The key to winning Pat McAfee‘s “College Gameday” kicking challenge seems to be second chances.
For the second week in a row, a student has won $100K out of McAfee’s pocket and made him regret giving them another shot at a 33-yard field goal attempt on live television.
Kyle Kramer, enrolled at Oregon where “Gameday” was visiting for Saturday’s primetime bout featuring No. 2 Ohio State, hooked the kick wide left on his first attempt for $80K.
Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban was holding the ball instead of the usual Kirk Herbstreit, who departed the show early to head for Dallas, where he’ll be calling the Texas-Oklahoma game.
McAfee, as has become common this season, was convinced to give Kramer another crack at it — this time for $100K.
Kramer then nailed the second attempt, becoming the third contestant this season to win the challenge and a huge check from McAfee.
In Week 6, a Cal student won $100K on his second attempt, and an additional $100K from “Gameday” was pledged to hurricane relief efforts in Florida.
A Texas A&M student won $50K in Week 1 after also earning a second kick from McAfee. The season total of prize money given away is now up to $250K.
