WVU-Penn State weather delay

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – WVU will have to wait to attempt their comeback effort against Penn State. Just as both WVU and Penn State headed into their locker rooms for half time, the press box was informed about a weather delay.

With PSU leading 20-6 at the half, word got out around Milan Puskar Stadium that the season opener is being suspended due to severe weather.

Fans inside the stadium have been advised to seek shelter “on the concourse, restrooms, indoor practice facility” or to simply return to their cars.

Those who choose to leave the stadium will be able to re-enter with their game ticket.

This delay comes with Penn State leading 20-6 after one half of play.

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar (8-for-13, 199 yards, three touchdowns) and Harrison Wallace III (five catches, 117 yards, two touchdowns) have been stealing the show offensively, while on defense, Penn State didn’t allow a touchdown in the first half.

West Virginia and Penn State played to a scoreless first quarter, with both teams fumbling on consecutive plays.

On the first play of the second quarter, Allar hit Tre Wallace for a 50-yard touchdown.

Penn State then went for two and didn’t get it, but still led 6-0.

PSU kept it rolling on its next position with a 10-play, 71-yard drive that took 3:45 and ended on a 20-yard pass from Allar to RB Kaytron Allen.

West Virginia finally scored on its next possession, but Penn State limited to damage to a field goal, still holding a 13-3 lead. WVU got three more on its next drive to make it 13-6.

Penn State added another touchdown on the last offensive play of the first half on an 18-yard strike from Allar to Wallace.

West Virginia fans may remember the Mountaineers’ last weather delay like this. It came just last season when Duquesne visited Morgantown.

Penn State will hope for a better result but for now, we wonder when the game will resume.
