Michigan punter Brad Robbins goes viral for handlebar mustache

Michigan Wolverines punter Brad Robbins went viral during Saturday's game against Colorado State when he took off his helmet to display his handlebar mustache.

Robbins only had to punt twice in the game, both in the first half, as Michigan blew out Colorado State 51-7. However, he also serves as holder for PATs, and ESPN cameras captured Robbins with his helmet off as Michigan scored in the final minure of the first half to extend their lead to 23-0. Naturally, the cameras couldn't get enough.

It would seem that Robbins may be taking inspiration from MLB pitching legend Rollie Fingers. He seems to enjoy experimenting with his look, as last year he sported a full beard:

To put the icing on the cake, here are side-by-side images comparing his current look to his look as a freshman:

For the game, Robbins averaged 47 yards per punt, including a 51-yarder, but all everyone will remember about this game is his mustache.
