The game was hit with a lightning delay with 8:25 left in the second quarter. The delay lasted from 2:05 p.m. CT to 3:20 p.m.

Right out of the delay, SDSU drove into field goal range, but Cole Frahm’s 43-yard FG attempt was low and no good.

SHSU responded with a 9-play, 74-yard drive ending with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Eric Schmid to Ezzard with 1:21 left before halftime.
