The Gators' road game at Texas A&M on Sept. 8 took on a new twist late Tuesday afternoon when Louisiana Tech's official football Twitter feed sent out the following message:
"For the safety of fans and student-athletes, Louisiana Tech's game vs. Texas A&M has been postponed until Oct. 13."
With Hurricane Isaac approaching the Gulf Coast, it was an easy decision for Tech officials. What the postponement means for Texas A&M is that the Aggies' first game of the season, their first game under new coach Kevin Sumlin, and their first game as a member of the SEC will be against the Gators at Kyle Field.
The Gators open the season on Saturday against Bowling Green and will have a game in the books by the time they visit College Station.
However, they won't have game film of the Aggies under Sumlin.
Meanwhile, Texas A&M linebacker Steven Jenkins and defensive back Howard Matthews were suspended for Thursday's game at Louisiana Tech.
Whether or not the duo will now serve a suspension against the Gators remains uncertain.
Also, Aggies freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel won't have a game under his belt like the Gators' Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel. Manziel won the job in fall camp but has not played in a game.
Regardless, what already shaped up as a memorable game at Texas A&M just got more interesting.
