The University of Central Florida and Tulane have agreed to postpone Friday’s football game until Saturday, Nov. 5.
“Taking into account all the latest projections for Hurricane Matthew, we have to keep the safety of everyone involved in these events at the forefront of our decision-making,” UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Danny White said.
“We appreciate our friends at Tulane and Houston understanding and working with us through this situation. Commissioner Mike Aresco and the American Athletic Conference staff have been very helpful as well.”
