Florida State and No. 14 NC State are readying for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff on the ACC Network. Or at least they’re supposed to be. But a lighting issue in Carter-Finley Stadium has delayed the warmups for the two teams about an hour before kickoff.

Multiple videos from the stadium showed malfunctions with the stadium’s LED lighting, while other sections of the stadium lighting were not on as operators tried to fix things.

Check it out below.

Neither team had gotten to the field for warmups in uniforms about an hour before scheduled kickoff.

Florida State, NC State looking to bounce back from first loss

Both Florida State and NC State will be looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season on Saturday night. Florida State dropped a contest against No. 22 Wake Forest last weekend at home, while NC State lost to No. 5 Clemson on the road last weekend.

Both were hard-fought games.

As soon as the lighting issue at Carter-Finley Stadium clears up, the two teams will get ready for a matchup that will carry plenty of weight.

With Clemson cruising right now in the ACC Atlantic, the loser will likely be eliminated from contention with a second conference loss. The Tigers are 3-0 in conference play and will square off against Boston College in a game beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
