Did anyone win the Pat McAfee field goal challenge in Week 7 at Eugene, OR?
By Sam Fariss
Pat McAfee made another trip out west with the ESPN College GameDay crew as they flocked to Eugene for the No. 3 Oregon versus No. 2 Ohio State matchup. As always, McAfee hosted his weekly kicking challenge.
After picking a student out of the crowd, Kyle Kramer, McAfee had the young Duck line up to take his first kick attempt.
Before the kick took place, Kramer held up a sign that said, "Hey Pat, kicking is as easy as picking the Ducks to win."
His first attempt was for $80,000 and Kramer was in head-to-toe Nike, sporting a Ducks jersey, and an Oregon hat. He sent the ball flying and it had the distance but it was just to the left.
However, with Nick Saban as the holder, McAfee decided that Kramer deserved another shot and this time it was for $100,000
Kramer booted it once again and it went through the uprights. Just like that, Kramer was $100,000 richer and the Duck crowd was roaring.
McAfee, once again, was shelling out six figures to a college student who successfully kicked a field goal. Rece Davis said it simply, "Pat's gonna run out of money!"
The early morning in Eugene was full of signs, mascots, and flying field goals. The game, which is scheduled to kick off nearly 12 hours later, is the first-ever top-three matchup at Autzen Stadium.
The No. 3 Oregon Ducks and the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are set to play at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
