An emoji, two hashtags and 'WATCH' lift CBS Sports' short

Couldn’t believe it 🤯 #collegefootball #cfb
CBS Sports College Football usually gives a new video a modest first day. Its latest short passed nearly 90,000 views within a day of going up, moving far faster than a typical debut on the channel.
What it actually shows is hard to tell from the outside. The title reads "Couldn't believe it 🤯" and adds two hashtags. The description is a single word, "WATCH." There is no team, no player and no score, only the promise of something surprising.
It arrives right after the channel's previous standout, the clip of Jon Sumrall saying "It's coming" about Florida. The channel as a whole is also having a much busier day than usual, well above its normal daily pace. On a page that usually leads with coaches and games, this time the reaction is carrying the video almost by itself.
