Icy Weather - Good/Bad for Mustangs?

Postby Digetydog » Fri Dec 06, 2013 4:35 pm

In good weather, UCF takes SMU to town 9 out of 10 times.

In cold wintery weather, could SMU luck into a win?

I imagine that Pope and Reed will be more effective than Burchem tomorrow.

cold weather is a wildcard which is usually better for underdog. However, the formations, offensive philosophy and personnel still all favor UCF especially in cold weather. The Key is TURNOVERS in cold weather. Never know how that will play out

In cold weather the ball gets pretty hard. It will be harder to catch passes if they don't have a good touch on them. Hope the players keep moving on the sidelines so they don't get stiff while waiting to go in.

I played on a pretty good (for colorado) high school team in Colorado. In my experience anytime we would have to play teams in cold/snow weather it evens the playing field. It just turned the game into a [deleted] show. We hated playing teams in bad weather because more often then not teams that shouldn't have been able to keep up with us did, and sometimes beat us.

Uhhh, June's teams have a horrible track record playing in bad weather. George O'Leary is an actual football coach who modifies his game plan based on reality. June's such a space cadet I doubt he's bothered to even check the forecast.

This. I can't think of a bad weather game where we were actually able to compete.
