Brawl breaks out in West Virginia vs Oklahoma

For much of the game, Saturday night’s battle between West Virginia and Oklahoma has been a one-sided affair. And after Sooners star receiver Drake Stoops hauled in his third touchdown grab of the game, it wasn’t just the scoreboard that got out of hand.

Upon making the catch, Stoops took a shot from West Virginia safety Anthony Wilson. After Wilson delivered the bone-jarring hit, he briefly stood over the Oklahoma receiver, who was lying on the ground in pain. Stoops’ teammates took exception to the Mountaineers’ safety, standing over him and looking down while he was injured. And that started a brawl between the two teams, which you can see in the video below.

Wilson’s hit on Stoops did initially draw a targeting penalty, but after review, it was picked up. Also, no players were ejected because of the brawl, as it was likely difficult for the officials to pinpoint what happened with the stadium lights lowered in celebration of the touchdown.

Unfortunately, it was not over following the spat between the two teams. On the very next play, Oklahoma’s extra point attempt, senior offensive lineman McKade Mettauer was ejected from the game after he went after Wilson and continued to do so after the whistle was blown.
