The UCF Knights announced Tuesday their Week 2 matchup with the Memphis Tigers has been moved to Friday at 6:30 p.m. ET in anticipation of Hurricane Irma.
The game was originally scheduled to kick off Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
"The best option for ensuring this game is played is to move it to Friday night," UCF athletics director Danny White said in a statement. "With travel considerations, we had to make that decision today. I thank the University of Memphis and the American Athletic Conference for working with us to keep safety our top priority while finding a way to play this game.
