players I would think.
Whenever I have gone to cold weather games, getting into the stadium was when I was cold. Once you're at your seats or the concourses and packed in like sardines, the cumulative effect made it not that bad.

Think I would rather be in the lower part of the bowl though. Those sitting in the last few rows from the top of the stadium will probably not be very happy.

Suckeyes seem to be a passing team with a porous Oline. Them having to run the ball is to our advantage.

Most Tennessee fans know how to dress for cold weather as many are outdoorsmen anyways. The players move around they will be fine and the folks in the stands will to if they dress correctly. The thread start is misleading game time temp is expected to be around 24 with a low of 14 which will probably be well after midnight. Also only expecting light winds. GBO

Cold is mind over the elements. Extreme heat OTOH is a much bigger threat. If this team lets the weather get in their heads like some of the fans have apparently done, we're in for a long, long day Saturday. Hopefully, we're tougher than that. My fear is we trot out on to the field wrapped head to toe in winter gear like our baseball team did a couple of seasons ago and we get waxed.

For those going, layers. Get a good moisture-wicking base, like a long-sleeve tee by Under Armour or similar. Follow that with a henley, then a flannel button-down, then a Tennessee hoodie, and finally either a heavy coat (ski coat, carharrt) or maybe even better, a light down coat with a shell (raincoat) over top. For bottoms. Get yourself some good leggings and wear em under jeans. You can even wear jeans over sweats, or get pants that are lined. Polypropylene liner socks underneath thick wool. Wear boots. Get some wool gloves and layer insulated leather or waterproof synthetic over top. Toboggan. Supplement with hand warmers.

You do all that and you’ll likely get too warm at some point, so manage your layers accordingly: sweat is the enemy.

Edit: as far as the game, bring on the cold. It’s an advantage for us.

A great tip I got from a Wisconsin fan. Make 2 small signs out of cardboard from like an Amazon delivery box. Security will let you bring them into the stadium. Then stand on one and sit on the other. The thick cardboard provides an extra level of insulation between you and the stadium.

The wind chill is what will suck. Wear layers, folks. Linen socks under wool socks works a bunch.

I’m hoping that Heupel and Banks know how to manage the cold given their prior stops.

I agree and cold is one thing, but as long as it ain’t snowing, we’ll be fine.

I believe there should be no hosts for playoff games.
And all games should be played in domed stadiums or California, Arizona or Florida if they aren’t domed.
Playing games in 14 degrees is ridiculous especially for the fans.

Despite our Coach saying we would play anybody, anywhere, any time, I think we ought to tell the committee that we are not going to play in their 14F degree game. They screwed us to get the game played in Columbus, and now our players and fans will be at risk because of them screwing us. If they cannot do their jobs any better than that and treat our players and fans better than that then they can take their championship trophy and shove it.
