A hurricane hit Texas in September 2008 (maybe Hurricane Ike?). The forecast for the Stanford-TCU game called for buckets of rain and wind. The kickoff time was moved up from the evening to early afternoon in an effort to avoid the storm. As it turned out, the weather wasn't as bad as expected. Stanford stayed within a TD of TCU until the last 3 minutes of the game. TCU put the game away by scoring 10 points right at the end, for a final score of 31-14.
Rumor has it that Harbaugh was considering using Luck in that game as a true freshman. But Harbaugh didn't want to throw Luck into his first game in the middle of a hurricane, so he decided to let Luck sit out. After that, the decision was made to redshirt Luck. That supposedly was as close as Luck got to playing as a freshman.
