Maybe the secret to Mohamed Ibrahim’s impressive speed and success at Minnesota is… Gushers?
The Golden Gophers senior running back opened Minnesota’s Week 9 home game against Rutgers on Saturday with a two-yard touchdown run to get his team on the board first early in the second quarter.
But it wasn’t just another touchdown for Ibrahim. A record-breaking score, it was his 44th career touchdown in his fifth season with Minnesota, and it made the senior the Gophers’ all-time touchdown leader.
Not long after Ibrahim’s score, the Big Ten Network cameras spotlighted him on the sidelines just getting a snack: a packet of Gushers that seem like the best (but maybe also worst) mid-game energy boost.

Gotta love a record-breaking touchdown celebration that includes Gushers because, seriously, who doesn’t want some Gushers? Maybe this will lead to yet another cool NIL deal this season for the Minnesota star.
Break the TD record? Celebrate with some mid-game @gushers. 🤣 pic.twitter.com/yFKgF8C2pZ

Thanks to Ibrahim’s second touchdown, Minnesota had a 14-0 halftime lead over Rutgers.
