What a day for App State.

Everything wasn’t all good, however, as one Troy player took out his frustration on one of the students.
Video of the field storm appeared to show one player either punching or shoving a fan to the ground.
After the Hail Mary, ESPN broadcast shows what looks to be a Troy offensive lineman punching an App State fan in the back of the head as they rush the field, sending them to the turf.
You can see a couple other fans yell back at him. @WRAL pic.twitter.com/3nLijTT16Q
