FISHERS, Ind. — Pat McAfee hosted his "Kicking is Easy" challenge at the University of Georgia Saturday — and it produced not one winner but two!
For those who aren't familiar with McAfee's challenge, the first 300 people who arrive at College GameDay have an opportunity to get a raffle ticket that is randomly drawn. The lucky person chosen gets to kick a 33-yard field goal in hopes of winning a whopping $100,000.
However, this time was a first.
Belle Sessions was the winner of the raffle, but she told McAfee that she wouldn't be able to kick the ball. So, she talked to Henry Silver, of Fishers, Indiana, who was standing next to her, and he said he'd be able to do it.
Sessions then said if he made the goal, they would split the money.
Right before Silver kicked, McAfee upped the anty.
McAfee announced that Silver and Sessions would walk away with $800,000, with each of them getting $200,000 and $400,000 going to hurricane relief.
"What I want to let you know is you're not getting a second opportunity," McAfee told Silver. "I don't care if this entire place starts chanting for a second kick."
And with thousands of eyes on him, Silver scored, and the crowd went absolutely ballistic.
McAfee celebrated and hugged Silver after he made the kick before hugging Sessions. The crowd chanted for Silver as McAfee congratulated them both.
"College GameDay is the greatest. College football is amazing," McAfee said. "Belle, you just won $200,000, you're a genius."
University of Georgia plays Tennessee at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16.
