80% Chance of rain

I don't think the rain hurts us. Not sure it helps us either though. People assume rain means a slower-paced, run-based game. The advanced analytics say otherwise.

Wind is what leads to unders. Rain actually tends to lead to overs. The offense is at an advantage, because the player with the ball knows where and when he is going to cut, and the defender that has to react is more likely to slip. It leads to big plays.

It could neutralize speed (Etienne), which I think plays in our advantage. I always say Cam is a one-cut-and-go type guy, and rain would seemingly play perfectly to that style. Plus Cam always breaks the first tackle. Trevor can run it too, but King and Cam aren't that far behind Trevor and Etienne, IMO.

Before the season, I said we would be about a 4 TD dog (at that time, we would have). Last week, I predicted the line would be 10.5. UVA showed Clemson has some chinks in the armor. I consider myself a realist, which is usually considered optimistic on this board. And I really think we can win this game.
 
Rain usually helps the offense in general. Hurts the passing game, but the offense knows where it's going - doesn't have to change direction unexpectedly.
 
there won't be any rain from Delta.This is a VERY SMALL storm that's not supposed to clear out of my neighborhood in LA until Saturday morning.No way that it covers 800+ miles by 7:30 PM -10;30 PM that same night moving at 15 MPH.

If theres gonna be rain it won't be from DELTA..I'm just hoping it doesn't fck too much **** up around here that i can't watch the game..

I agree. It is not the good ole days when we were running track out there while the other team practiced close order drill. Rain makes everyone slow. I am not sure but I doubt we have speed edge on Clemson.
