A college football game between Colorado School of Mines and Washburn ended in a tie due to extreme heat. The game, which started at 9:05 a.m. CT, had already gone through two schedule changes to accommodate the expected heat, but it wasn't enough to complete the game. The heat index reached 107 degrees during overtime, prompting the stoppage of play. Because it wouldn't drop below the required temperature of 92.1 degrees until evening, the game was called off and ended in a 16-16 tie. Nathan Lewis Jr. scored a crucial 41-yard touchdown for Washburn with minutes left to go, but Colorado School of Mines' kicker Preston Kyle missed a field kick that would have sealed the win. The extreme heat forced the teams to adjust their schedules twice, ultimately resulting in an unfinished game.
