A nationwide Federal Aviation Administration ground stop forced officials to make adjustments to the kickoff time for Saturday's game. Arizona State football was among the teams directly affected by the unexpected aviation disruption. The Sun Devils now plan to travel to UCF on Saturday after the FAA grounding, and the kickoff time has also been pushed back.

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported that Arizona State was initially scheduled to face UCF at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. However, the travel complications led to a two-hour delay, moving the matchup to a new kickoff time of 5:30 p.m. ET.

“UCF-Arizona State is being pushed back two hours to 5:30 ET Saturday,” Dellenger wrote

The Big 12 released a statement Friday evening confirming that it was considering adjustments to Saturday's football schedule because of the nationwide FAA ground stop.

“Due to the national FAA ground stop impacting team travel, the Big 12 Conference is evaluating potential changes to Saturday’s football schedule,” the statement read. “The Conference will continue to monitor the travel disruptions alongside its member institutions and provide updates for Saturday’s games.”

Meanwhile, Utah also encountered travel complications ahead of its matchup against Arizona. The Utes were reportedly stranded in Salt Lake City and were not expected to depart until Saturday morning.

After a slow start to the season, the Sun Devils currently hold a 5-4 overall record. Meanwhile, UCF also enters the matchup with a 5-4 record and a 3-3 mark in conference play. Saturday's game therefore gives both programs an opportunity to improve their Big 12 standings.

With kickoff now moved to 5:30 p.m. ET, both teams will have to adjust to the unexpected scheduling changes before taking the field in Orlando.
