Penn State star Kobe King was spotted vomiting on the field midway through Saturday night’s Big Ten showdown against Oregon.
Moments before the ball was snapped during the first half, the linebacker was seen walking inside his own end zone when he suddenly retched and doubled over.
As teammates watched on, King threw up, with vomit pouring through his facemask and even from above the visor of his helmet.
Rather than seek immediate medical attention, however, one of his fellow defenders gestured for King to shuffle to his right.
The redshirt junior – a native of Detroit, Michigan – had barely finished vomiting when the ball was snapped and Penn State attempted to keep out the Ducks.
Saturday night pitted two of the three top-ranked teams in college football against one another for the conference championship.

The No 1 Oregon Ducks headed into the game with a perfect 12-0 record, while the No 3 Nittany Lions were 11-1 over their first 12 games.
Both Penn State and Oregon are all-but guaranteed to be in the 12-team College Football Playoffs. They are set to be joined by Georgia after the Bulldogs overcame Texas in overtime earlier on Saturday.
Georgia became SEC champions despite losing quarterbacks at both the end of the first half and final overtime against second-ranked Texas in Atlanta.
Backup Gunner Stockton’s helmet flew off in a frightening moment as he was slammed by the Longhorns’ Andrew Mukuba on the penultimate play of the game.
Injured starter Carson Beck came back on the field for the last play to hand off to star running back Trevor Etienne for a four-yard touchdown and a 22-19 victory.
Beck had been ruled out earlier after suffering an injury to his throwing arm at the end of the first half, but was well enough to give the ball to Etienne to clinch the Bulldogs’ second SEC crown of the last three years.
