The Federal Aviation Administration lifted the nationwide ground stop just after 7:30 p.m. CT on Friday. It ended a nearly five-hour long stoppage to all air travel, including charter flights for college football teams to their Week 11 game sites.

LSU football is slated to host Texas on Saturday with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. There have been no announcements related to the Longhorns' plans to get to Baton Rouge nor an adjusted game time for Saturday.

Texas deplaned and returned to campus for a meal, walk-through and additional meetings, per a report released by CJ Vogel of OnTexasFootball.com at 4:41 p.m. CT. The report also stated that Texas plans to fly tonight but the timeline remains in question.
