The University of South Florida announced Thursday its Saturday football game against the University of Connecticut "will not be played this week due to the severe threat posed to the state of Florida by Hurricane Irma."
While the game was scheduled to be played in Connecticut, the announcement pointed to the hurricane's "impediments to the safe travel" of the Bulls, as well as the "consideration for the players and family members."
The school noted the campus is closed through at least Sunday.
This comes after South Florida previously announced kickoff was moved from noon to 10:30 a.
