Kickoff delayed at least 45 minutes in Baton Rouge

Kickoff delayed at least 45 minutes in Baton Rouge

By: Sam Khan Jr., Daniel Shirley, Matt Baker, Chris Vannini, Seth Emerson, Austin Green

Even more good news: There's another storm cell coming after this one, per an announcement in the press box. And it's already at least a 90-minute delay until the all-clear is given. So kickoff is at least not until 7:15 p.m. CT.The deluge has also started inside Tiger Stadium. The weather gods do not approve of LSU right now.
