The University of Arizona football team is set to host the University of Utah Saturday night in a crucial top 25 college showdown. The Wildcats are ranked 23rd in the country and looking to knock off the 2nd ranked Utes — that is, if the visiting team is able to get to Tucson.
As of Friday afternoon, the Utah football team is stuck in Salt Lake City as a result of a nationwide FAA shutdown, grounding all flights across the country. According to a team spokesman, “We are currently grounded in Salt Lake City. Currently no other updates at this time.” The team was expected to arrive in Tucson Friday afternoon.
Arizona and Utah are scheduled to kick off their game Saturday night at 5:30 pm at Casino Del Sol Stadium. As of Friday evening, there are no changes to the start time of the game.
This is a developing story.
