Penn State Fans Handle Win Over Ohio State With Usual Amount of Class

A celebration of Penn State’s 13-6 win over Ohio State on Saturday turned destructive as people pulled down light poles and street signs, climbed atop cars and tossed objects off balconies in downtown State College.

Revelers in the crowd, which stretched from Beaver to College avenues, between Garner and Pugh streets, and up to Locust Lane, tore down at least two light poles, a stop sign and a one-way-street sign.

Shoes, water, toilet paper, pots, pans and even a newspaper box were tossed into the crowd. Cars were damaged and several small fires were started, but quickly put out.

Hundreds of people were maced and police were able to clear the streets around 1:30 a.m., after more than two hours of the disturbance.
