College football has returned, and Mother Nature seems to be already making unwelcome visits.
Seen throughout periods of Saturday’s season kickoff between No. 10 Florida State vs. Georgia Tech in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic in Dublin rain is coming down, and no question it has caused some slippery playing surfaces and brought some early challenges to new quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and the Seminoles offense as they look to find a groove.
