LSU athletic director Joe Alleva told associate communications director Bill Franques that it is "almost certain" that the Tigers will have to move their season opening game against BYU that is scheduled to be played at NRG Stadium in Houston, according to Andrew Lopez of Nola.com.
In the statement, Franques explains that the ultimate decision on moving the game will come down to ESPN and NRG, the organizers of the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff.
BYU released a statement saying that the main concern is the people in the area being affected by Hurricane Harvey, but all parties are working toward a solution for figuring out the best way to play the game Saturday.
