Well it's looking more and more like weather is going to be an issue tonight in Lincoln. NWS SPC has upgraded the area to the Slight risk for severe storms. Potential includes rain (up to 2 inches), hail ( up to 2 inches in diameter), winds (up to 60 mph), even some isolated tornadoes.

Severe weather should move into the Lincoln area around 8:00 PM, and Omaha around 9:00 PM.
 
Side note here any lightning strike within 8 miles of the stadium will cause a delay for thirty minutes. Any lightning strike after that and the 30 minute delay clock starts over. This could be a long night in Lincoln.

And I agree I wish this game were a 2:30 PM start.

So how do delayed starts and or delays during game work? At what point do they cancel the game?

also found this on an SEC board, but not sure it is the same for the B1G

Suspending the Game ARTICLE 3. a. The referee may suspend the game temporarily when conditions warrant such action. b. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall: 1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas. 2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game’s management. 3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory. c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, there are four possible options: 1. Resume the game at a later date; 2. Terminate the game with a determined final score; 3. Forfeit of the game; or 4. Declare a no contest. The option that takes effect shall be determined by conference policy if both institutions are members of the same conference. In non-conference competition, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, must agree on one of the four options. This agreement will include the final score if the game is terminated (Rule 8-1-2). d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.) e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility.

So there's a chance we could be winning by 31pts at halftime but the game results in a tie!
 
Frost can't catch a break with the weather. Hurricanes in Florida last year, now this.
