Michigan didn't take long to jump out to a lead against Minnesota on Saturday.
Just two plays into the game, Wolverines cornerback Will Johnson picked off Golden Gophers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis and returned it 35 yards to the house.

Turnover celebrations have become common across college football, with teams each putting their own unique spin on the move. There are turnover chains, turnover thrones and plenty more.
Still, by getting their coach in on the action, especially with four full quarters left to play in the game, it feels like Michigan broke new ground on Saturday night.
