South Carolina and UGA have had some hot ones in the past early on in the season. I remember the 2010 game against them in Columbia was unbearably hot at a 12:00 kickoff.

Hottest game I remember attending off the top of my head was 2016 Nicholls State, in which Georgia eeked out a 26-24 victory. It looked like UGA wilted in the heat of our own stadium.
I don’t remember how hot it actually was that day, and it’s possible that I only remember the heat because of how poorly the game went.
ETA: Evidently, it only got up to 92 that day, which isn’t that hot at all as far as early September in Georgia goes. I guess the heat got inflated in my memory because the game itself also annoyed me.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. Hydration is a major part of every program now.
Now, can it tire out a player who isn't used to it? Sure. But the good players will typically play well despite the weather. Utah has a bunch of them

one of the largest crowd roars was collectively both fan bases cheering the lone cloud in the sky that covered the sun for about 3 minutes 2Q.
the only other 'recent' game that was close was the season opener vs UNC/Thursday 6pm kickoff that ended up delayed after halftime due to lightening/thunderstorms.

That stadium felt like watching a game on the surface of the sun. I remember it raining for a bit at halftime, stopping, and then getting steamy in Williams-Brice for a bit in the third quarter. I don't know if I've ever sweated as much in my life as I did that day.
