Weather could be a factor in Bedlam matchup Saturday between Oklahoma-Oklahoma State

Bedlam is known for its treacherous weather. It’s 72 hours out, but the rain chances remain good for Saturday night during the game.

Bedlam is known for its treacherous weather.

The 2013 game was played after a snow/ice storm. The 2015 game the same, the 2016 game in rain and all the way back to 1985 when the Ice Bowl game took place.

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were scheduled to play the 2020 matchup earlier in the season on Oct. 24 before the COVID-19 pandemic cut games and moved the schedule around. The later on in the year, the better chance of weather having some sort of impact.

The National Weather Service has upped the rain chances on Saturday to 80 percent with highs during the day being in the upper 60s. Per the Weather Channel, the chance of rain is 60 percent Saturday night and a high of 48 degrees.

Bedlam is scheduled to kickoff at 6:30 p.m. CT.. It is unclear 72 hours out from the game if any inclement weather will take place during the game or have a chance to postpone it.

Rain and a wet field would certainly change the aspect of the game. The Sooners have a tad bit better running game and are deeper up front along he defensive line.

Oklahoma won that 2016 game against Oklahoma State that was played in the rain.
