Ohio and Georgia Southern traded blows on the football field, but not in the way one would think.
A fight broke out between the two teams during the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Saturday. It happened after the holder for Georgia Southern tried to fight Ohio players following an extra point. Multiple players got involved after that, which led to flags being thrown by the officials.
