There is no doubt that tonight will be a great night for football weatherwise, just not in Oregon. The weather is expected to play a pretty big factor in tonight’s contest between Oregon and Cal at Autzen Stadium. Earlier this morning the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Watch/Warning for the area this afternoon/evening. If you are heading to the game, make sure you bring the right attire and your rain slicker. Autzen Stadium is expecting a ‘Heavy Mist’

Throughout the week we  have been looking at the contest from several different angles including the passing attack, the rushing attack – mainly from Oregon, as well as the matchup of first year coaches in Cal Bears Head Coach Sonny Dykes and Oregon’s Mark Helfrich.
