Alabama-Mississippi matchup has been delayed, due to Hurricane Delta

Alabama football will still play Mississippi on Saturday, but the time will be different.

According to an announcement from Lane Kiffin on the Tom Abraham Show via ESPN 97.7, the matchup has been moved to 7:30 p.m. CT because of Hurricane Delta. Now a category four storm, Delta is scheduled to impact southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi this weekend. The Southeastern Conference has been monitoring the weather all week and with Missouri choosing to host LSU on Saturday, both the Crimson Tide and Ole Miss are fine with keeping the same date.
