Last night in a Thursday night edition of college football, the TCU Horned Frogs traveled to Lubbock to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

And apparently, they brought a little backup with them.

Following the first quarter of the game, an opossum ran onto the field at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Video of the little guy being dragged off quickly went viral on social media.

Texas Tech University president Lawrence Schovanec even took the time to greet the opossum.

However the opossum ended up on the field, it was good luck for the Red Raiders who defeated TCU 35-28.
