Do you hear that sound? It's beautiful, isn't it. That's the sound of football – real, live Ohio State football – barreling at you with a velocity you didn't know you needed.
The Oregon State Beavers roll into Ohio Stadium today to face the No. 5 Ohio State Buckeyes for a noon kick on ABC and they'll be coming in as heavy underdogs. 39.5-point underdogs, to be precise, against an OSU team that probably wants nothing more than to just line up and hit someone.
Kickoff in the Shoe will bring a high of 81º, thought it may feel warmer with 68% humidity. There's a 10% chance of light showers in the noon hour, with winds at 6 mph out of the southwest.
As the game enters the second half, look for the temperature to rise into the mid-80s with the chance of precipitation ticking up to 12-15%. With any luck, the rain will stay away, however.
If you're tailgating – and you should be – there's a 17% chance of showers between 8 and 9 in the morning. After that, the rain clouds should disperse some with them returning at 5 p.m.
