I think the heat and humidity of Lake Charles, Louisiana on September 1st for the game being played between Portland State and McNeese State really does play into the Cowboy's favor. Back in 1991, Oregon played poorly against Utah in the heat of Salt Lake City the first game of the year and lost to them.
Jerry Glanville, having coached at nearby Houston, will be initmately familiar with field conditions, but it will be hard to mimic and actually practice in game-like conditions here in the Northwest. I'm sure the coaching staff will look to keep everyone hydrated, use strategic substitution of players, and do everything they can to keep the player spirits and physicality optimized and in the game. /users/31/07/37/smiles/smileywe.gif /users/31/07/37/smiles/smily19.gif /users/31/07/37/smiles/618108.gif
One saving grace is that the game will be under the lights. The Louisiana Department of Fish and Wildlife has a table saying that 6:23 pm is the time for the sunset. The game begins at 7:00 pm CT (5:00 pm PT) with probably the last vestiges of the day's sunlilght.
Heat and humidity may still be a problem, but they also may not be. I lived in the South and while it is true that September 1st is usually as warm or hot as any day in August, there could also be a day of good fortune. The evening temperature may be as high as the 80 degree range, or it could be cooler. If a thunderstorm occurs a few days before the game, the humidity could be attenuated. /users/31/07/37/smiles/537744.gif
It is going to be interesting to see how the Viking coaching staff prepare the team for this game. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. /users/31/07/37/smiles/595146.gif
Go Vikings!
I wouldn't even want to try to pick a final score for this game.
We have seriously changed both the offense and the defense in the offseason. There is no way to predict the way that the PSU squad will look like for the McNeese game without seeing practices in August.

Heat for Oregon at Utah in '91? I was there. That was a night game... for the most part. It's a dry heat, too. The bigger issue was that Danny O'Neil was a freshman and had no line in front of him. Altitude would be a bigger issue.
It's hard to prepare for Louisiana heat unless you've been there. JG will do what he can, but players have to listen.

I'm sorry, but there is no way either team will hold each other to that many points.

/users/31/07/37/smiles/595146.gif I agree
Just to jump off topic for a minute, does anyone know how many of the Vikings stayed on campus and are working out together this summer?
There was an interesting article in our local paper today talking about how 90% of the team stayed and has been working out.

Holding the R&S offense to 3 points.......You would have to move up to the FBS level if you did that.
