Overview
- Texas A&M freshman Austin Roberts was selected for the on-air challenge and narrowly missed his attempts.
- The kick came from 33 yards through the Kyle Field uprights before a crowd topping 100,000 and a national TV audience.
- McAfee allowed multiple tries and lifted the potential payout to $1.5 million after Roberts pledged to donate most of any winnings.
- Roberts told reporters he planned to give $900,000 of a $1,000,000 prize to his fraternity’s philanthropy.
- McAfee twice suggested it could be the final installment of the kicking contest, with some coverage noting a sponsor could keep the segment going.
