September heat is on tap.
What makes the fall special -- falling leaves, cool breezes -- often coincides with many things we like about college football.
Well, you'll have to wait for the fall weather. We often see very hot games when the season kicks off early, like in 1996 when BYU hosted Texas A&M on August 24. It will be that kind of day in Lincoln this Saturday as well, with temperatures heading into the mid-90s. Humidity will also be decently high.
How will this effect the game? First, both teams will want to make sure they are hydrated.
