Hoping to avoid Tropical Storm Idalia, Florida is altering its travel plans for the season opener at No. 14 Utah on Thursday, as the Gators will fly to Dallas on Tuesday, practice and spend the night there, and then travel to Salt Lake City Wednesday.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida is altering its travel plans for the team's season opener at No. 14 Utah on Thursday night, hoping to avoid Tropical Storm Idalia.
A team spokesman said Monday that the Gators will fly to Dallas on Tuesday, practice and spend the night there, and then travel to Salt Lake City on Wednesday. Coach Billy Napier's team had initially planned to fly from Gainesville to Utah on Wednesday. "If you're going to go west, that makes the most sense," Napier said."Hotel was a big logistical issue relative to where to go. ... This could end up being a positive. We break the flight up. We get the players and the staff into Dallas, get a good night's rest, a little extra focus and then obviously get to spend some more time together. We see that being positive.
Idalia intensified Monday, and forecasters predicted it would hit in days as a major hurricane with potentially life-threatening storm surges. Idalia thrashed Cuba with heavy rain, especially on the westernmost part of the island, where the tobacco-producing province of Pinar del Rio is still recovering from Ian's devastation. As much as 4 inches of rain fell in Cuba on Sunday, meteorological stations reported.
