DENTON - The North Texas football team's game with UTEP scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, has been postponed due to surging cases of COVID-19 in El Paso. The teams are working together to reschedule the game, and Conference USA will assist both teams with the schedule change.
The decision to postpone the game follows the issuance of a stay-at-home order as new, daily positive test rates have reached critical levels in El Paso.
"We are disappointed to have our first postponement of a Conference USA game, but the health and safety of our student-athletes, staff and coaches is our number one priority," said UNT President Neal Smatresk. "We send our best wishes to the entire El Paso community as they face the challenge of dealing with the latest outbreak."
