The bettor placed $1.2 million on Texas moneyline at -127, a wager that appeared doomed when the Longhorns trailed 23-3 entering the fourth quarter. However, Texas scored 21 unanswered points, with Hollywood Smothers scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 25 seconds remaining to secure the improbable victory.
In addition to the seven-figure payout, another bettor turned a $10,000 in-game wager on Texas at +700 into an $80,000 total payout. The weekend also featured a long-shot first touchdown scorer in the Patriots-Seahawks game and a 12-leg college football parlay that went the distance. capturengo.org
