First: I bet wrong... 😖 Everyone else's weather forecast appears to have been more accurate than the midweek National Weather Service Forecast (I should know better than to trust a bunch a Penn State grads [probably a couple of p u grads roaming around there too]...)...
It appears that all of the computer models have finally overlapped to reach one conclusion (from the NWS): varying amounts of rain most of the game with winds from the ENE ranging from 9-13 mph, gusting to 22mph, with a 90% chance of rain likely (Hypothermia Weather for the unprepared).
Looks like it's never going to be warmer than 67 degrees actual, which means if you allow yourself to get wet and stay wet with that semi-consistent wind speed you can become chilled rather rapidly (How's that for a Game Day change of pace?!?)... Take a light hat and gloves (and have them in your pocket for yourself) for those who get cold easily and wear your wind and rain gear...
Those who treat this like a normal (sunny/dry) cool afternoon will end up becoming miserable if they allow themselves to get wet and remain wet. With the combination of wind, clouds, and humidity it'll never "feel" warmer than about 64 degrees... People have actually become hypothermic (in the mountains) in these types of conditions when they've allowed themselves to get wet and stay wet and remained exposed to those types of wind conditions...

Now the Good News: With just a little dose of common sense (don't be a tough guy and walk around in a cotton T shirt and jeans in the rain and then let the wind chill you in the stands) and some semi-decent rain gear this is perfect Big Ten Football Weather...
