Police used pepper spray and mounted officers in riot gear to disburse what they called an ''unlawful disturbance'' following No. 5 Penn State's 38-31 win over No. 8 Wisconsin.

Police say some fans climbed on street signs, others removing a street light and even one report that a fan sprayed a police horse with a beer.

Police say the gathering after Saturday's win was larger than a group of up to 10,000 that did about $30,000 in property damage after October's upset of Ohio State. Thirteen people were charged after that incident.
