  "summary": "The highly-anticipated Atlantic Coast Conference opener between No. 19 SMU and Florida State was abruptly halted on Monday night due to a power outage at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. As the game was set to kick off with a countdown clock and stadium lights, a sudden blackout left players and coaches stranded on the sidelines, creating a surreal scene amidst the setting sun. Despite the unexpected delay, both the Seminoles and Mustangs eventually returned to their locker rooms, but the cause of the outage remains undisclosed at this time.",
