COLLEGE STATION, TX — The November 14 Texas A&M game against Tennessee has been postponed to December.
The game will now be played on December 12 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
In a statement, A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork revealed there are currently three active cases of COVID-19 within the football program. Two of the cases traveled to South Carolina.
Bjork said the nature of the away-game travel lead to an increase in the number of student-athletes, coaches and staff who met the criteria for mandatory quarantine based on contact tracing guidelines.
