NORMAN, Okla. –

Due to weather risks, kickoff time for Saturday's University of Oklahoma-Maine football game has been pushed back to 11 a.m

The game was originally scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. in Norman, but OU announced the change due to forecast rain.

OU announced the decision Friday, saying:

Given the inclement weather scheduled for Saturday, out of an abundance of caution and with the top priority of student-athlete and fan safety, our football game against Maine is postponed to 11 a.m. Some weather models show a higher risk of severe events. The weather starts earlier in the afternoon, which could make it difficult for us to finish the game. The earlier start is also intended to allow everyone to enjoy the game and travel home safely before conditions worsen.
