^[a] Hours before kickoff on November 19 against Buffalo, the officials postponed the game due to the inclement weather that dropped four feet of lake effect snow in the Buffalo, New York region.[2] Game officials had soon reschedule the match up two days later at a new time, 1:00 p.m.[3] Later it was announced that the two schools cancelled the game and would not reschedule.[4]
