I was watching the UF/TN game so I don't know exactly what happened. I am not taking either side in this, just posting the rules.

Nobody argued about the lightning delay.
They tarped the field and that required an additional 30-40 minutes of delay, when the little rain cloud was 10+ miles away and not heade towards the stadium.
