BOULDER — One of the biggest Colorado football games in years was delayed twice Saturday night by lightning storms in the area.
Colorado and Oregon players in their warm-up drills were sent back to their locker rooms both times, and fans were urged to seek shelter. The game finally began at 9:08 p.m., the latest start ever for a game at Folsom Field. Previously the latest start was a 2007 loss to Florida State (8:15 p.m.), but that delay was strictly because of television.
Saturday's game was originally scheduled to begin at 8:07 p.m. to accomodate ESPN.
