    With Fournette running behind possibly the best O Line in college football it shouldn't make any difference. Get a good pass rush on the WKU QB and it won't matter what the WR's do.

    Negative. Harder to throw a wet ball than hand it off.

    Conclusion: Wet field favors ground game.

    That has been the traditional line about wet games. Since passing has become so "sexy," though, the announcers now throw out that line about the WRs having the advantage.

    I think WRs and DBs slip down more in wet conditions, as quick cuts are tougher to make.

    Winner goes to a tough pounding ground game.

    oh it matters. you dont get blocking or a pass rush if we arent adept in the mud.


    inconclusive.

    I can throw a wet football better than a dry one. If I can do it Harris should be able to too

    Won't be any mud on the well manicured and landscaped field at Tiger Stadium

    If she's home alone, grabs her wine and turns down the lights, watch out!
