LOOK: Chunk of metal flies off Tennessee scoreboard, apparently hits LSU fan

It is, uh, quite windy in Knoxville right now, to say the least. But the LSU Tigers and Tennessee Volunteers are still supposed to play a game at Neyland Stadium.
However, the Tennessee goalposts have already been bent by the wind, and apparently a giant piece of the scoreboard has also been torn away by the wind.
As you can see in the video and photo below, a seemingly 6-foot by 2-foot piece of the metal scoreboard came free and blew into an LSU fan:

Huge piece of metal (about 6 foot by 2 foot) just got blown off the Tennessee scoreboard and landed in the #LSU section missing 2 guys by inches. High winds here. Crazy. #GeauxTigers#LSUvsTENN pic.twitter.com/ErRcmq9630

That situation could lead to some legal issues for the Vols, but for now, their only concern is making sure Saturday night’s game can be played.
A loss in Saturday night’s contest means the Vols won’t qualify for a bowl game this year. But in interim coach Brady Hoke’s first game, perhaps the Vols will come out with the same fury that the wind has so far tonight.
