Finally. Five games into the season and Ohio State will finally play in the crisp autumn air that means football season.
When the Buckeyes meet the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscatawy, New Jersey tonight, expect a slight breeze, no rain and a temperature around 57º.
Those conditions should hold, with the temperature hovering around 55º in the fourth quarter and the wind dropping slightly from the 12 mph expected at kickoff.
Rain? Doesn't look like it's going to be a problem, with a 3 or 4% chance of precipitation for the game.
