holvy83 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Rain typically favors the running game and slows the passing game. If Nebraska is able to stack the box against the run and let the weather take care of the passing game, I doubt Missouri scores 10 points. mizzou has had some great passing days in rain. Rain doesnt bother me as much as wind. Blaine Gabbert can't channel the ghosts of Tigers past. He'll have to do it on his own, and while he might, the "typical" affect rain has on a passing game is poor. Maybe Gabbert throws for 350 in the rain. Maybe the rain clears up and isn't a factor. Who knows. thats true, but lets also remember he did grow up in MO, not arizona or something. chances are he has played in weather like this plenty of times. I know i can easily recall atleast 5 games with weather very similar that i played in Fro, powder puff games don't count... know what you mean though, this time of year it is bound to happen, as long as they keep the ball dry as much as possible both QB's should not have too big a problem, but i do agree if it ends up being ground games Mizzou might be in trouble... but who knows...

No arguement that if 'all flights are cancelled' Nu carries the advantage. And i am hurt by the power puff comment... Quote Link to comment

Rain doesnt bother me as much as wind. Gabbert has over thrown the ball to the receivers quite a bit this season. Maybe if he is throwing into hurricane force winds the ball will fall right into their hands! Quote Link to comment

billdozer15 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 So what are the scenerios if the game has to be halted due to lightening? Do they push the game till Saturday? At what point in a game is it considered a full game? Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I HIGHLY doubt that conditions will be so bad that the game can't be played. Unless there is a danger of lightning, but in those cases the officials usually just delay play until the lightning has subsided.Here is the rule for suspended play as outlined by NCAA guidelines. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall: 1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas. 2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game’s management. 3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory. c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, conference policy shall determine whether the game will be resumed at a later date, terminated or forfeited (and the final score). If no conference policy is applicable to both teams, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, shall determine whether the game will be resumed at a later date, terminated or forfeited (and the final score if the game is terminated) (Rule 8-1-2). d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.) e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility. f. The referee’s discretionary timeout also applies to the following situations: 1. When there is undue delay by officials in placing the ball for the next snap (A.R. 3-3-3-I). 2. When there is a consultation with team captains. 3. When conditions warrant temporary suspension. What the Big 12 rule is? I don't know, and this is as much research as I'm going to put into it right now. But historically, refs are very unlikely to stop or suspend a game unless absolutely necessary. Quote Link to comment
