BATON ROUGE, La. ? Due to the state of Louisiana preparing for the impending arrival of Hurricane Gustav, kickoff for Saturday’s football game between Appalachian State and LSU has been moved to 11 a.m. EDT (10 a.m. CDT). The game will be shown live on ESPN Classic.

“The impending situation is certainly more important than football, so we aren’t upset in the least by the time change” Appalachian head coach Jerry Moore said. “We’ll be ready to play tomorrow morning and will keep the people along the Gulf Coast in our prayers.”

The ASU Alumni Association tailgate party will still be held, beginning at 7:30 a.m. CDT.
