The baby was wrangled by stadium authorities earlier than reaching the 20-yard line.

Texas Tech University President Lawrence Schovanec was seen petting the marsupial earlier on Friday telling KXAN he’s used to seeing them round his dwelling.
“This will sound kind of weird, but there are a lot of opossums in our neighborhood and I’ve always fed them. I think when the creature is that homely and unattractive someone needs to love it,” he mentioned. “My wife thought it was disgusting and my son said ‘I hope you sanitize your hands.’ I did I wash them.”
The animal’s particular look turned out to be good luck for the Red Raiders who defeated TCU 35 to twenty-eight.
