COLUMBIA, Mo. — Saturday's Missouri-Louisiana State football game is on the move. The game originally scheduled for 8 p.m. in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, will now kick off at 11 a.m. in Columbia, multiple sources confirmed to the Post-Dispatch on Tuesday. The schools and the Southeastern Conference are expected to formally announce the change in venue at 9 a.m. Wednesday. KOMU-TV in Columbia and other outlets have reported the same.

With the looming threat of Hurricane Delta, Missouri athletics department officials and their LSU counterparts have been discussing contingency plans for Saturday's game for several days.
