If you’re on the University of Arizona campus Saturday afternoon for the annual Spring Game, you’ll potentially have the chance to win some serious cash prizes during the football scrimmage.

The football program will award one lucky fan $500 from a pool of 10 contestants, if he or she is able to split the uprights from 50 yards out.

But, it gets better.

The Wildcats are offering another cash prize of $250 if a contestant manages to out-throw any of the program’s quarterbacks — be it Nick Isham, Jerrard Randall, Jesse Scroggins, Anu Solomon or Khari McGee.

And last but not least, you can still be a winner and not take home any money. Head coach Rich Rodriguez will elect one patron from the stands to call a play during the game.

The contests are opened to all fans, though age and NCAA restrictions may apply.

Gates 1 and 2 at Arizona Stadium will open at 11:00 a.m. MST.
