For those discounting the wind - IT WAS A HUGE FACTOR

I was on the Miami side 30 rows up 1st level.
The flags on top of the 400 Level were whipping the whole time.
The goal posts were shaking from the wind. Inside the stadium the wind was constantly swirling in all directions.... very difficult for kickers and returners.

Another reason to not want to be in the Big Ten. In SFLA we get wind like that only at the approach of a front or a tropical event.

That’s par for the course in the Midwest in November.

If you watched the NFL games Friday and Saturday like Green Bay vs Chicago it was crazy windy that whole week through out the whole Midwest corridor.

It's called Tornado Alley for a reason. I live in the Midwest and the wind was definitely off the chain this past weekend.

Thank you. Please tell us about the crowd noise. On TV it’s seemed insane. It felt like almost impossible conditions to deal with. Several times you could tell the offensive players didn’t know the play. For example, on the last drive before half, Beck threw to Marion giving towards pylon. Marion had no clue. He came back to the huddle and mouthed something to the effect of “I didn’t know it was coming to me”. What are your thoughts on how the crowd noise affected the offense?

Two times Marion and Carson were totally out of sync. At first I thought Carson made a bad throw but then I realized Marion may have run the wrong route. It was very unlike their usual connection
 
I seem to recall games in Miami when wind was an issue. It does seem to swirl around and change direction more in HRS than it ever did in the open ended OB. I feel like November has been the most likely month for that
