Virginia’s home football game against Ohio, which was scheduled for 3 p.m. on Saturday at Scott Stadium, has been moved to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, due to the potential threat from Hurricane Florence.

The game, which was originally slated to kick off at 3 p.m. in Charlottesville, will now be played at 4:30 p.m. EST (3:30 p.m. local time in Nashville).

“Our top priority is the safety of everyone involved and I appreciate the understanding of our fans,” Virginia athletics director Carla Williams said in a release. “We’re extremely grateful to Vanderbilt University and vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and athletics director David Williams for graciously supporting our efforts. We look forward to returning to Scott Stadium for the Louisville game on Sept. 22.”

Tickets for Saturday’s game will be refunded if they were purchased through the University of Virginia ticket office. Admission to the game in Nashville will be free.

This means the Cavaliers will lose a guaranteed home game against the Bobcats.

UVa last played at Vanderbilt on Nov. 1, 1975, and lost 17-14.
