Utah-Arizona kickoff moved after FAA ground stop delays Utes

The Big 12 moved Saturday’s Utah-Arizona kickoff from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Mountain time after the Utes’ travel plans were disrupted by a nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop on November 13. The game is scheduled to be played in Tucson, Arizona.

The ground stop began at about 1:30 p.m. Mountain time and was lifted around 6:30 p.m. Utah tried to leave Salt Lake City that evening but could not; the team is scheduled to depart at 10:50 a.m. on November 14, the morning of the game.

Utah will bring an unbeaten record into the matchup with No. 23 Arizona, which is also undefeated at home this season. The Utes have not played a ranked opponent away from their Salt Lake City stadium this season. Arizona is scheduled to host FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff before the game.

The Wildcats have two regular-season games remaining after facing Utah: a November 21 road game against Kansas State and a November 28 game against rival Arizona State. Kickoff times for those games had not been set.
