SOUTH BEND, Ind (AP) — Fans were asked to evacuate Notre Dame Stadium at halftime of Saturday’s game against South Florida with lightning flashing near the facility as a storm approached.

Fans were told they could go to buildings near the stadium to seek refuge. Some of the fans remained in their seats. Officials also announced that the teams would remain in their locker rooms until referees decided it was safe for them to return.

South Florida held a 16-0 lead over No. 16 Notre Dame at the half.
