While there are many things that head coaches of major college football programs like to have control over, one facet of the season coaches will never be able to manipulate, and that's Mother nature.

Hurricane Ian is the latest tropical system threatening to make landfall in the United States, as it has grown into a major Category 3 hurricane over the past 24 hours. While the state of Florida is likely to receive the brunt of Ian's wrath, many projection models have the remnants of Ian moving through and affecting the state of South Carolina throughout the upcoming weekend.

Lou Bezjak of The State Newspaper first reported the possibility earlier this morning; now, the University has officially announced that the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the South Carolina State Bulldogs has been moved to Thursday night with the game kicking off at 7 pm EDT.

With the ongoing situation, we ask that you stay up to date with your local weather stations and NOAA's national hurricane center for the latest information, as depending on where you live, this system could produce life-threatening weather conditions in your area.
