Photographer steps in, tackles fan on field during Penn State’s Week 8 White Out
Published:
A photographer stepped in to stop a streaker during Penn State’s White Out game in Week 8.
The incident occurred during the 4th quarter, with Penn State comfortably ahead of Minnesota at that point. The fan ran onto the field, and the photographer saw his opportunity.
The photographer went for the spear tackle, but the fan ducked below the hit. Luckily, the photographer was able to recover and hold on to the fan, finally wrestling him to the ground as security arrived.

Fans running onto the field is nothing new. A notable incident happened just weeks ago on Monday Night Football when Los Angeles Rams’ Bobby Wagner tackled a fan.
Penn State would go on to easily win this game 45-17, improving to 6-1 on the season.
