The college football matchup between No. 17 Ole Miss and Oklahoma has been officially rescheduled to Sunday, Nov. 15, after travel complications prevented the Rebels from reaching their destination on time, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Southeastern Conference announced the scheduling change shortly after midnight on Nov. 14, confirming that the game would not proceed as originally planned on Saturday, reported the Mississippi Clarion Ledger.
The contest between the Rebels and the Sooners is now set for a noon kickoff on Sunday.
The original schedule called for a 3:15 p.m. start on Saturday, Nov. 14, which was slated for broadcast on the SEC Network, as noted by the Clarion Ledger.
Travel plans for the Ole Miss football program were disrupted on Nov. 13 due to a nationwide ground stop order issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The federal order, which impacted air travel across the country, began around 3 p.m. and was not lifted until approximately 7:30 p.m. that evening, per the flight delay report.
Although the aviation authorities lifted the restriction later that night, the university determined that the team would not make the trip to Oklahoma on Nov. 13, as stated by USA Today.
The No. 17 Rebels enter the game with a 6-3 overall record and a 4-3 standing within the SEC, while the Sooners currently hold a 5-4 record, according to data provided by USA Today.
As of early Saturday, officials had not yet determined which television network would carry the rescheduled Sunday game, the outlets reported.
Fans are advised to monitor official conference channels for further updates regarding the broadcast schedule.
