One of the toughest aspects of preparing for the 2024 season opener against Texas A&M on the road in Kyle Field was the potential for excessive heat. Northern Indiana gets hot, of course, but you can’t simulate the sweltering heat that is possible and even likely in Texas in August. However, based on the latest forecasts, it looks as though Notre Dame is getting weather conditions that will be as favorable as possible.
The current forecasts for Saturday in College Station call for a high of just 88 degrees with scattered showers and thunderstorms. It was 100 degrees or warmer in College Station for four days last week alone.
