It would not be the start of a college football season without some weather delays. Penn State has not experienced too many weather delays over the years but the season opener at West Virginia has been paused for an extended halftime as a result of storms moving through the region.
While the teams were in their respective locker rooms getting ready for the start of the second half of their season opener, West Virginia announced the game was put in a weather delay. Fans were asked to evacuate the stadium and seek shelter while the game took an extended break from the action.
🌩️ WEATHER DELAY
The game is suspended due to lightning in the area of the stadium.
Additional updates will be made when available.

Bad weather was a possibility, but this storm seemingly crept up on the game pretty quickly during halftime,
The last time Penn State was in a weather delay was in 2017. That was a game Penn State fans would like to forget as Penn State was upset by Michigan State following a delay of three hours and 22 minutes. That was also a noon kickoff and did not end until 7:03 p.m.
