Planning on attending Indiana football’s huge matchup against USC this weekend? Hope you’ve got some handwarmers.
Bloomington has been experiencing some casual jacket weather as of late, with a high of 71°F on Wednesday. That’s set to drop all the way down to 49° on Thursday and 43° on Friday, settling in on 47° on Saturday, gameday at Memorial Stadium.
The low will be 27° on Saturday, according to current projections from The Weather Channel. The temperature for kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET should just
about coincide with the day’s high, so around 46-48°, dropping from there as the game goes on and darkness begins to set in.
There’s going to be a solid amount of wind as well, which will make it feel colder and potentially affect offensive game planning with less emphasis on the pass.
What kinds of conclusions should you draw from this? Well, it’ll be quite the shift for USC, which will fly to Bloomington from Los Angeles, where temperatures are hovering around a high of 70-80° this week. I wouldn’t put entirely too much stock in that as we’ve seen warm weather teams fly to cold weather sites and win before, it happens all the time at the NFL level and in conferences that span latitudes like the ACC and old Pac-12.
It’s football weather, so make sure to bring some chili if you’re planning on tailgating for this one.
