Weather forecast, impact for Michigan State-USC game on Saturday

For the first time this year, Michigan State football is hitting the road and leaving Spartan Stadium.

Michigan State heads across the country to USC for some late night football on the west coast on Saturday. Kickoff between the Spartans and Trojans is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET, with the game set to be televised on FOX. This will be the first road game and first Big Ten matchup for the Spartans this season.

So will the weather impact this week's matchup between Michigan State and USC? Let's take a look at the official weather forecast for Saturday in Los Angeles and how it could possibly impact this matchup.

Gameday Weather Forecast

For a the first time this year, Michigan State is on the road and we will be taking a look at the weather at a new city. According to Weather.com, here are the highlights and key details for Saturday's weather forecast in Los Angeles:

• High temperature for Saturday is 84 degrees, with a low of 66 degrees in the evening closer to kickoff
• Clear evening skies will give way to mostly cloudy skies overnight
• There is roughly a 10% chance of rain during the evening
• Wind gusts will be five per hour on Saturday

Impact on Game

It should be another week where the weather should have little to no impact on the Michigan State game. This will be one of the hottest games they've played this year, but by kickoff it'll cool off in Los Angeles. The lone potential factor is a projected humidity rate of 85% -- which could impact endurance for both teams. Whoever has more depth could get have an extra advantage in the fourth quarter.
