Due to weather risks, kickoff for the University of Oklahoma football game against Maine on Saturday has been moved to 11 a.m.

The game was originally scheduled to start at 1:30 PM in Norman, but OU announced the change due to forecasted rain.

OU announced the decision Friday, saying:

In light of the inclement weather scheduled for Saturday, and out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of students, athletes and fans as our top priority, our football game against Maine will be moved to 11:00 AM. Some weather models show a higher risk of severe weather starting earlier in the afternoon, which could complicate our ability to complete the game. The earlier start is also intended to allow everyone to enjoy the game and travel home safely before conditions deteriorate.
