why is miami game delayed

The Miami game was delayed due to a lightning strike near Hard Rock Stadium. The game suspended with 13:45 left in the second quarter because lightning was detected within an eight-mile radius of the stadium. Per NCAA rules, play must be halted for at least 30 minutes after the last lightning strike in the area before resuming. Fans were advised to seek shelter due to the weather conditions, and the teams had to leave the field. The delay was initially expected to last at least 30 minutes but likely extended as thunderstorms were forecasted to continue until around 7 PM ET. The game resumed after the weather improved, following a warm-up period for both teams.
