South Carolina moves home game

-

South Carolina is moving its home game against Louisiana State to Baton Rouge, La., because of massive flooding around the university in Columbia.

The time for Saturday’s game at LSU has not been announced.

South Carolina officials wanted to keep the game in Columbia, but said Wednesday that law enforcemen­t officers who would direct traffic and keep Williams-Brice Stadium safe were needed elsewhere in the area to help clean up from the massive flooding.

“The stress on law enforcemen­t and first responders is too great. Moreover, we’ve had many in the Carolina family directly impacted by the f looding,” university President

Harris Pastides said in a statement. Pastides said since he canceled classes this week for 34,000 students, he couldn’t justify bringing in 84,000 people for a football game.
