TULSA — The Oklahoma State football team dressed wisely, going all white here in Tulsa for Saturday's season opener.
While it's 97 degrees in Tulsa, the heat index has reached triple digits. OSU's radio broadcast reported the on-field temperature is 161 degrees at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
I went down on the field for a little bit with our guy Ben Hutchens. We put our hand on the turf and might as well have been touching a stovetop.
I can't imagine what it'd be like running around out there in pads. OSU has several tents set up on their sideline. Tulsa's bench is shaded. The heat is going to be a real factor here today.
