But in an embarrassing blunder, fireworks were set off at the facility as the ball sailed past the uprights.
A number of college football fans had fun at Minnesota’s expense after a video of the fireworks went viral.
“Man, that’s brutal,” one fan said.
“You would think they would wait a little,” another fan noted.
“They’re just happy someone won the game. Those Minnesotans are so friendly!” a third fan joked.
It was a poor evening for Minnesota, who had star running back Darius Taylor ruled out pregame with a leg injury.
And it was even worse display for kicker Kesich, who also missed a 27-yard field goal early in the game.
