The state of South Carolina will not provide state troopers for Saturday’s game against Georgia, Gov. Nikki Haley said Wednesday.

“What we have informed USC is we will not be able to give any state support for that game,” Haley told reporters at a news conference. “I can’t take troopers off the road to go put them at a football game. If they do that, they would be working with the Richland County Sheriff’s office to get that done.

The decision stems from the impending Hurricane Matthew, which is expected to hit the state in the coming days.
