Every year Florida and LSU play each other as part of a permanent cross-divisional rivalry. And almost every year that game is a night time kickoff. However, this year's unexpected turn of events with Hurricane Matthew and inability to reschedule the game in a timely manner have given us a much different kickoff time:

If that seems so unfamiliar for LSU fans that's probably because it is quite rare. Ross Dellenger of The Advocate in Baton Rouge gives us quite the stat on LSU kickoff times.
The Nov. 19 game against Florida will be the first #LSU home game to kick at noon since....
1989.
