A spectator ran on the field in between the third and fourth quarters of Vanderbilt football's matchup with Arkansas at FirstBank Stadium on Oct. 17.
The fan ran into the south end zone with his shirt off, waving it above his head, and was tackled and apprehended by security before being escorted out.

Vanderbilt (3-3, 0-3) trailed 28-21 at the time the fan entered the field. The Commodores were playing the light show to Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" that they traditionally do between the third and fourth quarters.
After the game was tied at 14 at halftime, Arkansas (2-4, 0-3) scored two touchdowns in the third quarter while Vanderbilt scored one. The Razorbacks also missed a field goal during the quarter.
The game was Vanderbilt's homecoming. Both teams are seeking their first SEC win of the season.
