College GameDay went absolutely wild in Knoxville today, and it wasn’t just about the massive No. 1 Texas versus No. 14 Tennessee showdown. Before the Longhorns and Vols even hit the field, head coach Josh Heupel stepped up for a $100,000 charity throw inside Neyland Stadium, and man, did he deliver.
Heupel Hits the Crossbar, Fires Up the Crew
Imagine this: Heupel stands on the 15-yard line, needing to hit the crossbar from 25 yards out. That’s not some easy lob, but the dude made it look like a warm-up toss. Heupel nailed the throw with absolute ease, sending $100,000 straight to charity. You just gotta love seeing that kind of clutch performance off the field, right? The entire College GameDay crew, especially Pat McAfee, absolutely lost it. Heupel even threw in a quick celebration, soaking up the moment before the real gridiron battle began. What a start to the day!
Massive Upset Potential for the Vols
This wasn’t just some feel-good moment, though. This game between No. 1 Texas and No. 14 Tennessee is a massive, massive showdown. Texas is looking to hold onto that top spot and show everyone they’re the team to beat. But for Tennessee? This is a prime chance for a major upset early in the season. The Vols have a tough history against AP No. 1 teams, with a 2-16 record. A win here wouldn’t just be big; it would be their first victory over an AP No. 1 team since way back in 1985. Talk about something to prove!
Catch all the action with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit on the call, kicking off at noon ET on ABC. You won’t want to miss if Tennessee can pull off the upset after Heupel’s perfect charity toss!
