lmao, i'm confident, not arrogantly so though, i really respect SEC football and i've seen a few highly ranked teams leave Autzen with dreams dashed, it can happen to us also.

Doesn't that mean it would slow us down just as much???? I've never understood how rain slows down one team and not the other

I think it would effect the tempo of the Oregon offense more than anything. I think i read somewhere how they run a lot plays within two minutes. Their offense is like a constant two minute drill almost.

As a whole it's plain as day that they are the faster, quicker team. That will only help us. They rely on their quickness, us not so much. Sure it'll slow us down, but it won't hinder the effectiveness of our attack as much as it will an option style team,

Oregon is coming in with they hype of speed on their Def and Off. ... the Vols are more known over the years as pounding the ball which won't be affected as much ... and the game will be at 7 at night ... so I don't believe the heat will play as much a factor ...

Don't know what the weather has been like in Knoxville but in the hell that is Southeast Alabama it has still been in the low 90's hours after the sun goes down.

Rain in Oregon, that's liquid sunshine. I would say if your slow in the dry, you'll be even slower in the wet.

rain slows down speed players, takes away their ability to plant their foot to cutback. tennessee pounds the rock. the ducks depend on draws, tosses, sweeps, and zone read runs that they look for the cutback lane to hit that homerun. with that being limited it favors ut. trust me i've played ball in the rain many times in highschool, teams like ut that run straight ahead fair much better than speedy cutback teams like the ducks....

the forecast for the game as of now shows a chance of thunderstorms and rain at night ... could that throw a wrench in both teams game plans ... that might slow Oregon down

Saturday night so could this be more of an advantage for us, or for Oregon, or neither?

How much rain do you guys get in TN annually?

We pretty much live in perpetual rain for 8-9 months out of the year. Most of our starters are vets, and much of the 2-deep has lived in Oregon rain for at least the past year.

But rain definitely did not give the Ducks an advantage against almost-equally-rainy Cal in Berkely in 2008.

There were literally huge puddles in parts of the field, with heavy rain coming down, and Masoli had a lousy 'homecoming' to his previous home town.

I read where another duck fan said the annual rain fall in Oregon was only a few inches greater than in Tennessee. Mainly being during the winter months and Oregon having a fairly dry summer?? Is this true?

The annual rainfall in TN averages around 48".
I've heard that rain usually benefits the underdog team, but I would think that the team that can run the ball would have the advantage. I really don't know. Maybe someone else does.

TN gets a lot more inches of rainfall yearly than Oregon. From what I gather, Oregon has more rainy days, but TN has torrential downpours and more inches of total rain annually.

Spurrier said one year before a Georgia game that was gonna be a rainout "that it was a good day to throw the ball". He probably had a heisman caliber QB though. They won like 55-13
