College football players scuffle after flags come out following rivalry wins
It was flag day in college football
College football was dominated by flags on Saturday. Not the ones thrown by officials — the ones planted by players in the middle of the field.
Michigan, North Carolina State and Florida celebrated road wins by displaying flags on the logos in the middle of their rivals' stadiums. Arizona State put its own twist on the day with a trident.
The results were, well, predictable.
Michigan scuffled with Ohio State after a group of Wolverines attempted to plant their flag in the middle of Ohio Stadium in Columbus following a 13-10 victory. There was a similar scene in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, after at least one N.C. State player tried to plant a Wolfpack flag on UNC’s field following a 35-30 win. And another skirmish in Tallahassee, Florida, after Gators edge rusher George Gumbs Jr. planted a flag on Florida State's logo after a 31-11 win.
