Penn State vs. West Virginia postponed at halftime due to storms: latest updates
By Josh Yourish
Penn State’s new offense with Andy Kotelnicki and a revived Drew Allar was electric in the first half, leading the Nittany Lions to a 20-6 lead over West Virginia at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown West Virginia. Well, after that first half of play, the sky above Milan Puskar has become electrified as well.

Fans in Milan Puskar are being asked to seek shelter temporarily until the storms pass through Morgantown. Forecasts early in the week indicated that the storms were expected to hit prior to kickoff, but they waited until Penn State took a commanding halftime lead to keep the red-hot Nittany Lions offense off the field for an extended period.
It is still not known when the game will resume.

Penn State and West Virginia resumed play at 4:23 p.m. ET after a lengthy delay.
