While the start of football games had been previously delayed due to inclement weather (most notably snow), the first game to be interrupted by weather was the 7:00 p.m., September 11, 2010, game (carried on ESPN2) against the University of Oregon Ducks. A severe thunderstorm with lightning in the area caused a 70-minute game delay during the game. Players left the field and fans were advised to take shelter in Thompson-Boling Arena and return to the stadium when play could be resumed. The Ducks, in the first match-up with the VOLS, won 48-13.
