Hurricane Delta forces the relocation of this Saturday’s Missouri-LSU game. Instead of taking place at Tiger Stadium, the Tigers will be heading to Columbia, Missouri. LSU Coach Ed Orgeron says the team is adapting to the last-minute shakeup.
“We’re going to keep everything the same. I don’t know whether we are going to leave Friday night or Thursday night, It all depends. The only thing that is different is that we’re going to practice in Missouri,” said Orgeron.
The game was originally set for Saturday night, but with the change in venue comes a change in kickoff time. Orgeron says the 11 AM kickoff is to the benefit of the team because a night game would have resulted in the team rolling back into Baton Rouge extremely early Sunday morning, throwing off the circadian rhythm of the team.
“Talking to our trainers, it takes two days to recover. Playing an 11 o’clock game, we’re going to be back in Baton Rouge around 6 or 7 o’clock at night and I think our team and our coaches will get more rest. I think that was a big advantage for us,” said Orgeron.
