The sun beat down as the Jackson State football team played another afternoon in the heat.
Saturday afternoon, JSU took on Mississippi Valley State University at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
"It's a hot game, y'all. It's hot outside," said Jackson State University fan Jakeem King.
The American Medical Response team responded to at least 40 individuals who needed assistance with heat-related illnesses last week.
Jackson State University took precautions this week in response, including providing free water in the tailgate area.
Fans reported, overall, that it seemed there were fewer heat-related illnesses during this game.
"I've seen more people hydrated, but I've also seen people pass out today, so I recommend if you come out here drink a whole lot of water and bring some more with you," King said.
