[QUOTE="Limp Lizard, post: 2457076, member: 18"] Looked at the satellite image. The stadium is a horseshoe with the open end to the East (they have a big athletic center on the East end,though). It runs almost exactly E-W. The sun should be virtually straight overhead at kickoff, so most of the game will be played with the sun being to the West. At first I thought that the team heading West would have the disadvantage. But then I thought, it's not that big an effect on the running game and the QB, who will be looking field level. The kick return teams facing West means the receiver will be looking up into the sun, so that may be anywhere from a small factor to a huge factor, depending on if any turnovers are caused by the sun. But when the offense is heading East, on deep throws the receivers will be looking into the sun. OSU is used to that. How our receivers, and our DB's handle facing the sun could be a factor. Am I looking at this correctly? [/QUOTE]
