The mercury has dipped below 50 degrees and the win is blowing left to right. Throw in the rain-soaked field and you've got some interesting playing conditions for tonights West Virginia-UConn game at Rentschler Field.

Where I think the wind will play its biggest factor is with the UConn kicking game. Don't be surprised if coach Randy Edsall takes a chance on a long field goal if his team has the wind to its back. When they are going into the wind, look for a far more conservative approach. Don't be surprised if UConn chooses to go for it on fourth and five or less inside of the WVU 30 or if they punt to try and pin the Mountaineers deep in their own territory.
