In case you missed any of the drama, here\u2019s what went down on gridirons across the country.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Michigan and Ohio State players brawled on the field<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After Michigan beat Ohio State 13\u201310 and Wolverine players planted their flag on the Ohio Stadium turf on Saturday, a fight broke out between the rival teams, during which law enforcement officers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/ohio-state-police-confirm-use-of-pepper-spray-during-scuffle-with-michigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deployed pepper spray in efforts to stop the brawling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>NC State and North Carolina players did the same hours later<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Later on Saturday, a North Carolina State player tried to plant a flag on the field at rival North Carolina\u2019s Kenan Field after the Wolfpack beat the Tar Heels 35\u201330. A fight <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/tempers-flare-north-carolina-state-plants-flag-midfield-after-win-north-carolina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broke out there, too<\/a>, and that was the final game for North Carolina\u2019s recently-fired coach, Mack Brown.<\/p>\n<p><h2>College football coaches got testy<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In another flag-planting incident, Florida State head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/mike-norvell-angrily-tosses-florida-flag-that-was-planted-midfield-following-loss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">angrily threw away a Gators flag<\/a> after University of Florida players planted it there after beating the Seminoles 31\u201311 on Saturday. And Maryland coach Mike Locksley <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/james-franklin-passionately-defends-penn-state-td-blowout-win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appeared to have a heated conversation<\/a> with Penn State coach James Franklin after Penn State beat Maryland 44\u20137 on Saturday, with a last-second touchdown only extending the lead.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Georgia beat Georgia Tech after eight overtimes<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Georgia beat Georgia Tech 44\u201342 on Saturday \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college-football\/fans-blast-overtime-rules-georgia-vs-georgia-tech-game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">but only after eight overtimes<\/a>. According to college football\u2019s current rules, after the second overtime, tied teams take turns with 2-point conversion attempts to determine the winner. \u201cThis is wildly exciting, but not a good way to decide a football game,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/jj-watt\/\">JJ Watt<\/a> said of Saturday\u2019s showdown <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JJWatt\/status\/1862721206903775451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"8 overtimes in college football game thriller\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3t2OCcKNDiM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><h2>Taylor Swift watched a nail-biter of a Chiefs game<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Pop star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/taylor-swift\/\">Taylor Swift<\/a> made another appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game on Friday, November 29, supporting tight-end boyfriend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/travis-kelce\/\">Travis Kelce<\/a> as the Chiefs took on the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders came close to scoring a game-winning field goal in the game\u2019s final moments, ultimately losing to the Chiefs 17 to 19. In the stands, Taylor appeared to say, \u201cI need to go to the hospital. Oh my god.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h2>NBC aired mere seconds of Lindsey Stirling\u2019s performance<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>And in other NFL news, viewers who tuned in to watch the Green Bay Packers triumph over the Miami Dolphins 30\u201317 on Thursday, November 28, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1164534\/lindsey-stirling-packers-dolphins-halftime-show-nbc-airing\/\">saw little more than 10 seconds of Lindsey Stirling\u2019s halftime show<\/a>.
