The track for Hurricane Helene has forced two college football teams to reschedule an upcoming game. Florida A&M and Alabama A&M were teed up to play this weekend. However, because Hurricane Helene is feared to impact the Sunshine State, the two sides agreed to reschedule the game for later this season.
ESPN college football insider Pete Thamel reported the news on the game’s rescheduling on Tuesday morning.
Thamel reported that the game will now be played on November 29, 2024. The two sides were originally scheduled to play this Saturday in Tallahassee at 6 p.m.
FAMU game this weekend vs Alabama A&M is rescheduled to 11.29.24 due to Hurricane Helene, per a school spokesman.

Hurricane Helene continues to develop in the Tropics. This game likely won’t be the only one rescheduled, postponed, or even outright canceled this weekend. We’ll continue to be mindful of the situation and monitor everything. Our best wishes are to everyone in the state of Florida who could be affected by the hurricane.
An AccuWeather post on the Hurricane said of the storm, “Helene will take a similar path to Hurricane Debby, which made landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida on Aug. 5 as a Category 1 hurricane. However, Helene is forecast to be significantly larger and more powerful than Debby, making it a more dangerous storm.”
