When No. 9 Ohio State visits Nebraska Saturday night, the Buckeyes may run into something they've yet to see this season: rain.
Kickoff conditions at Memorial Stadium call for a crisp 62º with a 50% chance of precipitation and 10 mph wind out of the northwest.
Rain is expected in Lincoln Saturday morning, and if things get wet again for the game, it should be contained to the first half, with the chance of precipitation dropping throughout the game, falling to just a 10% chance in the 4th quarter.
The wind, on the other hand, is expected to pick up as the game progresses, with second-half speeds approaching 30 mph. The Buckeyes are heavy favorites in this one, but if it comes down to a kick, watch out.
