If it Never Rains in Autzen Stadium . . .

. . . what is the moisture that is predicted for Saturday to be called? Accuweather says it will start raining in Eugene tomorrow, continue at 75% possibility on Friday and 70% on Saturday and Sunday. If the prediction occurs, how will it impact play on the field? Will the Ducks fine record on ball security go south? How about running backs and receivers footing?

OBD have been spending more time on the Autzen turf because of reconstruction of the practice fields, so just maybe the wetness will provide an advantage for those wearing green, yellow, or a combination of the two, or who knows what colors.

    Yes, a 70% chance all day, but about 40% during game time....so maybe we get lucky? I'd like it to be easy for the teams and the fans there...

    You make a good point about receivers making their breaks, and defensive backs being able to turn quickly. I see more problems in pass coverage, as one slip can make an explosion play. Both QBs are used to practicing in the rain over the last year, so I doubt we see passing declining.

    A big game we gotta win!

    It's been sunny and dry in Bloomington all week. They'll probably get a teste of the weather during their Friday practice. Oregon will be wearing yellow.

    Funny, it didn't even occur to me how rain might affect the teams! 😄

    I've been concerned about myself, what to wear, hoping that since it is a 40% chance of rain, that the 60% non-chance will prevail!

    And hopefully, also for Don Fernando?

    Will Tosh keep him under the Mendoza Line?
