The UMass football team swapped out one game in Florida for another Thursday, postponing their matchup against the University of South Florida while adding a game against Florida International University due to Hurricane Irma.

UMass had been set to play USF on Oct. 14 in Tampa, Fla., but the Atlantic Athletic Conference (AAC) requested that game be postponed to a later date. USF will face Cincinnati at home that day instead, while UMass will face USF on the road in either the 2022 or 2023 season. The 2018 home contest against USF is unaffected.

Meanwhile, UMass adds FIU to its schedule on Dec. 2, 2018, which will be the 12th game of the season for both teams. If FIU qualifies for the C-USA conference championship game that weekend, UMass will travel to FIU in a season after 2020. FIU is scheduled to travel to UMass in 2020.

With the schedule changes in place, UMass has back-to-back bye weeks on Oct. 7 and Oct. 14.
