The college football matchup between Baylor and BYU has been moved to a later time following significant travel disruptions caused by a nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop.
The game, which was originally set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff, will now begin at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, according to ESPN reporter Pete Thamel.
Baylor had been scheduled to fly from Waco but was forced to remain grounded while waiting for federal travel restrictions to be lifted, as reported by ClutchPoints.
The Bears are now expected to complete their travel to Provo early Saturday morning.
The decision to reschedule the game became necessary because BYU cannot play on Sundays due to religious restrictions, noted Thamel in his report.
The FAA issued the nationwide ground stop on Friday afternoon citing safety concerns, which created cascading travel complications for various programs across the country.
While the restriction was eventually lifted later that evening, the timing of the order forced multiple teams to adjust their logistical plans for Week 11 road games.
For the Cougars, the shift in schedule requires adjustments to their original game-day preparations despite the home-field advantage at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
BYU enters the contest with a 7-2 overall record and a 4-2 standing in Big 12 play.
The travel issues were not isolated to this specific matchup, as other programs also faced similar hurdles ahead of their weekend contests.
For instance, the Utah clash with Arizona was pushed back by three hours after the team was forced to cancel its Friday flight, per reporting from local outlets.
Similarly, the Minnesota football program opted to move its travel flight to Saturday morning before its scheduled showdown against Penn State, as noted by the outlets.
The Baylor team is now focused on their arrival in Utah to face the Cougars.
