PROVO, Utah – The warm temperatures during last week’s BYU football game are gone.

Cold temperatures will replace the warmth when No. 13 BYU takes on Oklahoma State tonight at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.

KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson provided an updated weather report for tonight’s game during “KSL Today” on Friday morning.

Weather forecast for BYU/Oklahoma State

“It has to be dry. Maybe a little canyon wind. But the temperatures (will be) cold. Good luck as BYU tries to go 7-0 today,” KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson said during his Friday morning forecast.

Johnson predicts the temperature will be 47 degrees at kickoff (8:15 p.m.) and 44 degrees in the fourth quarter.

This will be the first game of the season with temperatures below 65 degrees. BYU’s games during its 6-0 start this season have been played in perfect weather conditions.

Oklahoma State has played all of its games mainly in scorching temperatures. Their game against Utah on September 21 reached 100 degrees at kickoff. The Pokes’ last game two weeks ago against West Virginia started at 93 degrees.

Perhaps the colder temperatures at high altitude can still provide an advantage for the heavily favored BYU team.

“We’re supposed to be a cold-weather team, and we’re used to living at high altitudes,” BYU defensive coordinator Jay Hill said earlier this week. “We are used to cold weather. We’re used to playing spring ball practices in the rain and sleet, so whatever comes our way should be our advantage in my opinion.
