Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin also chimed in on the game and said everything was done to make it happen, but safety is much more important.
Every possible effort was made to play this game, but given circumstances, playing game wasn’t right thing to do. Stay safe, Floridians. https://t.co/zGVbqKshet

The hurricane's projected path has moved to the west and looks like this according to NBC 2 in Fort Myers.
The hurricane has already forced Miami to cancel its game against Arkansas State as well as impacted several other schools including FIU, UCF and USF.
