Weather has caused problems across the SEC on Saturday, as Texas A&M had a lightning delay during its win over Sam Houston, and now Mississippi State is dealing with a similar delay against Memphis.
The Bulldogs’ game was delayed with 5:17 left in the first quarter, as teams went to the locker room after lightning was detected within 5 miles of the stadium.
Before the delay, MSU went up 7-0 thanks to 3 receptions, 42 yards and a touchdown for Rara Thomas on the opening drive of the 2022 season.
Earlier in the game, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys was honored on the field and the Davis Wade Stadium went wild to see him.
