The Michigan State football game against Washington has been rescheduled due to unforeseen travel disruptions that grounded the visiting team.
The kickoff was moved to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The change was confirmed by a school official late Friday night after the Huskies faced significant complications departing from Seattle.
The team had initially boarded their plane around 5:15 p.m. ET, but air travel issues prevented their departure, the outlets reported.
The Huskies finally took off at 10:50 p.m. ET and were expected to arrive at Capital City Airport in Lansing around 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning.
The matchup was originally scheduled for 4:15 p.m. at Spartan Stadium, per Michigan State team data.
Despite the adjustment in time, the game will remain on the Big Ten Network, as confirmed by local media.
Michigan State enters the contest with a 3-6 record, including a 1-5 standing in the Big Ten conference.
Washington travels to Lansing with a 5-4 overall record and a 2-4 mark in conference play, according to Washington team records.
The travel delay caused a major shift in the weekend schedule for both athletic programs.
Fans are encouraged to check for further updates through the Big Ten Network or official university channels.
The late-night arrival in Lansing leaves the visiting team with a condensed window to prepare for the evening kickoff.
The university confirmed the official time change shortly after the flight status was updated late Friday night.
The game remains a critical matchup for both programs as they look to improve their standings in the Big Ten.
No further adjustments to the schedule have been announced at this time.
