According to multiple reports on Tuesday, the game between Missouri and LSU originally scheduled to be played at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on Saturday night will instead be played at Faurot Field in Columbia, Mo.
The news was broken by KOMU-TV sports director Ben Arnet, with Rivals.com affiliate Power Mizzou confirming the report.

The decision to relocate the game is a result of the effect of Hurricane Delta, which is scheduled to make landfall along the Gulf Coast as early as Saturday morning. The official forecast for that day as of Tuesday evening was predicting winds of up to 40 miles per hour and a quarter-inch of rain, but that is obviously fluid and could change as the days go on.
According to Power Mizzou, the SEC was set to make a decision by Thursday, and from the looks of it, it appears the conference is set to officially make the call in short order.
