re: Boone, NC's high temp today is 67 degrees

Sorry but you are wrong. I've been to the games you referenced. First, you are comparing Orlando weather in JANUARY to Baton Rouge weather in AUGUST. Second, it was wet and fairly cool the night of the Oregon State game. It was definitely not hot and humid. I know because I was front and center sitting in the rain for the entire game.

Baton Rouge, in August, in the afternoon in 90 plus degree (high humidity) is one of the worst environments you will ever experience. There is a reason why our team has been practicing outside in that same heat and humidity each day. My guess is that App State will be cramping like crazy Saturday.

This will only be one of many factors leading to LSU winning this running away. It is, however, a factor.
