It was a bad night to be a Diet Coke in Provo, Utah, with celebrations running wild after the BYU Cougars shocked the college football world and upset the previously No. 2-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish .
Late in the game, BYU star tight end Walker Lyons made a diving touchdown grab to give the Cougars a late lead that was too much for Notre Dame to overcome.

Not only did Lyons' heroics help lead his team to victory, but it also landed him an epic celebration with his celebrity girlfriend, Dancing with the Stars dance pro Rylee Arnold.
Rylee, who is currently paired with comedian and podcaster Connor Wood on season 35 of DWTS, took some time away from her preparations for the upcoming "Dedication Night" to cheer on Lyons and the Cougars. After the game, she shared some candid photos of her celebration with the tight end on social media.
