That game is in 17 months. Seems weird to cancel it so late. Any idea why?

Sec will probably go to 9 games. Doesn’t make sense to add a 9-3 at worst P5 team to the schedule. With as how beat up our players get during a traditional 8 game sec slate it’s just a bad idea. Even the players who aren’t on the injury sheet are dealing with something by the time the middle of the season rolls around. Might suck for the fans to play teams like furman mercer etc but our players desperately need it so they’re getting a little bit of a break instead of getting smashed in the mouth by 4/5 star blue chip physical sec players
