CBS analyst Rick Neuheisel: ‘Suspicious’ Miami not willing to play Arkansas State

At least one person finds it odd that Miami will not play Arkansas State this weekend.

The Miami Hurricanes canceled their game against Arkansas State on Saturday due to concerns about Hurricane Irma, and CBS Sports analyst Rick Neuheisel finds it ‘suspicious’ that Miami is not willing to play the game.

The game was set to be played in Arkansas Saturday evening, but traveling home Saturday night or Sunday would have been impossible with the storm. Still, Neuheisel lists other Florida schools that were willing to rearrange their schedules in order to play games this weekend before the storm hits.
