Notre Dame vs USC: Weather Delays, Game Updates from South Bend

Notre Dame (4-2) and USC (5-1) battle Saturday night in the latest meeting between old rivals, which may end up being the final between the two as well. The game always brings fireworks, and this year is no different. Except perhaps, instead of fireworks, legit thunderstorms appear to be taking aim at South Bend during the game.

Latest Weather Forecast for Notre Dame vs USC:

As of 3:35 p.m. ET, the AccuWeather forecast calls for thunderstorms to soon be starting in the South Bend area. More thunderstorms are expected in the 7:00 p.m. ET window, with kickoff set for moments after 7:30 Saturday night.

With the thunderstorms portion of the evening expected to be earlier before your basic rainshowers move through the area the rest of the night, could the game actually begin under a delay? That way instead of starting before pausing shortly after, the efforts to warm both teams up aren't for not, and essentially pushed to the side due to nearby lightning.
