Heated Brawl Erupts After Miami's National Championship Loss
A tense confrontation between Miami running back Mark Fletcher and an Indiana defender ended with Fletcher throwing punches on the field at Hard Rock Stadium, marking a dramatic finish to Monday's CFP National Championship.
The 21-year-old Fletcher had a standout performance in the loss, rushing for 112 yards and scoring two touchdowns. He also added one reception for eight yards, bringing his total yardage to 507 over the four-game playoff run.
Fletcher made history by passing Ezekiel Elliott as the player with the most career rushing yards in College Football Playoff history with a 57-yard score in the third quarter. However, it wasn't enough to secure victory for the Hurricanes, who fell to Indiana 27-21.
The exact cause of the altercation between Fletcher and the Hoosiers' Tyrique Tucker remains unclear, but witnesses reported that Fletcher appeared set to chase down the defensive back before a staffer intervened to calm him down.
