SALT LAKE CITY — Saturday’s matchup between the Kansas football team and No. 12 Utah has been moved earlier in the day due to forecasted inclement weather.

Kickoff for the Jayhawks and Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium is now set for 7 p.m. Central time, or 6 p.m. local. It was previously going to take place two hours and 25 minutes later.

The newly rescheduled game will start on ESPNews and will be broadcast on the ESPN App.

The National Weather Service out of Salt Lake City has warned of significant rainfall from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel between Saturday and Monday.

Utah (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) is coming off a bye week after beating Iowa State, while KU (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) shut out Middle Tennessee last Saturday.
