How to beat the spread offense- weather

I think it's tougher for sure but also I think it's because the players aren't used to playing in this weather. It'
WMU/Toledo game was in this kind of crappy weather earlier in the afternoon. BG plays in cold weather and they do fine. So to me it's a combination of things that are making them not perform as well.
WVU for one, lol. I think it's tougher for any offense in this kind of cold rainy windy weather. Plus none of these players are likely used to playing in this kind of weather. Baylor also has a first time starter out there too. It would also be tough for any offense not just the spread to play in this weather.

a run first spread like WVU should still work in bad weather conditions. It's the finesse throwing that has issues in bad weather. I good run game is needed for those bad weather games with multiple runners.
Those teams are not used to playing in that weather- like Aurburn we they travel north to play WVU, and could not function in the cold, like USf, and Houston when thay are playing in freezing temperatures. Once they get cold they are too worried about the cold to execute properly, snaps become off target, hands can not grip the ball, fumbles drops, routes get sloppy.
Don't often say this but cali is absolutely right . I watched about a quarter and a half of this horrible football and couldnt believe the ineptitude from teams that normally are so explosive.
It did look like a miserable weather night. Seems like a lot of crappy weather for games recently. Guess its that time of year.
No offenses work in bad weather. Instead of scoring 50 points a game they scored 14 against ranked rival opponents in a monsoon. We would have been lucky to score an offensive touchdown in a weather game against a ranked opponent.
