The season opener between Florida State and Boise State is expected to be moved from Jacksonville to Tallahassee because of the impending threat of Hurricane Dorian, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday.

Dorian is expected to impact the East Coast of Florida, and DeSantis has already declared a state of emergency. The schools were scheduled to kick off in Jacksonville on Saturday night.

Tallahassee, which is located 160 miles west of Jacksonville, is not expected to feel effects from the storm on Saturday.

"I think they are going to go forward with the game but they are not going to do it in Jacksonville," DeSantis said during a news conference. "hey are going to do the game in Tallahassee and I think they will have more details for everybody who is interested in that going forward."

Two years ago, Florida State postponed a home game against Louisiana-Monroe and rescheduled a game against Miami because of Hurricane Irma.
