Does rain hurt or help us vs UF?

Would rain be more helpful or harmful for us against UF?

Agree lol. Long time since rain games were fun in the stands

 

[E1k]

I think the game slowing down helps them so i say hurt

 

[2001canes4L]

Would it help their short passing game? Or would it hurt our ability to go deep with a wet ball?

 

[BOLTY]

Rain would help keep the crowd noise down.

Would be an audition for the B1G once realignment starts up again.

Sloppy, slower game with more variance helps the team with less talent and worse explosive play potential.

Don't want rain. I want it clear, 95 degrees, and 100% humidity.

We're the deeper, more talented and explosive team with the better/more dynamic QB. Give me all the sunshine and heat possible.

 

[Calinative]

We don't want to play in the rain. We want this to be a fast paced game.

Some Pro:
- Likely reduces the pressure on the weakest aspect of our secondary - speed.
- Their starting RB is likely out, and our DLine is the strongest unit of our defense, and their Oline is a bit suspect.
- Likely means it won't be as hot.

Some Con:
- Higher likelihood of just plain unlucky turnovers that can cost the game. Cam Wards biggest flaw last year was fumbles. Lets not put that to the test game 1.
- Rain always hurts downfield passing offense, and we have a better passing offense than them.
- Our Run blocking on the OLine is probably the weakest aspect of our offense as things stand, UNTIL they prove otherwise. (we're pretty great throughout the offense so this is more just like saying we're only a B/B+ not an A type thing...)
- Mertz is a dink and dunker that hasn't taken a lot of deep shots. So this can be fine for him, and they'll just rely on their WRs breaking tackles, which in the rain dbs might slip...
- Slows the pace down.

If rain UF. Now I know why they practicing on drain grates!

 

[24/7canes]

Both teams have and will have plenty of practice in the rain. id say only difference is does it rain for 1-2 hours or 5 to 10 min during a certain teams time while on offense. 1 series can mean a lot.

Considering..

Our OL vs their DL (injuries, and tiring out a 450 lb DT..)

Our RBs vs theirs (injury)

Their OL (injuries) vs our DL

Their WRs vs our secondary (evens out the matchup a little)

A rain game wouldn’t be the worst IMO but I’d prefer no rain for less variables like fumbling that could swing the game.

 

[DTP]

Sloppy, slower game with more variance helps the team with less talent and worse explosive play potential.

This.

Any type of variance only helps the less talented team. We’re significantly better than them. Rain, wet footballs, muddy fields, that only hinders us.

More importantly, what is the wet bulb.

Patience.
Just another week or so till we dust off @joeyhh, clean him up, and get him ready for the big '24 season.

IT DON'T MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS.

The MEN of Miami FEAR NOTHING!

They will meet the foe at the fifty in a titanic battle of tuff fyzicality...a test of masculinity.

They will call upon the gods of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire to achieve their GLORIOUS VICTORY!





Ok, this **** is getting weird. I need an intervention or I'm seriously not gonna make it to 31Aug.
