An overzealous North Carolina State football fan came away with a lot more than he bargained for when he was celebrating the Wolfpack’s rivalry win over North Carolina on Friday.

North Carolina State was down nine points with under two minutes left and managed to pull out a 34-30 victory. Fans rushed the field at Carter-Finley Stadium. For Greg Haas, he suffered the consequences of rushing the field. Haas jumped over the wall to get to the field but it didn’t go as planned.
