The Cougars practiced at the UT-Austin campus on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday due to disastrous effects of flooding and other damage from Hurricane Harvey. The team arrived in Austin on Friday before the storm made landfall in Rockport.
They practiced Saturday before taking time to watch the Mayweather-McGregor fight together to unwind after a hectic week, said athletics spokesman David Bassity.
Despite the team’s practice in Austin, Vice President for Athletics Hunter Yurachek made the call to cancel Saturday’s game at UTSA. Unless the Cougars are playing in the AAC Championship Game at that time, the match is tentatively rescheduled for Dec.
