Hurricane Isaias impacts college football schedules and weather
Hurricane Isaias is impacting college football schedules and weather conditions across the Southeastern United States.
In Mississippi, the Centre College football game against the Millsaps Majors was moved to a Friday night kickoff to avoid the storm. Despite an early 13-0 lead, including a 76-yard touchdown run by quarterback Mason Trimble, the Colonels ultimately lost to the Majors with a final score of 28-13 after being outscored 21-0 in the fourth quarter.
In Tennessee, the upcoming Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt game faces potential disruptions. Nashville is forecasting a 90% chance of precipitation with heavy rain and wind gusts up to 40 mph expected around the scheduled kickoff time. While rain alone rarely stops SEC games, the threat of lightning strikes could trigger mandatory play halts at FirstBank Stadium.
