Lightning and heavy rain delay the Clemson and LSU football game

Clemson and LSU face an indefinite delay to their scheduled Saturday night matchup at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. A severe storm system brought heavy downpours and multiple lightning cells to the area, forcing officials to push back the 7:30 p.m. ET start time by at least 90 minutes. This game marks the debut for Lane Kiffin as the head coach at LSU. Players must complete a full 90-minute pre-game routine once weather conditions permit safe play, meaning the kickoff remains subject to further change. The game will be broadcast on ABC, though a firm start time has not been established due to the persistent weather in Louisiana. Fans remain in the stadium as crews wait for the storm to clear.
