MADISON, Wis. -- Fans wouldn't be blamed for choosing to leave early during the Badger football team's stagnant performance in the second half against Penn State Saturday night. But for some, the choice of an early departure was made for them.

The UW-Madison Police Department said 51 people were ejected from Saturday's Homecoming game, and 25 were arrested. Of those arrested, 14 were UW students.

The near-majority of ejections, 22, were for underage alcohol possession. There were also two ejections for entering the playing surface and four ejections for trespassing.

Additionally, UWPD said there were 33 first aid calls during the came. Three people were conveyed by an ambulance and two people were found with a BAC of .20 or higher.
