6:02 p.m. is the new restart time for Alabama vs. Florida State after a second lightning delay stopped play with 2:36 left in the first half and FSU leading 21-13.
Lightning within 8 miles of Bryant-Denny Stadium triggered the latest 30-minute stoppage at 5:28 p.m.; under NCAA policy, the clock resets with each new strike.
The game had already faced repeated pregame delays, with warmups paused several times before kickoff was finally pushed to 4:15 p.m.
Teams are due back on the field at 5:57 p.m., and officials plan to skip halftime and use only a two-minute break between the second and third quarters.
