why is the clemson game delayed today

The Clemson game today was delayed due to a lightning warning detected within an eight-mile radius of Memorial Stadium. The delay occurred just as the teams were about to return to the field after halftime, and for safety reasons, fans and players were asked to move to safer, covered areas. This weather delay follows NCAA guidelines that require a 30-minute wait after the last sound of thunder or sighting of lightning before resuming play. The game resumed only after the delay was over and it was safe to continue.
