Florida State-SMU football game gets unexpected delay
Florida State’s ACC matchup against SMU was delayed Monday night after a power outage struck Doak Campbell Stadium just before kickoff.
In a surprising turn of events, a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida threatened to halt the highly anticipated Florida State Seminoles vs. SMU Mustangs college football game. The ACC matchup, which could have significant implications for the league's standings, was set to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, but was abruptly delayed due to the issue.
The stadium lights and press box were affected, prompting officials to send the teams back to their locker rooms as they waited for the problem to be resolved. Despite the setback, which occurred mere moments before tip-off, the Seminoles and Mustangs ultimately found a way to get the game underway once the lights came back on. Florida State, coming off a Week 0 win against New Mexico State, entered the contest with a 1-0 record, while SMU, ranked No. 19 nationally, was making its inaugural appearance in Tallahassee hoping to bolster its postseason hopes.
