zff Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 It looks like it is going to rain all day friday and saturday in State College. I saw one forecast that said around 2 inches total. Who does this give the advantage too? It should slow down Penn State but will the Zips passing game be hurt by the weather? Remember the Army game last year was in a stead rainy and Luke did not have his best game? Do the zips line up in a 3 TE set offense and run the ball. And do so play action passes to the TE's.........Cruz, Poindexter, and Kasparik colud have a huge game....Or do the Zips stick to their normal offense plan.

Dr Z Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Remember the Army game last year was in a stead rainy and Luke did not have his best game?Crud You are right. This might be the best point about the game yet (on either side). Why did you bring that up?...now I'm all depressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zff Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Sorry DR. Z The only reason I thought of it was because I am still drying out from that game. One point I forgot to mention the Miami game was before the Army game. And we know the team had their heads some place else after the loss in Oxford.

zen Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ever since I saw the forcast track for the tropical storm a few days ago, I have been praying that it will get slowed down or sheered to the east.... but it's really starting to look like it's pretty much going to swamp the game.

a-zip Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 On the bright side, a wet field generally is a disadvantage to the faster team. It may help us!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Last game played during hurricane remnants:9/7 1996 Virginia Tech 21 - 18 AkronI like our chances in the rain. It negates speed.I'll have 2 tents and rain gear, so BRING IT ON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If anything, I would have thought that their overall advantage is more in the size department more than speed. But what you are saying is that I should be hoping for more rain then, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If it rains, I may have to stay in the bar....which takes me back to one of my favorite sayings."No matter how warm or cold it is outside, it's always 72 degrees and dry on a barstool."

Buckzip Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Rain hurts us. We are a passing team, and they have a young secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UADavid Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Rain hurts us. We are a passing team, and they have a young secondary.I disagree unless it's raining sideways. It should help the wideouts because they know where to cut and the db's will be walking on eggshells trying not to fall down. It also negates speed. Our boys have a lot of size now. I don't think we'll be giving up much in that department. They have us in depth, but i like our offensive and defensive lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
