Indiana prepares for its Week 2 college football matchup against Howard with significantly different weather conditions than its season opener. While the Hoosiers faced intense heat during their previous game against North Texas, Saturday’s contest at Memorial Stadium features a forecast of clouds and rain. Meteorologists anticipate a 40-50% chance of rain at the noon kickoff with temperatures near 75 degrees. Conditions are expected to trend toward drier weather as the game progresses, though the field surface will likely remain damp from prior precipitation. This environment contrasts sharply with the extreme heat experienced by fans and players last week. The program last encountered rainy conditions during the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl held last season.
