Game Halted: Weather Wreaks Havoc on Cincinnati vs. TCU Showdown

Lightning Delay Halts Match in First Quarter

A football game between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the TCU Horned Frogs took an unexpected turn at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas. The match was abruptly paused due to a lightning delay in the first quarter, with just under eight minutes left on the clock. At that point, TCU was ahead with a score of 7-0.

The Delay Begins

The delay started after a punt by Cincinnati's Max Fletcher. Lightning was seen nearby, prompting both teams to head to their locker rooms. Fans were asked to leave the stadium for safety reasons, though some chose to stay.

The game had begun under clear skies and a pleasant temperature of 68 degrees. However, conditions quickly worsened as a thunderstorm rolled in.

TCU's Early Lead

TCU had taken the lead earlier in the game. They scored a touchdown after Cincinnati failed to convert a fourth-down attempt, giving TCU a short field to work with. The touchdown was the result of a pass from Josh Hoover to Joseph Manjack IV.

Weather Woes Continue

The weather delay has caused some issues. Initially, it was just about lightning, but soon, the sky opened up, and the rain poured down. Every time lightning strikes, the delay is extended by another 30 minutes, meaning the game might not resume anytime soon.

Fans and players alike are left waiting, hoping for the weather to clear so the game can continue.
