Georgia Tech had a different way of celebrating its win over Nebraska on Wednesday night.

In the video posted to Twitter, Pastner let Khalid Moore get up in front of the coaches and his teammates to smash the ball. It took a little bit for Moore to completely break the piñata but when he did, a bunch of candy came out.
