Once again, a college football Saturday is being affected by rain delays.

In Coral Gables, Florida, Lubbock, Texas and West Lafayette, Indiana, games are being pushed back due to lightning in the area. This comes after there were multiple delays, including in Troy-Clemson and Austin Peay-Georgia in Week 2.

We have detected lightning in the vicinity of @HardRockStadium and have gone into a weather delay.

Fans, please seek shelter within the concourses. Thank you.
