Mississippi State and Tulsa Brawl after Bowl Game, a breakdown
What Happened
Before the start of the Mississippi State vs. Tulsa bowl game, tensions boil over as the two teams engage in a brawl. Jostling and flexing escalates, with players from both sides nearly coming to blows. However, cooler heads prevail and the teams separate without any major physical altercation. As the teams take the field, the game begins with an onside kick that sees Tulsa's number 40, Bam Knox, get laid out by a big hit. Knox laughs it off, apparently unfazed, as his team recovers the kick. The officials throw flags, telling the players not to taunt the injured player. Number 2 from Tulsa helps Knox to the sideline, offering him water. Mississippi State ends up winning the game and the teams line up to congratulate each other. But the tension quickly reignites and the two squads begin shouting and yelling at one another. The coaches attempt to keep the players separated, but the situation escalates. Number 15 from Tulsa gets pushed back by a player from Mississippi State and then Tulsa's number 9, Russell, goes after a Mississippi State player's facemask. A scuffle ensues, with number 13 from Mississippi State and number 7 from Tulsa at the center of the chaos. Number 7 loses his helmet and number 4 from Tulsa kicks him while he's on the ground. The brawl continues to escalate, with players from both teams throwing punches and using towels as weapons. Number 9 from Tulsa removes number 7's helmet and goes after his head, but slips and falls. Number 4 from Tulsa attempts another head shot and number 81 also gets involved. During the melee, number 11 from Tulsa delivers a big hit to number 19 from Mississippi State, sparking another dog pile. Number 3 from Tulsa smartly avoids the fray, while number 7 from Mississippi State considers re-engaging but ultimately decides against it, smiling as he watches the chaos unfold. Eventually, the coaches and officials are able to separate the two teams and they go their separate ways, the tension and hostility of the pregame and postgame brawl overshadowing the actual game that was played.
