What does rain and natural turf do for the Huskers' chances?

Both teams gave to play in it.

I think it helps... However a wet ball never helps anyone. The reason I say it helps UNL is because we're running the ball. Never want to like throwing a ball in a wet environment. Hard to hold onto when getting ready to throw it...wet ball is hard to catch and sometimes slips or deflects off the receiver and is either incomplete or an interception opportunity. Just handing the ball off to a running back is much safer! GBR!

Natural grass has always been a benefit to a run team vs a pass team. In my opinion, it hurts Mich St more than Nebraska. Mich St has been leaning on high accuracy pass game this season to open up the run.
