Live weather updates on Alabama-Georgia, Week 6 football as Isaias strikes - USA Today
Hurricane Isaias is impacting the US Gulf Coast, causing concerns for scheduled college football games, including the Georgia vs. Alabama matchup. Meteorologists expect the storm to clear by kickoff, though power outages remain a potential issue.
Why it matters
The intersection of severe weather and major cultural events highlights the logistical challenges faced by event organizers during hurricane season.
Hear this story Hurricane Isaias has made landfall along the Gulf Coast, with its impacts already being felt as the Category 3 storm continues on its projected path inland.
Those impacts are expected to be felt on Saturday's slate of college football games.
The day's marquee matchup will take place in Tuscaloosa at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, where No. 2 Georgia faces No. 7 Alabama. Kickoff between the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide remains set for 7:30 p.m. ET, with weather conditions expected to clear before the top-10 showdown begins.
Although weather is expected to clear before No. 2 Georgia and No. 7 Alabama kick off, other notable college football games along Hurricane Isaias' projected path could face weather-related delays and game-impact conditions throughout the day.
