This is what college football is all about. First win in Minneapolis since 1977. The rushing the field, the coach saying it's the best day of his life - you love to see it.
Unfortunately according to a Stanford study and even the NFL's own study, guardian caps don't reduce concussion or head injury risk at all. In fact it could make the players wearing them at a higher risk of injury as it could provide them with a false sense of security leading to them making riskier plays on the field.

Unfortunately I saw a report about them the other day that said that third party testing has shown they aren't more effective than regular helmets. In fact it's been hypothesized that they may be more dangerous for players as wearing them provides the player with a false sense of security, the players thinking they are more protected than they are, which leads to them making riskier plays on the field.
