Eastern Michigan Player Sucker Punches South Alabama Player After 49-Point Loss, Melee Erupts on Field (VIDEO)
A post-game altercation erupted into violence when an Eastern Michigan player sucker-punched South Alabama’s player, inciting a melee on the field.
The incident followed South Alabama’s crushing victory over Eastern Michigan, with a final score of 59-10, in the 68 Ventures Bowl held at Hancock Whitney Stadium in Mobile, Ala., this past Saturday night. The comprehensive win marked South Alabama’s first ever bowl triumph, but the jubilant occasion was marred by the subsequent chaos.
As the South Alabama team congregated to celebrate and sing their alma mater facing the marching band, Eastern Michigan’s graduate defensive back, Korey Hernandez, was captured on video rushing towards and striking South Alabama’s defensive back Jamarrien Burt from behind, AL.com reported.
