Watch: Michigan Kicker Directs Crotch Grab at South Carolina Sideline

Michigan's kicker may have scored all of the Wolverines points in the Outback Bowl's first half, but his celebrating was a little premature.

Michigan's kicker may have scored all of the Wolverines points in the Outback Bowl's first half, but his celebrating was a little premature. 

The Wolverines were up 6–3 against South Carolina with seconds left in the first half, when kicker Qunn Nordin nailed a 45-yarder to put Michigan up 9–3 at the half. 

However, Nordin was pretty pleased with himself, grabbing his crotch and gesturing to the Gamecocks sideline.

But Nordin was a little too soon with the celebration and South Carolina may have been a little annoyed.

Nordin later apologized on Twitter. 

In the heat of today’s game, I let my emotions get the best of me. I made an inappropriate gesture and for that I apologize. I will grow and learn from this and will work on conducting myself in a more mindful manner.
