Rutgers might be playing No. 5 Ohio State and Mother Nature this weekend.
There is a chance Tropical Storm Gordon could dump heavy rains on Ohio Stadium this Saturday when the Buckeyes and Scarlet Knights meet in the Big Ten opener for both schools.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Eastern. It might be very wet then, according to an early forecast by WMCH-TV in Columbus:
The forecast on Saturday will hinge on the future track of Tropical Storm Gordon, which intensified near South Florida Monday and is expected to make landfall near Mobile, Alabama, or along the Mississippi coast Tuesday night as either a tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane.
