Mississippi State and Tulsa treated fans to a hard-fought game in the Armed Forces Bowl on Thursday, but things quickly turned ugly after the final whistle blew.

A wild brawl broke out in the moments following Mississippi State’s 28-26 win. Players from both sides appeared to throw swings as coaches stood in the middle and tried to separate them. Things then quickly got out of hand. You can see the video below.
