SMU has agreed to move up its season-opening football game against Texas State to Aug. 29, per a Texas State press release.
The game, originally scheduled for Sept. 5, is still to be played in San Marcos. Keff Ciardello, of the Austin American-Statesmen, reported the Bobcats have been discussing the potential for fans to be in the stands in some capacity. No tailgating would likely be allowed.
Oklahoma University made a similar move last week, also bumping up its game against Missouri State by a week. The athletic department, in that case, said it was a decision that would allow for more flexibility in scheduling as games are canceled.
