An emotional Boca Raton Bowl between Louisville and Toledo finally boiled over in the waning moments.
As the Cardinals tried to kill the clock within the last two minutes of the game up 27-22, Isaac Brown was seemingly hit late out of bounds by linebacker K’Von Sherman.
The Louisville bench took issue with the hit, and a dust-up ensued, with multiple players getting involved in a scrum.
Several minutes and innumerable shoves later, offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties were called. Notably absent was a call for a late hit, implying Sherman’s hit was within the field of play in the eyes of the officials.
Earlier in the quarter, Louisville linebacker Clev Lubin was ejected for targeting, adding a punctuation mark to what had been a physical game. The scrum to end the game ultimately amounted to nothing, with Louisville successfully killing the clock to win 27-22. In the final moments, Toledo was flagged for a delay of game for interrupting a snap on a kneeldown by Louisville, but the final moments of the game were otherwise without incident.
