The game will be televised on FOX and heard on KSL NewsRadio. Extended radio pregame now begins at Noon on 102.7 FM.
Baylor couldn’t fly out of Waco on its original United Airlines flight because of the nationwide ground stop.
They are reportedly going to fly in on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. (Central Time), according to Sic ’em 365’s Grayson Grundhoefer.
This pushed-back kickoff time gives Baylor extra time to get settled before taking on No. 10 BYU at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.
On Friday afternoon at 1:54 p.m. (MST), the FAA issued a ground stop, the second ground stop since September 11, 2001. The FAA lifted the ground stop at 6:15 p.m. (MST) on Friday evening.
