It’s looking like close to 90° degrees sunny with low wind and 50% humidity for kickoff 
Texas Tech will melt under pressure lol
50% humidity in Houston is a blessing for visiting teams.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t “feel” like it does in Houston.

Facts.
Houston is also so close to the Gulf of Mexico.
Heat in Houston is just as bad as Miami.

Rationally, thinking this is going to be some big edge seems foolish.

It was in 2009 when Keenum was slinging it all over the place.
Agreed. The only way that’s a factor is if the Coogs run tempo to gas then, which I very seriously doubt they’ll do. Although, it should be considered. Coogs need to find an edge where they can.
If you live by the water in Miami, Houston is worse by far. Now further inland, yes, just as bad.
if we’re relying on the weather to win we’ve got bigger problems.
hope our team is fired up and we come out swinging!

The hottest I have ever been was at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas in July, even in the water it was hot, my brother-in-law passed out just standing in the shade.
FYI I’m just bragging I went to Fort Jefferson.

The hottest I’ve ever been was in August of 1990, a couple of days after Saddam invaded Kuwait. I was on DRF1 in the 82nd Airborne Division, first unit to deploy to Desert Shield/Storm. Stepped off the tailgate of a C-141 Starlifter onto the tarmac (black asphalt)… jet wash still coming off of the jet engines, 12:05 pm (just after noon), wearing BDUs (dark green, light green, brown, and black), black boots, ruck sack, A-bag, B-bag, M16, and Kevlar.
The wheels of the C-141 were sinking into the asphalt, which was soft and mushy like wet tar. It stuck to the bottom of our boots.
The thermometer on the side of the hanger registered 136 degrees (raw temperature). The wet-bulb temperature (feels like), couldn’t even be calculated, because our equipment didn’t measure that high.
We were just a couple miles from the Persian Gulf, so it wasn’t just hot, but humid too.
Aside from the water in our canteens, the only water available was cases of bottled water on palates, sitting out in the sun, with no shade. It was so hot, you couldn’t swallow it.
Salt stains immediately started forming on our BDUs and we had to ground our equipment, blouse our pants and shirt-sleeves, erect GP Medium Tents (with the sides rolled up ) to provide shade over the water and still allow air to flow.
Then, when we refilled our canteens with the water, still had to pour water over the canteen cover, to act like an air conditioner to be able to (barely) be able to drink the water.
Hottest part of the world, hottest time of the year, hottest part of the day… not dressed for the weather… etc… etc… etc….
But… we were in shape. Within 2 weeks we were mostly acclimated. We were Paratroopers, after all…

I j own we are talking HOT. Coldest I’ve ever been was at the Notre Dame Houston game at the Cotton Bowl in the infamous 1979 game. That day was miserable in Dallas, miserable the roads weren’t passable, nothing was done overpasses freeway side streets they even passable, the parade made it one block the Cotton Bowl parade. Ice everywhere Just atrocious really should’ve called off the game and for the Cougars cancel the last couple minutes.
