Sure, passion is part of college football’s heartbeat, but there’s a line between heartbreak and hostility, and a few crossed it on Saturday night. The NCAA might have rules to keep things safe, ensuring “visiting team personnel and officials must have the opportunity to safely exit the competition area before spectators may access the field.” But the Miami vs. Louisville Cardinals game proved that no rulebook can stop what happens when aggressive fans find their way.
Entering the matchup as clear favorites, the Hurricanes didn’t just snap their 5-0 start; they also lost their 10-game winning streak at home, which is the fourth-longest. The frustration boiled over into a physical altercation between supporters of both programs after the game, captured in a viral clip posted by TJ Pittin
