per Megan:
Rossi said snow can affect offenses, which in turn impacts defenses. For example, any kind of precipitation can limit the passing game, making the run the focus. That’s especially challenging considering the Badgers boast Jonathan Taylor, whom Gophers defensive end Winston DeLattiboudere said is arguably the best running back in college football. Snow can also inhibit players from finding solid footing, which can hinder their coverage.
Rossi and Ciarrocca will call the game from the warm press box. But players such as running back Mohamed Ibrahim will brave the elements. In the last snowy game at TCF Bank Stadium, Ibrahim scored three touchdowns in the 34-7 victory against Nebraska on Oct. 12.
“Ball-carriers have the advantage,” Ibrahim said. “When they get cold, the defenses don’t like to tackle.”
