JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) Saturday's Jacksonville-Georgia State game was canceled because of aftereffects from Hurricane Katrina.<br>
<br>
Flooding caused by the storm damaged some of Georgia State's equipment, officials said. The game is not likely to be rescheduled.<br>
<br>
It was the second straight Jacksonville game canceled because of the storm; the team's opener, scheduled for Sept. 1 against Southeastern Louisiana, was also erased by Katrina.<br>
<br>
``Our players are eager to compete against someone other than themselves, but sometimes things are out of our control,'' Jacksonville coach Steve Gilbert said.<br>
<br>
Jacksonville's debut is now set for Sept. 17, at Charleston Southern.<br>
