ASU football’s game at Oklahoma State was pushed up from 4 p.m. MST to 12:30 p.m. due to weather concerns, the Big 12 Conference announced Friday.

The TV broadcast will be on FOX in Arizona and Oklahoma with an FS2 broadcast available in other markets.

The game had already seen a broadcast change from FS1 to FOX after the World Series was wrapped up in five games by the Los Angeles Dodgers, leaving the primetime evening slot open.

There will be a flood watch in effect from Saturday morning through Monday in Stillwater, according to the National Weather Service. Lightning is expected by Saturday night.

“We don’t see a lot of (rain). We can try to simulate it, but it’s different,” ASU coach Kenny Dillingham told Arizona Sports’ Bickley & Marotta on Friday, before the time change was announced. “How windy is it, how rainy is it definitely has an effect on the calls in the game and the rhythm of the game, the aggressiveness of the game.

“Some people think rain makes you less aggressive. Well sometimes rain and wind actually make you more aggressive because if you’re punting into 20 mph wind on the 50, you may only gain 30 yards. It’s fourth-and-three, maybe you gotta go for those.”

Dillingham added the week’s practices included wet-ball drills but admitted that those are a far cry from simulating thunderstorm weather.

The Cowboys’ in-state rival, Oklahoma, had already moved up its home game against Maine from 11:30 a.m. MST to 9 a.m., saying “some weather models show a higher risk of severe weather beginning earlier in the afternoon.”
