Originally scheduled to kick off at 7:45 p.m. EDT, the game at Kroger Field (capacity 61,000) on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington will now start at 8:15 p.m due to a weather delay.

Another update: Due to lightning, UK says the game will not kick off at 8:15 p.m. The contest’s start is again delayed.

Subsequent update: UK says teams will take the field to warm up at 9:40 p.m. (EDT) with kickoff slated for 10:05.
