Sadness about losing the national championship turned into frustration for at least one member of the Miami Hurricanes.

After the clock hit zeroes, Canes star Mark Fletcher Jr. was caught on the ESPN broadcast taking a swing at Hoosiers defensive lineman Tyrique Tucker. Players and personnel from both schools got between the competitors before the issue escalated further.

Carson Beck was also criticized for his postgame actions. Beck ran off the field without meeting his opponents for a postgame handshake.

Eli Manning felt for Beck and Fletcher, considering chaos ensues after such high-magnitude games.

"When the clock hits zero, it's thousands of people running onto the field, and they're bringing out stages. And it's a situation where, you know, normally you get to kind of go on the field and see different people and hang out. 

"This one, it's a very different situation. You're kind of almost rushed off. ‘Hey, you gotta get off. We want the champions on here.’ So, I understand the situation," Manning told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.
