Thunderstorms delay Oklahoma State football kickoff against Oregon

Oklahoma State and Oregon faced a pregame delay at Boone Pickens Stadium following a weather alert issued at 9:45 a.m. local time. The announcement appeared on the stadium video board shortly before the scheduled 11 a.m. kickoff. Players warming up on the field were instructed to return to their locker rooms, and spectators in open-air seating were directed to move under the stadium structure for safety. NCAA protocols dictate a minimum 30-minute suspension of activity if lightning is detected within six miles of the venue. The 30-minute clock resets following the final flash of lightning or sound of thunder within that range. Officials have not provided a new start time for the game as they continue to monitor conditions in the area.
