  "account": "Rain quickly turned Daytona Stadium into a damp battleground during the opening moments of the Alabama State football game against Bethune-Cookman. With just 19 seconds remaining in the first quarter, a weather delay was called as officials paused the action in response to poor weather conditions. The NCAA mandates an immediate game suspension if lightning is detected within an eight-mile radius, requiring a 30-minute waiting period before play can resume. If lightning strikes during this period, the 30-minute clock restarts.\n\nBethune-Cookman had two opportunities to advance into Alabama State's end zone, managing to score twice from within the red zone. The Hornet defense has held the Wildcat offense to only two field goals thus far. However, Alabama State's offensive struggles have been a persistent issue throughout the season. Starting quarterback Andrew Body missed both games this week due to a bone injury in his non-throwing wrist. True freshman Aaron Frye is stepping into his second start, facing a challenging game thus far.\n\nShould play resume, Alabama State will take possession on third-and-nine from their own 25-yard line with 19 seconds left in the first quarter. Predictions for the game include an analysis of Alabama State's chances with Frye as their quarterback.",
