COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Junior tailback Josh Allen's 72-yard swing pass-turned-touchdown against Florida State has been recognized by Pontiac as one of this week's national Game Changing Performances. As one of this week's nominees, Allen's play will be replayed at halftime of ESPN's Thursday night college football game and the university could be given $5,000 toward its general scholarship fund.

Each week, fans can go online, view the nominated plays, and vote for their favorite Game Changing Performance. The play selected by the fans will generate a $5,000 contribution from Pontiac to that school's general scholarship fund.

Additionally, the play becomes eligible for inclusion in voting at the end of the season to determine the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year. The play of the year, selected in fan voting during the month of December, will result in a $100,000 general scholarship fund contribution from Pontiac to the winning NCAA institution.

Nominations are reviewed on ESPN each weekend by on-air talent such as Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, and Kirk Herbstreit, and nominated plays can be voted on Sunday morning through Wednesday at espn.com/pontiac. Each week's winning performance will be announced during the Pontiac High Performance Halftime Report on ESPN Thursday night games.
