Kickoff Time Changed For Tide's Road Match With Rebels

TUSCALOOSA, AL. — The University of Alabama announced Thursday that the kickoff time has been adjusted for the Crimson Tide's Saturday matchup on the road against the Ole Miss Rebels in Oxford, Mississippi.

Initially slated for a 5 p.m. kickoff, local time, the time has now been pushed back to 6:30 p.m. due to Hurricane Delta, which is expected to bring heavy rain, high winds and the potential for severe weather across a wide swath of the southeast.

According to a statement from UA on Thursday, the change in start time was made to provide a forecast for better game conditions with respect to the weather.

The game will also still be televised on ESPN.

This is a developing story. Patch will provide more updates as they come available.
