Easter Weekend is here. That means millions of kids across the U.S. have a great excuse to get more candy (and cavities) courtesy of the Easter Bunny.

On Saturday afternoon, Penn State football head coach James Franklin dressed up as an Easter Bunny, and held a bat in hand to demolish a piñata filled with Easter candy for some kids. Instead, at the last second before taking a swing at the piñata, Franklin decided to ditch the bat and use his football skills to make a flying tackle into the piñata, cracking it open for the screaming children. Of course, mayhem ensued as the kids had a field day with all the sugar goodies on the ground to take. 

No need for a scavenger hunt for kids to find candy in the grass when you've got Coach Franklin in your neighborhood to spill it out for you.
