TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Bobby Bowden and the Florida State Seminoles entered Doak Campbell Stadium Saturday night locked arm-in-arm in a sign of solidarity. However, a strong, unified start against Georgia Tech has been slowed by the threat of lightning and severe weather, however. The Seminoles-Yellow Jackets game is in a weather delay tied at 7-7 with 6:50 remaining in the first quarter. Both teams headed into their respective locker rooms after a Tech touchdown and extra point that tied the game. A severe weather alert was issued and a light rain started to fall.
Thunderstorms rolled through Florida's capital earlier Saturday but the weather cleared for the 8 p.m. EST kickoff. The teams traded scores on their opening possessions in a pivotal ACC showdown. Bowden, 79, who is under fire after the Seminoles started his 35th season at the school with a 2-3 record, has said his age is the biggest reason he's being criticized.
The game is expected to resume at 9:45 p.m. EST.
