Penn State and Pitt’s 100th all-time meeting will just have to wait a little longer to get started this afternoon. A lightning delay has forced the start time for the game to be moved back roughly 40 minutes, as long as additional lightning doesn’t restart the wait time.
This afternoon’s noon kickoff against the Pitt Panthers has been pushed back to an estimated start of 12:40 p.m. as lightning forced the teams to leave the field during warm-ups. Fans inside Beaver Stadium were asked to leave their seats and seek shelter, while fans tailgating outside or making their way into the stadium were asked to find shelter before entering the stadium.
Kickoff is now set for 12:40 p.m.#H2P pic.twitter.com/zs9P8QPDRI

And there could be more on the way once the game eventually does begin. So get some snacks ready. It could be a long day.
Hate to be a downer, but forecasts are for thunderstorm coming through here in the 3 p.m. hour.

Penn State has won the last two meetings in this recent four-year revival of the in-state series. There is no additional game scheduled at this time between the two schools after today.
