3 College Football Games Impacted by Hurricane Helene

Wager at FAU

FAU hosts Wagner on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET. Although the Hurricane has passed through Florida, the lasting effects will show on Saturday.

Forecasts call for rain and sustained winds near 15 mph on Saturday, with higher gusts expected.

UT-Martin at Kennesaw State

UT-Martin goes on the road to play Kennesaw State on Saturday and Georgia should see plenty of rain happen.

Gov. Brian Kemp declared a State of Emergency for Georgia and it could see over eight inches of rain before and during kickoff. The wind is also expected to impact this game.

Stanford at Clemson

Stanford goes on the road to play Clemson in an ACC matchup. With Hurricane Helene moving up the coast, South Carolina is expected to see over five inches of rain the 48 hours before kickoff.

The natural grass will soak up the rain, which could impact the playing surface. Although it isn't expected to rain, there is a contingency plan in place should something happen.

“It hasn’t changed anything, other than we had to come inside today. We started outside but had to come in,” Swinney said, via ClemsonInsider. "We have a lot of contingency plans. We anticipate it being clear and a nice gameday.

"But those are the type of things our operations people really spend a lot of time on, what-ifs – what if we lose power, what if our hotel loses power, cooking food. There’s a lot of things that you have to really plan for in a situation like that. It may not happen that way, but we’ve got to have a plan just in case."

Florida A&M University's home game against Alabama A&M, originally set for this Saturday, has been rescheduled for Friday, Nov. 29, due to the weather.
