ESPN hasn't gotten over BYU's miraculous win over Nebraska on Saturday, Cougar freshman quarterback Tanner Mangum, who threw the Hail Mary pass that beat the Cornhuskers, will be featured on Tuesday night's editions of ESPN SportsCenter as the "SC Campus Hero" for Week 1 of the college football season.

According to ESPN, the feature will debut in the 4 p.m. MDT edition of "SportsCenter" (on ESPN2) and will be repeated in other editions of the program throughout the evening.

ESPN reporter Jeannine Edwards traveled to BYU's campus to take a look at a day in the life of Mangum, who is celebrating his 22nd birthday today.
