The internet delighted in a Penn State fan who went viral for her vulgar reaction to a Drew Allar interception during Saturday’s Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl, but it was not just any fan.
During the second quarter of Saturday’s game, Allar, Penn State’s quarterback, threw an ugly interception on a deep ball. ESPN cameras caught the reaction of one fan who could clearly be seen mouthing a simple question: “What the f— was that?”

The fan, as it turns out, is Victoria Leek, the mother of Nittany Lions defensive lineman Coziah Izzard. Leek was quickly tracked down and clearly embarrassed.
“(The interception) was not pleasant to see, so I responded, not realizing there were cameras on me,” Leek told Justin Williams of The Athletic. “It was a frustrating play. Nothing against our team or our players, it was just hard to watch.”
Leek’s biggest concern was for her son, a backup defensive tackle, who she said was going to “kill me.”
“It’s funny, but I don’t want to mess up things with my son,” Leek added. “It’s so unnecessary! It’s my birthday! Y’all didn’t have to put me out there like that. That was not supposed to be seen. I was talking to my family. They gotta give me a flag when I’m going to be on camera so I can be politically correct.”
Leek was not saying anything that other Penn State fans weren’t thinking. Allar may well have been asking himself the same question. If anything, we want to know if she gets as annoyed at James Franklin as some other Nittany Lions fans do.
