Football to practice at UT-Austin ahead of hurricane

Football is taking no chances with fast-approaching Hurricane Harvey as the team prepares for an upcoming game against UTSA.

Athletic Director Hunter Yuracheck decided to relocate the team’s practices to UT-Austin through at least Sunday to ensure the team’s safety.

“As it became apparent that Harvey was going to have a significant impact throughout the weekend and early into next week, we reached out to schools within the state of Texas that we have great relationships with, and inquired about the opportunity for our football program to practice and use their facilities as we are relocating outside of Houston,” Yuracheck said to the Houston Chronicle.
