Overview

• Play was suspended with 1:31 left in the second quarter after lightning was detected within 10 miles, and the stadium was cleared.
• Notre Dame announced the weather delay would count as halftime, with only a routine quarter change between the second and third periods once play resumes.
• Under NCAA lightning rules, a 30-minute clock restarts with each nearby strike, and teams receive a warm-up before play continues.
• The delay began at 5:06 p.m., and NBC reported teams hoped to return to the field around 6:15 p.m. with play resuming roughly 15 minutes later.
• Purdue trailed 28-13 but had the ball second-and-10 at Notre Dame’s 19 after a CJ Carr strip-sack when play stopped, marking the Boilermakers’ second straight week of a major weather delay and the third in three years.
