Minnesota coach PJ Fleck was, understandably, fired up after his team beat Nebraska Saturday afternoon.
He certainly didn’t hide his feelings, giving a security guard a huge bear hug as he walked out to shake hands after the game. You have to love the energy. Check it out:

The Golden Gophers knocked off the Cornhuskers 23-16 despite not having their top two rushers — Mo Ibrahim and Trey Potts, who both suffered season-ending injuries. Quarterback Tanner Morgan turned in a solid performance, completing 20 of 24 passes for 209 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Considering how close the game was, can you blame Fleck for being so pumped up? It also helps that Minnesota is now 4-2 overall and 2-1 in B1G play. That’s how you come out of a bye week.
Next up for Minnesota: a trip to Maryland next week to take on the Terps. Kickoff for that game is at 2:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
