The USC Trojans might find themselves in another weather delay this season as we have lightning in the area about an hour before Lincoln Riley’s team is supposed to kick off against Notre Dame.

USC had its game earlier this season against Purdue delayed by three hours due to a lightning storm passing through. We’re about an hour from kickoff here, but lightning has already pushed back or canceled some pregame activities.

Game scheduled for on-time kickoff

An announcement was just made that the teams will begin warming up at 6:45 and the game will kick off on time.

People starting to emerge

10/18/2025 05:41:54 PM

With 54 minutes on the countdown to kickoff clock, people are starting to be let into the stands.

Fans not allowed into stadium yet

10/18/2025 05:30:21 PM

Fans are typically allowed into the stadium an hour and a half before kickoff, but at 6 pm, fans were not being let in. It’s not 6:30 and the “shelter in place” message is still on the scoreboards and fans still haven’t been allowed it.
