Jedd Fisch's team needs decent weather to beat the Wolverines.
The weather forecast surrounding Saturday's Michigan-Washington football game calls for partly cloudy skies, temperatures in the mid-60 degrees and an 8 percent chance of rain -- exactly the conditions the Huskies desire.
This time, the UW needs the weather to behave itself to take advantage of Michigan's well-advertised deep passing limitations, plus to ensure that the Huskies' highly accurate starting quarterback, Will Rogers, can unleash his per game averages of 29 passing attempts, 22 completions and 2 touchdowns to keep the home team in this one.
Game conditions for him in 48 career outings break down like this: 31 played when there were sunny or clear skies, a dozen held when it was cloudy overhead and just five conducted in the rain. His next nasty weather game involved the 2021 Egg Bowl at home in Starkville against state rival Ole Miss. On a 55-degree rainy day, his team lost 31-21, yet he as able to launch 58 passes and complete 38 for 336 yards and a score, despite getting sacked 3 times.
