Overview
- During Minnesota’s 20-14 upset of Michigan, offensive lineman Bennett Warren performed a celebratory leg kick after a first down that struck quarterback Drake Lindsey in the groin.
- Drake Lindsey showed only a mild reaction and was not reported seriously injured, and he later threw a 3-yard fourth-quarter touchdown to Darius Taylor that proved to be the game-winner.
- The win left Minnesota 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Big Ten play while thousands of fans stormed Huntington Bank Stadium to reclaim the Little Brown Jug.
- Coverage of the kick linked the episode to a recent blood-smearing celebration by the program and focused on whether Minnesota needs clearer rules or discipline for on-field celebrations.
- There have been no public reports of injury, fines, or team discipline tied to the kick, and attention will turn to whether the staff reviews celebration policies before the Gophers’ next game at Purdue.
