Michigan State football is in a weather delay vs Indiana as storms roll through.
BLOOMINGTON, IN – Michigan State football’s game at No. 3 Indiana is in a weather delay.
Storms hit Memorial Stadium around 5:05 p.m. ET, after the game started at 3:30 p.m. with windy and warm conditions. The call to delay the game was made as teams were in the locker room for halftime. Indiana leads Michigan State, 21-10.
Rain and lightning is expected to continue throughout the night in the southern Indiana area. Teams must not return to the field until 30 minutes after the last lightning strike within an 8-10-mile radius, per NCAA safety rules.
Every strike resets the clock.
Indiana's kickers were on the field with a little less than 10 minutes before the expected second-half kickoff when the delay was issued. As fans headed from the stands toward their cars, per IU's announcement, the skies opened up and rain began coming down heavy.
