HAMPTON, Virginia --  Hampton University Director of Athletics Eugene Marshall, Jr. and athletic officials at the University of Richmond have announced a change in the kickoff time of the football game on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Armstrong Stadium.

Originally scheduled for 6 p.m., the game will now kick off at 12 p.m.

Marshall and Keith Gill, Director of Athletics at Richmond, mutually agreed that an earlier start time would be in the best interest of both parties, with Hampton holding a major event on campus the same evening as the game.

"We want to thank the University of Richmond, the Department of Athletics, Athletic Director Keith Gill and head coach Danny Rocco for accommodating Hampton on this time change," University President Dr. William R. Harvey said.
