Update, 2:18 p.m. ET: The game is scheduled to restart at 2:35 p.m. ET.

Update, 1:45 p.m. ET: The scoreboard in Carter-Finley Stadium has been struck by lightning and is malfunctioning. Per the ESPN broadcast, the game will not be postponed unless it is delayed past midnight on Saturday,.

With 14:45 left in the second quarter, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and NC State Wolfpack headed back to the locker rooms to wait out a weather delay. With lightning striking within 10 miles of Carter-Finley Stadium, the fans and players were asked to find the nearest exit to take shelter.

Notre Dame leads 3-0, and will take over the ball at their 20-yard line after a touchback when play resumes. The Irish closed as a 7-point favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook.

Both teams will be given a period to warm-up once the storm passes, but we’ll keep it updated here as we learn about timing of when the game will restart. The Vanderbilt-Wake Forest game in Winston-Salem, North Carolina is also delayed.
