There was Choas during game between Miami and Florida Internation when during the 9th minute of the 3rd quarter of the Match when Miami H-back James Bryant caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Kyle Wright, making the score 14-0. Bryant then pointed toward the FIU bench and made a mocking bow toward the FIU fans. He drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. On the extra point, FIU Chris Smith wrestled Miami holder Matt Perrelli to the ground and punched him. While Perrelli was still on the ground, FIU's Marshall McDuffie, Jr. kicked Perrelli in the helmet. Miami's Derrick Morse jumped on top of McDuffie. Both benches emptied, triggering a five-minute free-for-all.
The fracas got so intense that Miami-Dade police had to be called onto the field to help restore order. At one point, players were using helmets and even crutches as weapons.
other Fights include
Miami cornerback Carlos Armour lifted an FIU player completely off the ground and slammed him to the grass. He later kicked another FIU player while he was on the ground.
Miami safety Anthony Reddick charged across the field, helmet raised over his head, and slammed it into an FIU player.
An FIU player swung a crutch at a Miami player.
It took the officials 20 minutes to sort out the penalties. Ultimately, 13 players were handed 15-yard penalties for fighting and ejected from the game (8 from FIU and 5 from Miami). Since all the penalties offset each other, Miami was forced to kick off from its own 35-yard line due to the 15-yard penalty against Bryant.
Former Miami wide reciever Lamar Thomas, who was calling the game for Comcast Sports Southeast, made several shocking comments as the brawl raged. Among them:
"Now, that's what I'm talking about! You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked. You don't come into the OB (Orange Bowl) playing that stuff. You're across the ocean over there. You're across the city. You can't come over to our place talking noise like that. You'll get your butt beat. I was about to go down the elevator to get in that thing."
"I say, why don't they just meet outside in the tunnel after the ball game and get it on some more? You don't come into the OB, baby. We've had a down couple years but you don't come in here talking smack. Not in our house."
Miami eventually won the game, 35-0.
soon the aftermath came when FIU coach Don Strock said he was "embarrassed" for what happened, and said that he would impose sanctions even more severe than any imposed by the Sun Belt Conference. Miami's Larry Coker, already under fire, was "shocked and angered" by the brawl.
The next day, 31 players from both schools--13 from Miami and 18 from FIU--were handed one-game suspensions.
For Miami: cornerback Carlos Armour, offensive tackle Chris Barney, H-back James Bryant, offensive tackle Tyrone Byrd, tight end DajLeon Farr, wide reciever Ryan Hill, cornerback Bruce Johnson, running back Charlie Jones, safety Brandon Meriweather, punter Brian Monroe, offensive guard Derrick Morse, cornerback Randy Phillips and safety Anthony Reddick
For FIU: cornerback Marshall McDuffie, Jr., cornerback Chris Smith, offensive lineman Michael Alls, linebacker Mannie Wellington, linebacker Michael Dominguez, linebacker Scott Bryant, defensive lineman Roland Clarke, fullback John Ellis, defensive back Cory Fleming, defensive lineman Reginald Jones, defensive back Robert Mitchell, linebacker Quentin Newman, defensive lineman Luis Pena, defensive end Jarvis Penerton, running back Julian Reams, defensive back Lionell Singleton, tight end Samuel Smith and wide receiver Chandler Williams
In both schools' cases, the suspensions were not staggered, which is surprising given the large number of players involved. Morse, Barney, Jones, Armour, Johnson, Samuel Smith, Chris Smith, McDuffie, Singleton, Ellis, Williams, Wellington and Penerton already faced one-game suspensions under NCAA regulations since they had been ejected. In addition, Coker had suspended Bryant, Merriweather and Reddick indefinitely earlier in the day after initially announcing that he wouldn't suspend anyone.
Later on Monday, Miami announced that Reddick would be suspended indefinitely, and that the other players would have to complete community service and sit out the next game, against Duke University. The school also enacted a "zero tolerance" policy for future incidents. Any Hurricane involved in a fight will face suspension for at least the remainder of his or her team's season, and could face permanent banishment from the team. University president Donna Shalala announced, however, that the other 12 players would not face additional suspensions. She also said that Coker would not be fired.
On the same day, FIU kicked Smith and McDuffie off the football team (though it allowed them to keep their scholarships), and suspended the remaining players indefinitely. It also placed the players on probation for the remainder of the year. The players will have to complete 10 hours of anger management counseling and 50 hours of community service.
Thomas was fired by CSS, and the network will edit out his comments when it rebroadcasts the game on October 18. Later in the day, he told ESPN Radio's Dan Patrick that he'd gotten carried away in the moment.
Some critics thought Miami's sanctions were far too lenient. For example, ESPN Radio's Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic thought that they should be suspended even longer than one game, and even suggested that Coker should be fired. ESPN.com's Gene Wojciechowski called the one-game suspensions "a soothing caress and manicure" and called for Miami to wipe the game from its records.
what do you think of this behaviour both of these teams niemmy.
