Alabama vs. Florida State Football Game Delayed Multiple Times Due to LightningPreviousNext

The Alabama Crimson Tide's football game against Florida State at Bryant-Denny Stadium faced multiple delays due to lightning detected within eight miles of the stadium. Initially scheduled for 3:30 pm ET, the game was postponed several times, with pregame warmups delayed until at least 4:15 pm ET. After nearly two hours, the game began at 5:15 pm ET but was paused again late in the first quarter due to renewed lightning, leading to a weather stoppage with Alabama trailing 21-13. The University of Alabama announced there would be no halftime break.
