South Carolina’s game at LSU will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. local time (3:30 p.m. EST) on Saturday at Tiger Stadium.
University officials decided to switch venues Wednesday afternoon due to devastating flooding that has hit the Palmetto State.
No TV channel has been announced, but the game’s expected to be televised.
South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show on Wednesday and detailed his crew’s reasoning behind moving locations. He said Atlanta, Charlotte and Jacksonville also reached out and offered their stadiums for a neutral-site location.
