The LSU football game against Clemson in Baton Rouge faced a delay of more than two hours due to severe weather conditions. This postponement marked the latest kickoff in the history of the LSU program. The contest serves as the debut for new LSU head coach Lane Kiffin. Before the delay, the lead-up to the game involved a dispute regarding the roster eligibility of Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. While a court order initially allowed the former NFL players to participate, LSU chose not to activate them following a contract breach complaint from Clemson. The game was rescheduled for a 9:40 p.m. ET start time on ABC.
