Animals interrupting sporting events are often times even better than the games themselves.

The crowd went wild during a football game between Kent State University and University of Louisville on Saturday – but it wasn't the players they were rooting for.

A speedy squirrel delayed the game, making his way down the end zone and scoring his first-ever touch down.

OK, not really, but the crowd and the announcers were excited nonetheless.

Although climbing trees and hunting for nuts have prepared him for this very moment, the little guy soon tired of running and plopped down on the field for a quick rest.

Fans expressed their adoration on Twitter for the courageous critter.

Give him the Heisman — Jacob Porter (@Porter__Back__) September 23, 2017
