FB time change

Football

Kickoff on Saturday moved up to 2 p.m.

LAKE CHARLES - McNeese's regular season football finale against Lamar has been moved up to a 2 o'clock kickoff time due to the forecasted severe weather that's supposed to be in the area later in the afternoon and early evening.

The Cowboys (6-4), ranked 17th and 19th in this week's FCS Top 25 polls, need a win in the finale to have a shot for the FCS playoffs while Lamar (7-4) is playing for its most wins in school history as a four-year university.

Recent changes to the rules about the weather have focused on the safety of fans and players and a game is delayed at a minimum of 30 minutes following a lightning strike. 

Several teams from around the region are making or have made similar plans to avoid the weather.
