Shorts in late September? Sign us up. Today's weather forecast for the UNLV game will be more SEC than Big Ten as temperatures will be high and rise higher throughout the game.
Expect a high of 84º for kickoff when the Buckeyes meet the Runnin' Rebels at Ohio Stadium. Pack the sunscreen as no clouds are forecast and the temp will hit 88º at halftime and near 90º for the final whistle.
There's virtually no chance of precipitation and winds at kickoff will be at just 4 mph, rising to maybe 7 mph in the fourth quarter.
