Forecast is 63 and Sunny. I think this will be extremely important to the offense. Playing in the rain was not the reason we lost but it was not helping anything. Hopefully some good weather and a great home crowd will get us out of this funk.

shhh, don't jinx it.

It's about time.

Have to think this will help a little.

Wind is always bad for a passing game, as is a driving rain.
However, showers actually help your passing game. Glove technology is such that both the QB ans the receiver should not have grip issues, and on a wet field, the receiver knows where he is going, but the defender does not, That is a big advantage to the receiver.

UR coach Danny Rocco explained this in detail a couple of weeks ago on Richmond TV.

I don't care what technology says, I'd take a dry ball over a wet one any day

Yeah, the Charlotte coach has mentioned the trouble they've had with weather the past two weeks. I think both teams will be excited to play under the sunshine.

Or scared of the bright yellow ball that has appeared suddenly in the sky.

Just don't take any air out of the ball.
