This is an ugly occasion for college football.
The game was already in hand when the brawl occurred, with Mississippi State holding a 28-26 lead and on the cusp of victory. But the fight made for a rather gross feeling of finality.
Perhaps this was in the cards all along. Emotions had run very high before the game even started, as the two teams came together for an altercation between Mississippi State and Tulsa well before kickoff.
The incident prompted all kinds of reactions, including this from former NFL receiver Brandon Stokley:
“The NCAA/teams need to make the penalties so severe for fighting especially after games that we don’t see the nonsense @HailStateFB and @TulsaFootball just had,” Stokley tweeted. “How embarrassing for both programs!! Head coaches should be suspended plus fined also. JOKE”

Instead of scoring, Raiders running back Josh Jacobs intentionally went down at the 1-yard line on second down. Veteran quarterback Derek Carr then took a knee on third down to set up a 22-yard field goal that gave Las Vegas a 25-23 lead with 19 seconds remaining on the clock.
