why is the miami game delayed

The Miami game was delayed due to a lightning strike detected near Hard Rock Stadium. The delay occurred early in the second quarter with 13:45 left on the clock. According to NCAA rules, when lightning is detected within a 6 to 10-mile radius of a stadium, play must be suspended and cannot resume until 30 minutes after the last lightning strike. Fans were asked to seek shelter, and the teams left the field. The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms to continue until around 7 p.m. ET, which has extended the delay. When play resumes, the teams will have a 10-minute warm-up before continuing the game.
