During Minnesota’s 20–14 upset win over Michigan in the 100th battle for the Little Brown Jug, a bizarre celebration went viral when a Golden Gophers offensive lineman accidentally kicked his own quarterback in the groin.
The incident took place late in the game after a crucial play. An over-enthusiastic Minnesota lineman, celebrating the moment, lost track of his surroundings and kicked out in jubilation, catching the quarterback directly between the legs. The quarterback went down and had to take a moment doubled over in pain before shaking it off and returning to help close out the upset.
Minnesota rallied after trailing 14–7 at halftime, shutting out Michigan 13–0 in the second half to secure their first home victory over the Wolverines in nearly five decades. Following the final whistle, fans stormed Huntington Bank Stadium as head coach P.J. Fleck called the win one of the best days of his life.
