TOUCHDOWN SQUIRREL might’ve outgained Sparty

Squirrel shows solid top-end speed and quickness, would draft.

No. 5 Michigan defeated No. 24 Michigan State 21-7 on Saturday, the Wolverines winning for the second time in a row in East Lansing. It was pretty lopsided — Mark Dantonio’s team was outgained by UM in almost every category.

As the game was ending, a squirrel somehow made its way onto the field and scored this gorgeous touchdown — it was literally untouched by defenders on his way into the end zone:

This squirrel may have almost outgained MSU’s 94 yards from Saturday on this score!

Another angle:

Saturday’s Wolverine victory marks just the second Michigan win over Sparty in six years.

It’s not the first time a squirrel has made a highlight reel during a college football game — in the middle of a Louisville game in 2017, this squirrel had this beautiful touchdown run, and it was even cheered on by announcers on the run:

This Michigan State squirrel definitely showed good speed, agility, and elusiveness on his way to the house — with a few more runs like this season, this squirrel could be looking at a Day 1 selection during the upcoming NFL draft.
