Football games across the east coast, college and professional, will inevitably be affected by the strength and velocity of Hurricane Joaquin. Though the hurricane may not even touch down on U.S. soil, preparation for heavy rain and potential flooding is necessary from Florida up all the way to Maine.

In anticipation of the lousy weather, the Florida State football team decided not to wait and see if their game in North Carolina will be affected by Joaquin and have instead started preparing for the worst.

Obviously, extreme weather may indeed postpone the game altogether, but for now preparing for rain that's basically guaranteed at this point is a pretty smart move on coach Jimbo Fisher's part.
FSU RB Dalvin Cook rushed for an incredible 422 yards and five touchdowns combined in the first two games of the season, then a week later he rushed for only 54 yards on 15 attempts against a stout Boston College defense. Rain or shine, look for Cook to rebound this week in Wake Forest.
