Sooner Nation already got a reason to celebrate Saturday morning.
Oklahoma freshman student Jack Daugard nailed his 30-yard attempt during Pat McAfee's weekly field goal challenge on ESPN College GameDay. The show was in Norman ahead of the No. 18 Sooners' marquee matchup against No. 15 Michigan at 6:30 p.m. CT Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
McAfee every week during the show gives a student an opportunity to make a 30-yard field goal in the middle of the crowd to win $100,000. However, the last two weeks to start this season, McAfee has upped the amount and set it at $200,000 just before Daugard's kick. McAfee also donated $100,000 to Light Beneath the Well, a charity founded by Michigan linebacker Ernest Hausmann.
According to Daugard, who showed up in his own cleats, his only prior kicking experience was a failed a kickoff attempt during a junior varsity football game in high school, so it was a surprise that sent McAfee, Kirk Herbstreit and Sooner Nation into a frenzy when Daugard's kick went through the uprights with just a few yards to spare.
