UCF Football: West Virginia Game Week Press Conference
Sat 23 | Day
45°60%
W16 mph
Light rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High near 45F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Monday night, Checking Hard Rock App, UCF is a -3 point fav. Over/under is at 64.
That's a lot of points Methinks. Going 5 bucks on the under, but not betting on winner. Probably WVU gonna win. 45F degrees?!? Shrinkage....

Watch Gus ban heaters in sideline and then wonder why no one wants to play.

In theory, I think the weather could play to our advantage. If anything, a cold/rainy/gusty forecast creates a net neutral advantage.
Running the ball downhill in those conditions will be ideal for us. Running the ball is WVU’s strength on offense as well, but I do think UCF is much improved stopping the run compared to how we fared against them (or pretty much anyone) last season.
But for me, our biggest struggle (by far) this season has been stopping the pass. I think the conditions could potentially help us there.
Sometimes the whole “FL kids don’t like to play in the cold” idea is a bit overplayed.

Oh okay lol. I thought RJ Harvey and Kobe Hudson were guaranteed to leave last year. And yet you still post here.
It’s cold, who cares it’s football. Baseball is miserable in the cold. So is golf when it’s cold/windy.
Football players are fine in cold weather. Even ones from Florida.
"It’s cold this weekend in Florida too. Around 50. Would be similar temps by and large."
You don’t know weather.

Here's hoping that the weather is a little less wet than forecasted for this weekend's game. I am taking the fam to see UCF play and would love to watch the game where the only anger is towards Gus and not me for planning a West Virginia, away game visit, in late November....😁
Low of 45 on Saturday. They use the same thermometers in Orlando and Morgantown. 45 is 45."It’s cold this weekend in Florida too. Around 50. Would be similar temps by and large."

Its 45 degrees with a 15+ mph wind. It will feel 30s, if it rains then its pretty much worst weather scenario. 30s/40s rain is worse than 10 degrees and snow. Heaters aren't going to dry the uniform and pads on the sidelines, players will stay cold.
If you don't believe in Heat Index or Wind chill, then yes temperatures are exactly the same.
Saturday Weather:
ORLANDO: High of 65 low 45 and sunny.
MORGANTOWN: High 46 and low 37 and rainy.
There will be an almost 20 degree difference at kickoff. Add wet and lack of sun..
Anyone arguing that those two are similar just likes to argue for no reason. Those two things are not the same. Not even close.
How does UCF plan to slow down West Virginia’s ground game? | Analysis

One of those who missed the game was starting cornerback BJ Adams, who missed back-to-back games against Arizona and Arizona State.
“We’re hopeful. He practiced last night, which is a big thing,” Malzahn said of Adams’ status.
Adams is tied for the team lead with 2 interceptions. He also has 14 tackles and 2 passes defended.
“I’m so happy that he’s back,” said Barr. “He’s wanted to get back for the past couple of weeks. He’s been staying up and encouraging the rest of the guys throughout the time he’s been unable to play. It will be good to have him back out there.”

GameDay, odds -3 for UCF, over/under went down to 61.5 points. I think even that is free money bet for the under.
Looking at UCF fans social media feeds that are in Morgantown for the game....SNOWING....

I currently have all my windows and screened doors open to let in the cool air for the day. Free Air Conditioning!!!
It’s not snowing today though?
46 degrees, feels like 43 at kickoff? Cold enough for sure, but not as bad as everyone has been making it seem all week.
Understood on the weather. Just can’t think of any games where we played in snow or got close enough to it happening.
Can’t remember which game specifically, but our short stint in the MAC back in the early 2000’s may have included a snow game.
That game sucked yesterday but I won ten bucks on it. I bet the under and twice for WVU to win during the game early in the first when it was obvious going to be a comedy-of-errors.
UConn. GOL banned heaters because only weak people need them. We got destroyed.
SMU game in dallas awhile back was the ice bowl. Forget year.
I told them around 45 and it was 50 in Florida last couple days. Not much different. But the weather experts say it’s a blizzard in temps above 32.
Thanks for the answer! I remember the no heaters debacle, didn’t remember the snow.
