ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Michigan’s football game at the University of Maryland this Saturday (Oct. 3) has been moved to a noon EDT kickoff from its previously scheduled 8 p.m. start, the Big Ten Conference announced.
The Big Ten has been in counsel with Maryland and Michigan throughout the week on the course of Hurricane Joaquin and its possible effects on Saturday’s game. The three entities agreed that moving the game time was the appropriate decision.
“The weather experts are still dealing with uncertain probabilities for the course of Hurricane Joaquin,” said Jim Hackett, interim Director of Athletics. “Thus we remain vigilant on developments and will err on the side of safety for all participants and fans.”
Michigan (3-1), ranked 22nd in the latest Associated Press top-25 poll, and Maryland (2-2) will open their Big Ten schedules at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium in College Park, Maryland. The game will be aired live on Sports Radio 1400 WSJM beginning with the pregame show at 11:00am.
