The game was slated to start at 7:30pm ET. But it took around 20-25 more minutes for the game to kick off at the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, at 7:50 pm EDT due to confusion with broadcasting caused by the delay in the game between Alabama and FSU.

The Alabama vs. FSU game, which was streaming on ABC, was moved to ESPN2 so that the LSU vs Ole Miss game can air on ABC and ESPN app. At the time of the kickoff, the game was in the third quarter and had a long-time left.

ESPN provided the updated schedule for the upcoming college football games on Saturday.
