Hurricane Irma's impact on FAU's travel plans unknown, Lane Kiffin says

Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin was unsure how Hurricane Irma would affect the Owls’ travel plans for their road game at No. 9 Wisconsin this weekend.

“I don’t know all that yet,” Kiffin said. “Obviously, I’m not a weatherman, so I just listen to what they say and I guess there’s a potential that we could get stuck up there. Potential of flying back somewhere more north like Orlando, I guess, and driving down. We’ll just do whatever they tell us to do.”

As of Tuesday’s 2 p.m. advisory, Irma was a Category 5 hurricane expected to impact South Florida as early as Friday evening, with effects lasting Saturday and Sunday.
