Miami FIU Fight

Bench-clearing brawl interrupts Miami-FIU game

MIAMI -- A sideline-clearing brawl interrupted the third quarter of the Florida International-Miami game Saturday night, prompting the ejection of at least 10 players in the first meeting between the South Florida schools.

The fight started shortly after Jon Peattie's extra point with 9:00 left in the third quarter gave Miami a 14-0 lead. Both sidelines quickly emptied, with several fights breaking out during the melee before order was restored.

The brawl lasted about five minutes, and it took officials several more minutes to sort out the penalties. Players from both sides appeared to be swinging helmets, and one injured FIU player came onto the field swinging a crutch at Miami players.

More than two dozen uniformed police officers came onto the field, trying to end the fights.

Both teams had five players ejected, though it was not immediately clear which players were tossed.

Several minutes after order was restored on the field, one fight broke out among fans in the northwest corner of the end zone, with more than 12 police officers running into the stands to break up that melee. More officers, including some wearing helmets, continued to surround the perimeter of the field.

Tensions ran high throughout the evening, with several instances of players exchanging heated words at the end of plays.

But emotions quickly boiled over after Miami's second touchdown.

James Bryant caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Wright, then drew a 15-yard flag for unsportsmanlike conduct. After that catch, he appeared to point at the FIU bench, then took a theatrical bow.

Moments later, Peattie kicked the extra point and the brawl started.

If anyone saw the video of this during the half-time break at the Penn State vs. Michigan game, it was pretty bad, worse than any I have ever seen.

If someone finds the video, please post it up. I will be looking around for it myself.

I did see that brawl at half-time during the Michigan vs Penn State game. There's no excuse for that type of behavior; several of those players should be suspended for the rest of the season. This will reflect poorly on college football especially on Miami since it gets so much media exposure.

Some of those guys should be done for the year IMO. Fights are going to break out in football, and a lot of other sports, but for that dude to take his helmet off, and start hitting another player with it. That is a criminal act.

In situations like this they should just call the game off, give them both a loss, and have NCAA suspend the whole teams for a game or two which in turn they would have to forfeit which would result in another loss or two. No excuse for college football players to be acting like that during a game.

Yeah pretty stupid, but at least miami was exciting for once this season.

damn did you see the guys stomping on the MIU players legs? Brutal...that should be the end of the offending players' seasons. Completely unacceptable behavior at any level of play.

Michigan once again gives a concusion to a PSU quarterback. In recent years thay also gave a concusion to Zach Mills, Larry Robinson and this year to Morelli. Last year Williams (wide receiver) suffered a broken arm against Michigan
