Already moved on the calendar because of Hurricane Milton, the upcoming game between South Florida and Memphis is also changing locations.

The American Athletic Conference announced Thursday that the game would be moved from Tampa to Orlando, at Camping World Stadium. Earlier this week, the game was moved from its original Friday slot to Saturday. Kickoff will remain at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Orlando will now host two games on Saturday, as UCF will face Cincinnati in a Big 12 game at the Knights' FBC Mortgage Stadium.

Milton made landfall in the Tampa area on Wednesday evening and tore through much of Central Florida. As of Thursday night, at least a dozen people had been killed by the storm and more than 2 million remained without power. The storm also ripped most of the roof off Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla.
