I’m leaning toward the opinion that the rain favors ND
I feel our O line and our running backs are better than theirs and that SC is notoriously a poor road team. By the four quarter they’ll be soaked and wishing they were back in lala land.

This game should tell us if the ND defense fixed their issues. Putting the weather aside, ND
can’t give the USC QB all day to throw as the USC WR’s are too good. If it’s a downpour, that should be to ND’s advantage. Go Irish!!!
76 today and fairly windy leading up to game time
winds calm down and hopefully the lightning calms down by 7:30…cold is no issue.
Cold and wet favors ND. USC is thin blooded 80s during the day 60s at night

It's not going to be cold, mid 70's during the day and mid 60's by the time the game is over.

I would agree...."bad" weather should favor ND. I say that Riley will have his qb throw short
passes; have their qb get the ball out quickly to their athletes on the perimeter. Long pass plays downfield in such weather conditions will or should be limited.
Bad weather will negate the crowd advantage I believe. Fans will head for cover in downpours.
Empty seats means less crowd noise. Is this a difference maker? IDK. There is still a need to block and tackle on the field.
Have family going tonight. Packing all their rain gear. Just hoping no lightening delays.

That is the worst. 45 minute delay turns into 2 hours, sometimes more.
The 3 delays (twice in one game. USF) some fans left and those were day games. I really do feel bad for the fans who traveled and spent hard earned money for this one game.
They will?
I was in the deluge there in 2008 against UM. I don't remember anyone leaving their seats.
In weather like this, you're getting wet, period. Embrace it.
And I've been to many games in heavy weather where fans headed for cover.
Not everyone is an Irish warrior fighting rain sleet and snow to cheer on the Irish. Didn't say stadium will empty but it will dampen the crowd noise.
