Baylor-TCU Delayed a 3rd Time by Lightning in the Fourth Quarter
Lightning caused three separate delays in the fourth quarter, including a 58-minute pause, due to safety concerns within 8 miles of the stadium, officials said.
- Oct 18, 2025, TCU Horned Frogs and Baylor Bears paused play at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth due to a weather delay caused by nearby lightning.
- Referee Cravonne Barrett announced lightning within 8 miles, while The Weather Channel forecasted thunderstorms until 2:30 p.m. and the National Weather Service issued a warning for Mansfield, Burleson, and Crowley until 2:45 p.m.
- Play was halted multiple times, including a third delay of at least 30 minutes announced by Referee Cravonne Barrett while teams warmed up after a 58-minute pause and Trent Battle's 65-yard touchdown led TCU 35-21 before the first lightning stoppage.
- The muggy, rainy contest featured momentum shifts from both teams that were repeatedly disrupted by weather delays, including one stoppage immediately after Baylor failed on fourth down with 6:42 left.
- TCU's halftime advantage and the game's ground focus framed second-half strategy before weather interruptions resumed, with TCU leading 21-10 after relying on the running game and offensive line.
