Hours after members of the Michigan and Ohio State football teams fought over a midfield plant, a similar incident occurred in North Carolina.
NC State beat North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Saturday, 35-30, and they wanted to let everyone know about it.

UNC made a decision, and the players had to be separated after several punches were thrown.
Dozens of players were on top of each other around the field which turned into a scary scene.
UNC receiver JJ Jones actually took the flag and threw it into the stands before getting into it with a member of the Wolfpack.
In the end, NC State celebrated with its fans.
Even Florida and Florida State had to be separated later in the day. The situation was quickly defused, and no punches were seen to be thrown. Head coaches Mike Norvell and Billy Napier had a lively discussion about the incident, and Norvell tossed the Florida flag to the sideline.
