LSU and Ole Miss faced each other in Oxford on Saturday after the retirement of Eli Manning’s N0. 10 before the game. The Tigers held a 7-0 1st-quarter lead as they looked to pull off an upset, but the Rebels soared from there as they scored 31 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters combined to win 31-17 and improve to 6-1.
But there were a few headlines off the field, too.
As you can see below, tempers flared among LSU and Ole Miss supporters, with a fight breaking out in the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium stands between what appeared to be fraternity brothers from both schools. One purple-clad fan looked to be getting his money’s worth as several punches were thrown in the dustup.
It’s not clear how it started, but here’s a video of part of the fight as it happened:
