Police prepare for Battle of I-75 game

Posted: Updated:

The Falcons take flight north on I-75 this weekend.  They're headed to the Glass Bowl for the big game, The Battle of I-75.  Police are already on high alert preparing for the day.

The big game draws thousands of fans from both campuses.  Police say they're sending more officers on the streets and around campus to keep students safe.

"If you're underage and you're drinking, you're violating the law," says Jeff Newton, UT Police Chief. "You're subject to arrest or citation. We'll be looking for those violations for sure.

The game is earlier this year and that means officers expect an even larger crowd.  Kick-off is at 7 P.M. on Saturday.
