The University of California will treat tonight’s game against No. 8 Washington State as a lightning delay if air quality gets too bad to play, according to a report by ESPN.
This means the 7:30 p.m. game will not be rescheduled, reported ESPN’s Molly McGrath citing Pac-12 sources. Players would be cleared from the field until conditioned improve as is customary during stormy weather, ESPN reported. “It could be a late night,” McGrath said.
Reporting from Memorial Stadium, McGrath said ash was falling from the sky.
Cal issued a statement Thursday stating that it was monitoring the air quality and planned to play the game as scheduled.
