My thinking is if the game cant be played Saturday, it wouldn't able to be p[layed Sunday for the same reason as Saturday (Power outages, awful field conditions, etc).
I agree. It's doubtful that such problems could be resolved in one day. When LSU and Tennessee rescheduled for Monday night in 2005, it was because the storm was actually going on during the originally scheduled Saturday night time slot, and the aftermath was not bad in Baton Rouge, although it was terrible in other parts of the state. In this case, the aftermath is the potential problem they're worried about, so it's hard to imagine that they could be done with all that just a day later, or even two.
Moving the game to Sunday would solve one problem, though. LSU's travel plans will be affected if we have to play on Saturday, and that situation might improve in one day (i.e. airports, roads being open, etc.).
