Purdue is currently up 7-0 after driving down the field on its opening possession. At the time of the delay, it was facing third and seven from its own side of the field.
Right now, there’s no timeframe for when the game will resume. There’s a lot of heavy rain and lightning still in the area.
Stay tuned for more updates on this situation.
