As the nation sees a surge in COVID-19 cases, the effects are being felt everywhere, and the world of college football is no exception. ULM’s game against Sun Belt rival Arkansas State has been postponed until Dec. 12 due to several athletes receiving positive coronavirus tests.
“Our number one priority remains fostering a safe campus environment for our student-athletes, coaches and administrators, and it became apparent that the team wouldn’t be able to safely resume practice in time to prepare for Saturday’s game,” Athletics Director Scott McDonald said.
This is not ULM’s first encounter with COVID-19 this season.
