I think it was real windy the last two games for Oklahoma state. They scored 45? and 66. I don't think it effects them as much as we think it does sometimes.

I was going to start this same thread but you beat me to it. I looked at the hour by hour forecast and the wind will be blowing 19-24 mph according to my weather channel app on my cell phone. I hate to answer a question with a question, but I would like to know how much of an affect wind speed has on the passing game?


If it is substantial, then Toledo may be a worthwhile play. I wasn't interested or planning on touching this game but from what I can determine, Central Michigan is only averaging around 115 rushing yards per game (100th overall) whereas Toledo is around 215 (17th overall). The passing stats are almost identical and both teams have poor defenses. Please don’t get the wrong idea; I am not making a pick. I am just expressing my observations and hopefully someone with more knowledge can answer my question. This is especially true because I have no idea how good or bad the special teams are for each side.

No...ever been to Stillwater? They practice in high winds every day. Not a factor.
