Time is nothing, but timing is everything. As the old phrase goes, a plethora of football fans this weekend would disagree with that sentiment. A swath of games around the nation were delayed and, in some cases, cancelled altogether. Marshall’s game in Oxford, Ohio fell into the delayed category.
Various storm systems throughout the United States had enormous impact on the scheduled games. The Thundering Herd’s game, originally scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff, faced a 2 1/2-hour delay, and did not begin until 6 p.m. After the delay, the red and green-colored crowd saw evening weather with no rain, mild temperatures and portions of cloud cover overhead.
