The Minnesota football team was idle this past weekend, but that doesn't mean Goldy Gopher was resting up for Big Ten play.
No, Goldy participated in a mascot game at halftime of the Buccaneers-Vikings game Sunday.
The Minnesota mascot took it rather seriously, too, trucking over a young would-be tackler en route to the end zone.
Watch Goldy's scoring run below.
