ORIGINAL: Due to lightning in the area, kickoff for the 2019 Rocky Mountain Showdown between the Colorado State University football team and the University of Colorado football team has been delayed until 8:30 p.m.
Weather is also wreaking havoc on Friday night's college football broadcast schedule. A lightning delay during the No. 19 Wisconsin vs. South Florida game, ESPN moved its broadcast of the Rocky Mountain Showdown to ESPNews, per CSU.
You can find ESPNews on Comcast/Xfinity's Channel 402, DirecTV's Channel 207 and Dish Network's Channel 142.
Fans should still be able to stream the game at ESPN.com/watch and on the WatchESPN app for smart phones, but only to those with a TV package that includes ESPN. You'll have to log in to your TV provider to access the broadcast.
ESPN will pick up the game at the conclusion of the Wisconsin-USF game.
