Baylor-Louisiana Tech game postponed over COVID-19 outbreak
Following in the footsteps of SMU-TCU and Tulsa-Oklahoma State, the Baylor game has been postponed due to COVID-19 outbreak. The timing of the Hurricane Laura during a pandemic did not help matters. It is unclear if and when this game will be played. Louisiana Tech doesn’t have a vacant spot on Sept. 19 to allow the game to be pushed back one week. Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports was the first to report the news.
Source: Louisiana Tech and Baylor are postponing their game scheduled for Saturday. Louisiana Tech had an outbreak of positive COVID tests in the wake of Hurricane Laura, as 38 players tested positive. Prior to Laura, they’d had just one positive over three weeks amid 350 tests.
