    The optics of having a football game while over a million people are without power and first responders are stretched thin, will, I predict, lead to this game either being canceled out right or rescheduled somehow.

    I agree AND they need this win to even have a chance to go to a bowl game. Tough place for the UAA to be in. Im sure they will make the most prudent decision.

    All colleges across the country should probably postpone weekend games.

    Will it be better next saturday? Weeks of immediate work to do in SWFL.

    Play the game without a crowd if FR are a concern

    If nothing else (and there really is a whole lot else) the large law enforcement presence usually manning the game and associated activities would be better off assisting with search and rescue, or back filling those who are going to assist with such efforts.

    Take a nap. The game will be over and you will have saved all the tooth gnashing.
