Just about anything that could go wrong for the Notre Dame football team has gone wrong so far this year. They're 0-2 on the season but have only lost by a combined total of four points against two Top 25 teams. Now Mother Nature herself might be stepping in to delay the Irish getting their first win of the season.
ND kicks off against the Boilermakers at 2:30 p.m. and while most people think the Irish are going to win and win big. However, some weather in the area likely won't cancel the game, but it could mean that it's going to go longer than most people are happy about.
The Notre Dame football game is in danger at least a little bit, due to rainstorms coming through the South Bend area. While the most recent reports don't believe that there will be extreme weather, there is a chance that there will be lightning. And if that happens, the game will need to be delayed.
Notre Dame football game could be delayed due to lightning
Because of the situation, football games need to stop for at least half an hour every time there is a lightning strike around the stadium. The game cannot restart until the lightning has stopped entirely.
All of this means that the Notre Dame football team will get its game in. It's likely going to be a big win over the Purdue Boilermakers. However, fans who have waited longer than they thought to see that first victory might be forced to wait longer than expected on Saturday.
