What matters are fall temps and, once more despite the provincial narrative and anecdotal claims, Columbus, Ohio isn't markedly different from Blacksburg in Sept, Oct and Nov.: Blackburg Sept Hi 75 Lo 55 Oct Hi 66 Lo 44 Nov Hi 55 Lo 35 Columbus Sept Hi 76 Lo 57 Oct Hi 65 Lo 46 Nov Hi 52 Lo 37 More to the point, IMO the weather for VT's schedule isn't significantly different enough to to change schemes from what PSU ran. For home games, which you build your scheme around, the temps will be 4-5 degrees warmer than at PSU during the season. Colder? Yes. Enough to change what you do? Not really. PSU probably plays just 1 or 2 games in appreciably colder weather than what Blacksburg experiences at that same time of the year. ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 1/26/2026, 6:09:02 PM
