The game was played in Frisco, Texas, and postponed halfway during that time quarter due to lightning. Rainstorms pelted the Dallas-Fort Worth metro region all Sunday and furthermore postponed the PGA Tour occasion in McKinney. The protracted lightning postpone drove authorities to establish three-minute halftime once the game was continued.
Downpour unleashed destruction before the lightning delay. The tricky conditions prompted a few miscues that included bobbled snaps, bungles, and an awful hang on a field objective endeavor. While the downpour halted once the game continued, the field was as yet saturated from the precipitation that had pelted the field the vast majority of the day.
Sam Houston State completes the season at 10-0 while South Dakota State closes the season at 8-2. The FCS season was formally deferred to the spring late in the late spring in light of the Covid pandemic, however, a few groups actually chose to mess around in the fall.
