AdvoCare Texas Kickoff between BYU-LSU relocated to Superdome in New Orleans

As Tropical Storm Harvey continues to inundate the Houston area with rainfall, the 2017 AdvoCare Texas Kickoff between BYU and LSU has been moved away from NRG Stadium.

The Cougars and Tigers will instead open the season across the border at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on Saturday (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The two teams were originally scheduled to meet in Houston for the annual kickoff game, but Harvey has devastated the Houston region with catastrophic flooding since Friday, affecting thousands of homes and making several major roadways and highways impassable.
