The game was delayed about 2½ hours due to extreme lightning in the area. The stadium was cleared and the game was paused for at 11:11 minutes left in the third quarter until the storm cleared the area. SNU missed an extra point, and gave a safety to ENMU by a high snap that crossed out of the end zone.
