The Ohio State football team hasn't had any issues beating teams this year. They are undefeated and ranked as the number-one team in the country. As the defending national champions, they haven't faced much competition. Their toughest game so far this season has been the opener against Texas.
In every game the Ohio State Buckeyes have played, they have had pristine weather. Even in their last game against Wisconsin, it was 72 degrees and sunny. There haven't been any concerns with wind, rain, or cold temperatures so far this season, no matter where they have played.
This weekend, the Buckeyes welcome Penn State to town. It is Jim Knowles' first game back since leaving, and Ryan Day has made it clear there's some bad blood. Knowles' best chance to slow down Ohio State is bad weather in Columbus. Will he get his wish?
Weather forecast for Ohio State football vs. Penn State
While it will be rainy in the lead-up to Saturday afternoon, Saturday will be a nice day for football. It won't quite be as warm as it's been for the last few weeks, as it will be 48 degrees at kickoff, according to the Weather Channel. It will get up to 52 degrees by the time the game ends.
There is no precipitation in the forecast, so ball security won't be an issue. The wind won't be a massive factor either, as it will blow 4-12 mph in the course of the game. It will gust up to 22 mph at times, so that might affect the kicking game a bit. Still, the conditions are mostly ideal for a football game.
It looks like the run of phenomenal weather for the Buckeyes will continue. They shouldn't have an issue with external forces affecting the outcome of the game. It will come down to how well they are able to execute their offensive game plan against their former defensive coordinator.
