I don't think the heating coils will make the surface any faster. If there's snow it could have the opposite effect. The cold will affect the ball, so passing and kicking are going to be more difficult, players will lose speed and strength with less blood pumping to their arms and legs. Last night was probably the coldest temps many of the Ohio St players have ever played in. It didn't seem to affect them all that much, but the forecast in Minneapolis could be 20 degrees at game time, which is 20 degrees less than the temp at game time last night. Ohio St probably won't score more than 40 points but we could possible note score 20. I have no idea what the outcome will be, but Ohio St is not invincible this year. They had trouble against Penn St and lost to a not so good VT team at home. They plastered MSU though. Maybe some combination of the weather, overlooking us and the gophs being well-rested and confident will swing the game our way. Last time Ohio St played a game in November in Minneapolis outdoors it ended up a 35-31 loss for the Buckeyes.
