With Hurricane Delta bearing down on the gulf states, a number of college football games have been impacted.
LSU-Missouri has been moved from Baton Rouge to Columbia and a game between Louisiana and Coastal Carolina has been postponed.
There had been rumblings this week that the Alabama-Ole Miss game could be moved, and it appears that will be the case. Per Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, the kickoff time will be moved from 6 p.m. Eastern time to around 8:30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday:

The thinking there is probably that the worst of the storm will be over by then, but it’s still likely to be a rainy situation in Oxford.
Will the game kickoff at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, or are more changes coming? We’ll see what the weather brings over the next couple of days.
