In what has apparently become a common practice after winning a rivalry game, as seen throughout the day, the Wolfpack attempted to plant their team's flag at midfield. Something that North Carolina players did not take too kindly too, and ended up exchanging blows over.

An all-out melee broke out after the Wolfpack’s 35-30 win over the Tar Heels on Saturday. The flag-planting that started an ugly scene in Columbus was repeated in Chapel Hill and North Carolina players didn’t appreciate it any more than the Buckeyes.
