NORFOLK, Va. -- Old Dominion’s football game at Charlotte, originally scheduled for Saturday night, will instead be played Thursday at 4 p.m. at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, officials from both schools announced on Wednesday.
The game was moved up in anticipation of Hurricane Florence, a category 4 storm that is expected to hit the North Carolina coast late Thursday.
ODU coach Bobby Wilder and his team boarded buses for Charlotte Monday afternoon. At that time, ODU and Charlotte officials thought the game would be played Saturday.
But the predicted path of Florence has since shifted southward.
