Clemson's Game Delayed Again by Lightning | Columbia News

Clemson’s game against Georgia Southern was halted Saturday night by lightning, with kickoff pushed back from 7:35 PM to a much later time—no exact resumption date given. Safety protocols triggered an automatic 30-minute delay followed by an hour for warmups after storms were detected within eight miles. Fans were urged to evacuate the stands and seek shelter in designated campus locations like Littlejohn Coliseum or Fike Recreation Center. This marks the second consecutive week Clemson’s opener has been delayed by weather—their season opener against LSU also suffered a nearly two-hour postponement. Weather disruptions aren’t new at Memorial Stadium, with similar delays recorded in 1963, 1993, 2009, and 2021—proof that playing football in the elements sometimes means waiting out the storm.
