Lightning has delayed the start of No. 10 Alabama’s game against Florida State, forcing officials to clear the field about an hour before kickoff
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Lightning in the area delayed the start of No. 10 Alabama’s game against Florida State on Saturday, forcing officials to clear the field about an hour before kickoff.
Alabama announced the lightning delay as scattered showers moved through the area, putting the matchup on hold during warmups.
Despite the delay, Alabama’s student section found ways to stay active. Crimson Tide students broke into Florida State’s war chant while being pelted with rain, and when Florida State trainers walked onto the playing surface to take down the Seminoles’ medical tent, they greeted them with boos.
The weather interrupted preparations for a rematch of last season’s opener, which Florida State won 31-17.
