It was announced Wednesday morning that LSU's game vs. Missouri on Saturday is being relocated from Baton Rouge to Columbia due to Hurricane Delta.
The kickoff time also changed from 8 pm CT to 11 am CT, which head coach Ed Orgeron was happy about since it allows the team to get home as soon as possible on Saturday. Per The Advocate:

Travel and rest was the concern. Orgeron said if the game had been played at 8 p.m. in Missouri, the team wouldn't have made it back into Baton Rouge until 4 a.m. Sunday.
Team trainers told Orgeron that it takes two days for a team to recover from a game, and a late kick could possibly set the Tigers back while they prepare to play at No. 4 Florida on Oct. 17, one of their biggest games of the year.
With the morning kickoff, Orgeron said, the team will instead return to Baton Rouge at 6-7 p.m. on Saturday.
"I think our team and our coaches will get more rest," Orgeron said. "I think that was a big advantage for us."
