WATCH: Christian Hackenberg hit an official in the head with a pass
Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg has been on a hot streak, but he got off to a slow start Saturday against Northwestern.
He also hit an official in the head with a pass in the first quarter.
Ouch! Christian Hackenberg fired a pass that drilled a ref right in the head. He's ok though! #PSUvsNU #SCNotTop10 https://t.co/m65p8TbpWa

Ouch.
That pass was one of nine incompletions among Hackenberg's first 12 pass attempts on the afternoon.
The junior ended up completing 21 of 40 passes for 205 yards with an interception. He did not throw a touchdown pass as the Nittany Lions fell 23-21 to the Wildcats.
