Baylor Athletics confirmed today that the opening game against Houston will be postponed.

The match-up was scheduled to take place this Saturday at McLane Stadium. Baylor and Houston will honor the future home and home arrangement and will look for possible dates to reschedule the game this season.

“The loss of this game is a devastating blow, but in the interest of the health and safety of our student-athletes, we believe we made the necessary decision,” said Baylor Athletic Director Mack Rhoades. “We are incredibly disappointed with the continued delay to the start of our season, and empathize with our student-athletes, fans, coaches, and administrative staff.
