A University of Tennessee football fan hit the jackpot Saturday on ESPN College GameDay, winning $1 million for himself and $500,000 for the Pat Summitt Foundation, with legendary help from Peyton Manning.
Manning’s Joke Spawns Second Kick
During Pat McAfee’s weekly field goal contest, the fan initially missed his first attempt. Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning jumped in, joking that College GameDay analyst Nick Saban’s special teams were “offsides” on the play, and lobbying hard for a second try.
$1.5 Million Kick Benefits Charity
That second chance was golden! The fan nailed the kick, securing his $1 million and the $500,000 for the Pat Summitt Foundation, honoring the legendary, late University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt.
What an unforgettable GameDay moment: huge money for a fan and an amazing charity, all thanks to a Hall of Famer’s perfect humor and a crucial second shot.
