The University of Washington football team was at the airport Friday afternoon preparing to depart for its Nov. 14 game at Michigan State when the FAA issued a nationwide ground stop. According to a program spokesperson, the Huskies are now back on campus waiting for a directive.

Michigan State (3-6, 1-6 Big Ten) and Washington (5-4, 2-4) are set to kick off at 4:15 p.m. ET on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. That all depends on the visiting team’s travel plans, given that there is currently an indefinite timeline for the ground stop.
The Big Ten has not yet released a statement on the ground stop that has affected teams around the country.
