Notre Dame Vs. USF Weather Delay: Second Half About To Start; Tommy Rees Replacing Dayne Crist

After a weather delay of just over two hours, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and South Florida Bulls are out on the field warming up. The second half will start shortly, as fans have been moved back into the stands and the dangerous weather has moved out of the area. Notre Dame's offense moved the ball well in the first half, but they find themselves down by a score of 16-0 thanks to some bad decisions by Dayne Crist, a fumble return for a touchdown, and some bad penalties.

Speaking of Crist, he won't be taking the field in the second half. After a performance that featured flashes of brilliance and ineptitude, Brian Kelly has apparently decided that Crist's bad mistakes were bad enough that he needs to sit down. Tommy Rees will start the second half for the Irish as they attempt to get back into a game that they probably should be winning.
