why is clemson game delayed

The Clemson game was delayed due to lightning detected within 8 to 15 miles of Memorial Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina. The delay happened around halftime, and players and fans were instructed to seek shelter for safety. The game resumed after more than an hour once the lightning threat was cleared, following safety protocols that require waiting at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike before resuming play. This weather-related delay is common for outdoor sports to ensure player and fan safety during thunderstorms.
