Beckman concerned about weather? Not after 'Blowing Green'
August 30, 2012 9:54 AM
Because of Hurricane Isaac, there's a chance Saturday's game will be played in a rainstorm. Illinois practiced in the rain Sunday, and Beckman has talked with the team about the possibility of playing in adverse conditions.
"We've definitely looked at some of that stuff with the hurricane coming up here, especially in the kicking game," he said. "I've been in northwest Ohio, which is a lot like central Illinois. We get tremendous winds. I've been in those situations at Blowing Green, that's what we called it instead of Bowling Green, and Toledo, so we'll be ready, and we've talked a lot about the wind."
