Not quite the same, but ....
ATHENS, Ga. -- The best call of the day seemed to be to call off the game in the fourth quarter.

With one lightning delay, a near-empty stadium, and No. 9 Georgia holding a big lead in Saturday's season-opener, school and game officials ended the game with 9:54 left, leaving the Bulldogs with a 51-14 victory over out-manned Louisiana-Monroe.

"I think this is the first time I've been involved in one that got terminated at this point," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "We had one delay, then another, and it could've gone all day and all night, so it was in the best interest of everyone to terminate it when we did."

A few minutes after the Bulldogs scored their final touchdown, Richt, ULM coach Todd Berry and athletic directors from each school met on the field after play was halted due to more lightning in the vicinity.

There was a 76-minute delay in the third quarter, and most of the fans at Sanford Stadium had left by the time play resumed.

BGSU Tennessee game is also in a lightning delay. Mother nature doesn't like football this year.

Too bad UT didn't come out and dominate Stony Brook. I bet if it was like 28-0 or 35-0, something like that, Stony Brook would have agreed that it was a UT win. But since it was only a 9 point game, they didn't want to declare it a loss.
