LAFAYETTE - Louisiana Football's Wednesday, Oct. 7, game at Appalachian State has been postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing within the Mountaineers' football program.

Louisiana and Appalachian State, with assistance from the Sun Belt Conference, have rescheduled the game to either Friday, Dec. 4, or Saturday, Dec. 5, in Boone, N.C.

"We are disappointed for our football program, but are certainly supportive and understanding of Appalachian State's response to this situation," Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard said. "The health and safety of all involved is of the highest importance."

Head coach Billy Napier's Ragin' Cajuns (3-0, 2-0) will continue preparations for the remainder of its 2020 schedule at this time. Additional schedule information will be announced as it becomes available.

might be good news

UL agreed to this stupid mid-week game just to get on ESPN2, but they've already had several games on ESPN because of Covid

They always come out flat in this midweek nonsense

Kind of makes sense to postpone this til the end of the year anyway. De facto SBC championship game.

So what’s the threshold for postponing a game? We were missing 15 guys last week. Is it 20? 30?

Looks like an App student died of Covid complications recently according to this article.

Contact tracing is causing all kinds of problems. Some of these games are being cancelled because teams are afraid to lose. Not saying that happened here but some are gaming the system. The USF cancellation last week seemed shady.

In many cases it seems to be how much of a position is depleted along with total numbers. Like if 8 of your OL players have to quarantine its not reasonable to expect your team to play. Its potentially unsafe.

Looks like ULL gets a December game to play into the college football playoff.

The student dying is the more concerning part

Did yall read how the student died? Kinda scary. Was fine and sent back to school after thinking he beat the virus. Then it shut down his neurological system in a matter of 24 hours
