Lane Kiffin's Debut at LSU Delayed by Lightning as Tigers Move Ahead without NFL Signees
Safety protocols requiring an eight-mile lightning perimeter and 30-minute all-clear window kept teams from the field during severe thunderstorms.
- On Saturday, the Clemson-LSU game at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge faced an official delay due to lightning strikes in the area, postponing the originally scheduled kickoff.
- Severe thunderstorms prompted the postponement, as safety regulations prohibit teams from taking the field if lightning strikes within an eight-mile radius, requiring a 30-minute wait after the last strike.
- While the field remained empty, the student section at Tiger Stadium maintained energy by cheering in the rain, with stadium officials playing music like "Purple Rain" to keep spirits high.
- Neither the LSU Tigers, coached by Lane Kiffin, nor the Clemson Tigers, led by Dabo Swinney, have taken the field for warmups, leaving the official start time currently unclear.
- Officials continue to monitor the weather, as a 90-minute clock must initiate before the game can safely resume, forcing fans to await the Lane Kiffin era debut at LSU.
