It's looking like a pretty nice day in Ames, Iowa on Saturday, where the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns will take on the 23rd-ranked Iowa St. Cyclones in the 2020 season opener for both teams.

The forecast is for partly cloudy skies for most of the day, with an afternoon high in the mid-'70s, with winds blowing from the west-southwest at about 10 mph.

After a fairly cool morning, in which the temperature should be in the upper '50s, expect a comfortable afternoon, with a temp warming up into the mid-'70s.

There is a 30% chance of rain in the forecast, with those being mainly afternoon showers/thunderstorms.

Louisiana, who set a new school record for wins in a single season, going 11-3 a season ago, while Iowa St. ended last year going 7-6.

This will mark the first-ever meeting between the two programs.
