The University of Central Florida has moved its football game against Memphis up a day as a precaution due Hurricane Irma.
The UCF athletic department says the home game will be played Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando.
The American Athletic Conference opener was originally scheduled for Saturday at 8 p.m.
The school also announced Tuesday that there will be no tailgating. Parking lots and the stadium will open for fans at 5 p.m.
The Memphis Tigers are no stranger to bad weather. Ironically, Memphis played its home opener against Louisiana Monroe in the remnants of tropical storm Harvey last Thursday. The storm dumped as much as six inches of rain in the Memphis area and caused power outages to atlas 20,000 customers.
