Oklahoma Athletic Director Roger Denny Slams Ground Stop Delay Of Sooners-Ole Miss College Football Game: “This Decision Isn’t Fair”

Nine college football games have been rescheduled after an unexpected FAA ground stop disrupted travel across the United States. The halt in flights caused significant delays for teams traveling to away games. Consequently, the nine affected games are: Auburn vs Mississippi State, set for 4:15 PM ET; Tulane vs Rice, 2:00 PM ET; Kansas vs West Virginia, 3:30 PM ET; Arizona State vs UCF, 3:30 PM ET; Baylor vs BYU, 7:00 PM ET; FAU vs Tulsa, 7:15 PM ET; Washington vs Michigan State, 4:15 PM ET; Utah vs Arizona, 10:30 PM ET; and Ole Miss vs Oklahoma, moved from Saturday to Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.
The most notable change is Utah at Arizona, with the No. 2-ranked Utes aiming for a College Football Playoff bid. The FAA ground stop significantly impacted their preparation for this crucial matchup against the No. 23-ranked Wildcats. The Ole Miss-Oklahoma game also presents potential consequences, as the Rebels possess a slim chance of securing a playoff spot, but their absence of key players such as top rusher Kewan Lacy puts them in a difficult position to win in Norman.
