Did You See This? Scheelhaase tries to high-five ref

Think Nathan Scheelhaase was excited about his first touchdown run since Week 1? Well, the Illinois quarterback did attempt to high-five an official following his second-quarter run Saturday at Wisconsin. To little surprise the ref wanted no part of the high-five. Scheelhaase had reason to be excited, though, as his scoring scamper gave Illinois its first lead, 7-0, since it struck first in a Week 4′s 52-24 home loss to Louisiana Tech.

Illinois didn’t have much to celebrate the rest of the way Saturday en route to a 31-14 loss at Camp Randall Stadium.

Scheelhaase explained his motive behind the high-five on Twitter:

Q: Why I attempted to hi five the ref? A: I was excited and wanted to share some of the fun, tryin to bring back the good ole #HiFive—
