Beginner Gardening: Is this dead corn?, 0 by TXBBQ

I planted corn directly in my SFG and it took off nicely for quite a while. Then we started getting 100 degrees everyday here in N. Texas. Now, despite frequent watering, this is what has become of my corn plant! I am so frustrated and angry! I can't get ANYTHING to grow properly!!!!!

What should I do? Should I rip it out and try planting something else? Is it too hot for anything to grow? Should I wait for the fall to re-plant?
